[quote][i]Originally posted by combatvauxhall[/i] Right if your going to be welding on a corsa, you want either a MIG or Oxy-acetylene welder. MIG runs off electricity and uses gas(argonshield light) to stop the weld from being exposed to atmospheric conditions. A lot quicker to weld with due to the heat being produced with electricity and not gas. Easier to learn with then gas welders. Oxy-acetylene is a gas welder setup, two bottles, oxygen and acetylene. Very slow to weld with, produce a lot of distortion on flat panels if not corrected. Harder to learn then MIG. Spot welders (resistance) are useful if your doing a lot of panel replacement, but just do a mig plug if your not using it constantly. TIG welders primarily used to weld ally, are incredably difficult to learn to use. I've been learning for two years and still fcuk it up! Wouldnt bother with this unless your weorking on racing cars etc... Hope that helps, if your going to be welding on your car, get some tuition from somebody that really knows what their doing. Colleges probably offer night classes for intro to welding plus it would help immensly. Welding your car can be fooking dangerous if you dont do it properly. Good luck fella:thumbs: [/quote]
