Welding is just something you get better at the more you do / more different things you weld....ive never been taught how to weld by anyone...just lots of practice on and around the farm / cars etc...
For car stuff you wouldnt want anything other than a MIG tbh, there just easy to use / good for thin stuff.
The one ive got atm is a 180amp, which for me isnt near enough, as im still finding myself needing to use the old trusty arc for the thick stuff to get proper penatration etc, but for car stuff, ive found ive not needed anything more than the 180, for anything like exhausts / body repairs etc anyways, only thing sometimes is welding cast like manifolds etc, normally still use the arc for that, as it works better!
Also worth noting, do not even bother messing around with them dissposable bottles, they last 30 seconds / cost a fortune to run!
