Welding a 914

I bought my 914 a couple months ago as a winter project. I've spent these last couple months figuring out how I'm going to aproach this. I plan on tearing it down to the chassis, fixing what needs fixing, and then building it back up. There is rust so I'm guessing I'll have to do some welding to get the chassis back to full strength and replace any parts/areas that are too far gone (if any). I've never welded before so I need to start learning how. I need to buy a welder. I looked at welders on line. Home Depot sells a wire feed welder for about $340. It's 30-100 amps. Would something like this be all I would need to fix anything on a 914? It says it can weld up to 1/4". As far as I can tell there is nothing this thick on the 914. If this won't work, what kind of welder do I need?
