Gonna use it, primarily, in the process of converting my nova to an xe. So will be seam welding the engine bay up, and chopping out thechunk of chassis leg and re-welding.

What should i be looking for in the spec? and anyone got any links where i could look at some recommended. not sure on prices tbh, around £150??

cheers, corb.

i think as your playing with chassis metal which is thicker than body metal you might need a slightly more powerful one maybe the 130T with thicker metals i believe you need more ampage.
