Mig. Mig, mig, mig. Don't waste your money on those little "hobby quality" DC stick welders that are little more than glorifed battery chargers-sure, they're cheap, but it's REALLY HARD to control the amperage and arc well enough to cleanly weld sheetmetal. I made that mistake on my '66 912 restoration and spent WAYY too much time welding, grinding, welding again, grinding again, etc. Spend the $250-$500 for a middle of the road MIG setup , take a welding class at a community college, and make life easier for yourself.

Eastwood and Harbor Freight Tools are great places to get welders and supplies...
