I've welded car bodies up before with a stick welder, but that was
before the days of MIG, and before bodyfiller was fround upon on the
MOT.

I've done upside down welding on Landie chassis, I've brazed car
sill's on with the carbon brazing rod attachment.

All good experience.

But I would go for the MIG any day.

Depends on what you want to weld. If things like garden gates then it's
probably ok with practice. For thin sheet like car bodywork you need a MIG
- and a decent one at that.
