Im taking the plunge, Im going to buy some welding kit and give it a go. 🤪
So Im looking for something around the 150-170amp range, I will be doing panel work and anything else that might be found on a VW body or pan. Preferably copper internals, gas usuable and fan cooled

Advice on good welding shops around brissy would be good to, Im on the southside, and I need to know where to get the metal from to if anyone knows a place over this way.

If you have anything you think might be suitable please let me know. Ive been looking at the SIP and CIG units as reference.
Thanks in advance.
