Wow, I've not seen that type of light you've got on your roof for a few years. I used to have a set of them fitted to my old Espace about 10 years ago! :shock:

Buying me a new Mig welder saturday, currently have a gasless one, but dont really trust the results, not a nice looking weld :/

At work I use tig and stick, so Migs not my norm. But been watching loads of vids on how it improve my thin metal mig welding skills ;)

Let the welding begin!!!!!!!
