    Welcome :thumbsup:
     
  13. Just like mine was - if there is a load of welding underside - buy a roll over jig off Ebay- it will make your life soooooo much better.
    and if you are going to buy a welder - try a tig one out first - I found it a lot better than a mig-
    Good luck and enjoy learning how to do stuff - most of its on Utube if you get stuck.
