Some time back, I borrowed a friend's 110v Lincoln welder.
Wire feed, gas shield......a slick little unit, with enuff poop to weld
anything on a 914. I'm not sure of the model #, but they only make one 110v jobbie, I think. I tried to buy it from him......he tole me to stuff it...or words to that effect, "go buy your own" was in there, too.

Many of the "inexpensive" rigs are not reliable, or so I have been told.....jaming tips, feed wheels goin' to hell, yada. The Lincoln performed flawlessly.....much better than the operator. I'm told their customer support cannot be faulted.....I dunno, I had it for 3-4 months and couldn't hurt it.

BTW, I used a wire called "Easy Grind" .025 dia. for body work.
It's softer than your typical 6 or 7000 series wire.....thus.....easier to grind...go figure
