I bought a 240z about 3 years ago and finally have some money and a place to work on it. I want to get started here in the next month but I am starting fresh as far as tools go :-/ I found a deal online to get this welder http://www.eastwood.com/mig-welder-110vac-135a-output.html for $199 most reviews I read people paid 300-400 for it and I see great feedback on it. From your guys experience would this be sufficient? My Z is pretty rusty and will need new floors/ more than likely frame rails. (Its set to be shipped to me later this month or Id take a closer look) If I recall nothing on the Z was 1/4" or above.
I am going to be tearing this guy down to the frame and have seen some homemade rotisseries that look like they would make things a lot easier. Has anyone tried multiple or heard bad/good things from certain designs? Iv looked up a few but I have just seen a general idea applied and a picture but no exact measurements.
Well I know I have plenty of research to do. I spent a good 3-4 hours yesterday looking up bodywork and Il tell you atleast 1/4 of that time was wasted by ill practice in my opinion.
I would like to start stripping my Z down as soon as I get it and hate 5 trips to Lowes in one day lol. If you can throw a list of tools you use frequently during resto and tools you didn't have and had to make a trip for that would be awesome!
