Can anyone recommend a MIG welder

To weld 1mm steel body panels e.g. doors, arches. Gasless preferred

Bump
That's a MIG welder not a person that does MIG welding.
I have a SIP handymate and it's sh*t.
I also have an arc welder but it wont do 1 mm steel

Clarke will do the job. Never used gasless myself, heard it was a bit rubbish so I got the proper stuff.

I've used a Clarke from Machine Mart for years. Done me proud :) never tried gasless, have seen pics of other peoples efforts with them in the past, and they weren't good.

I bought this http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/shop/clarke-160tm.htm

It seems to be one of the most popular ones for the money and has coped with everything so far.

Look at reviews on mig-welding.co.uk

I bought a clarke 151en and its pretty good.. used gasless and gas and to be honest gas is easier and cleaner but gasless does do the job.. just not as nicely ;)

Could it go low enough for 1mm steel for panels etc.

Yea Clarke is good for the money but use a good quality gas like argshield rather than CO2 for welding thin metal

I got a MIG welder for my birthday so I'm going to keep it and do the body repairs
It's a Wolf MIG 140 gas/no gas.
Good value for money and it does the business
I advise everyone to avoid SIP MigMate 90 absolute scheiss

Have a look at page 2 of my blog, I treated myself to a new Cebora 130, similar to a Wolf, it's done all my welding, I use Argon / C02 mix, flexible control
