I need some welding help! $$$

[86lxttop]

Anyone on here good at welding and willing to come to my garage and help me weld up my new fender aprons and core support? I have a welder but it's just a 90 amp stick welder...I'm pretty sure it won't be enough to do the job. Its an 86 foxbody and I'm located in west Plano off of Park and Preston area. If anyone would come out and help me I'd really appreciate it and can throw some cash your way! Let me know! Thanks in advance - James

No I don't unfortunately...so I guess it would have to be someone with a welder/generator on the back of a truck

you dont need 120, but you need a mig or tig.

will your stick welder TIG weld?

I asked because my mig is 220 but yes you are correct a 110 volt mig will do just fine for that job

It's a 90 amp flux wire welder...the cheap one from harbor freight. Works decent to weld up the holes in the strut towers and firewall. Not sure how it'll work for this. :/

I don't really want it just spot welded in either... I would love for it to be stronger than original. I can grind away the welds and fill anything else in. My ultimate goal is a clean smooth engine bay!

If your goal is to smooth out the engine bay you might as well start learning now and do it yourself.

You can get a 110 might setup for under $450 new from most places. Buy a gas tank and a few odds and ends.

The money you pay someone will cover your expenses doing it yourself.

I would only spot/stitch weld it. If you fully weld it the slightest collision will total that poor car. If the front can't crumple it finds a worse spot to do so

I am confused

You said you have a stick welder, but this comment indicates it is wire feed

If it is flux-core wire feed it should work for filling holes in sheet metal. Just grab a copper backing plate/hear sink and make small plugs or use round bar to weld into the holes. It wont be pretty but that is what abrasives and filler are for.
