hey what welder would you get for around 500-700 dollars. i want to make some flux cored manifolds and exhausts and possibly do some body work.

 

You can get a good lincoln or miller 185 mig for that money. I have a Lincoln SP135T and paid around $500 shipped new for it. Its a great little 1/4" machine. Sounds good for what you want to do with it and its 120 volt so you can use a standard house hold plug for it. They also offer a Rheostat version for a little more money so the heat control is more precise. I just do exhaust and traction bars with it so the 5 settings are fine.
