Buying a mig

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Well finally got my self a mig 8-) Its a parweld 170A. I havent tryed it yet so not sure if its any good or not, but im sure it sould be more than capable of patching in the sj.

Just got to get some gas at the weekend, and the learning process can begin.
