What gas are you using on your mig Adam? You need 95%or> Argon (but pure helium is best) and ally wire. Ally wire can be purchased , even for smaller sets, at local welding or gas supliers as too can the gas. The tacks can all be disguised later by a good TIG welder (person that is not machine). Expensive, but worth it just to tack parts up, allly with MIG is not the best by any means thogh, please don't think you can make a good job welding it with MIG unless you have a budget the size of the FORD motors company. Phfttftf, pftftf...sorry for the swear words.

He's called "Move you heavy Bastard" and is our new friend, don't knock him, even though he took several hours just to unload from the truck :roll: Oh and I'd just like to add "Air tools rock!". (One day I'll finish the tools and start work on the car...)

All the best,

Owen.
