well, i am having a time of it finding a place around here that i trust to do any welding on my car. only real places i have found are damn import shops, and i really just dont trust them with subframes, let alone a torque arm. i am debating on buying a mig welder and doing the subframes and TA welding myself, getting an angle grinder for cleanup and site prep.
i have done light welding before with an arc welder back with an old company but nothing massivly in depth. just trying to figure if i'd be good dropping 500 on a welder and doing it myself (saving install money and actually knowing its done right) but after subframes and TA plus possibly a roll bar i am out of things to weld on the mustang. think i'd find uses for one? think its worth the expendature?
does anyone else have a welder and do their own, and what else have you used it for aside from the car? was tempted to make my own patio table off a picture i saw before that used welded bars as a frame to hold ceramic tiles for the table top.. looked really nice. and could use that "granite" spray paint to give it a nice look ya know? but after that i am kinda in the dark for uses, and if its a worthy investment... what do you guys think? think i'm an idiot for even wanting to do the welding on the car myself?
