Default Mig Welders

I've been trying to do some body work and rust repair on my truck before I
sell it and I'm getting close to the point of needing to weld in some
metal to replace the rusted metal. This isn't so much to increase the
value of the truck as it is to learn to do some body work and rust repair.
My welder is a Century 145A (IIRC) 230V Sam's Club special that came with
the MIG Gas regulator kit.

Use the Century! Those little welders don't do sheet metal well, especially
imperfect sheet metal. Dial down and "stitch weld" with short "baps" with
cooling time between close welds. Have the metal as clean as you can.
