depends on what sort of welding work your going to be doing. I would recommend a mig welder to start with

You dont need a huge one and if your only wanting to do minor repairs on your own cars a 130 will do lovely, see what you can get for your money on EBAY but try to remember postage costs are quite high for them.

MIG welders are the easiest to learn with but if you can get something like an ARC welder and get used to that as will find MIG a piece of piss if you can master the harder welders.
