Harbor freight has mig and tig welders under 200 bucks too...

I can second the fact that MIG welding is very easy to learn. I actually broke down and took a class at the local Comm College. It was only $250 after tuition and mats. Plus, I was able to actually take some of that cost off of my taxes. And now as soon as I get my hands on a garage - I'm going to get my hands on a MIG.

But alas, I am now part of the Unemployed Diesel Owners... (Let go 2 days before Christmas). And on top of the growing holes in my floor, I also just realized that the inside boot on my rear driver side has completely torn and the right front upper control arm is starting to go.

When does one go from keeping the car fixed to driving it till the wheels fall off?
