Your welcome man. You may be able to find a nice use tig also. But remember you may have to give up size. The older tig machines are transformer machines and they are heavy but last forever basically. The newer machines are inverters and that is the reason for the compact size. If size is not an issue you may be able to find a nice used transformer machine cheaper than the diversion. Size was a issue for me I work in a 2 car garage. I paid 1600 for my Miller Diversion 180. I'm sure you could find a older machine much cheaper.

By the way, once you tig body panels man you will never go back.lol But you will always have use for you mig. I find I love them both and the both have their uses.
