Default Need basic welder for body work, help

Never welded before... need to start with something. No frame welds I was thinking onlu of body repair welds.

Could I use the spot weld ?http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-115V-ELECTRI...QQcmdZViewItem


Or the MIG ( no gas )

Just simple work, rust spots etc... Now I am just looking for something cheap, and easy to use. ( Since never did that before )

Thanks for input.

well.. there is a problem with using the mig self shielding flux core wire.. the metal you are welding is a lot more likely, and prolly will become contaminated.. and the repaired spot becomes really weak..

it will get the job done.. but if you have never welded before, you might do more harm than good with that kind of welding machine..
