    Iv been a fabricator for 20 years and worked all over the world doing it (mig / mma) and only learned to tig 2 years ago after a lad who i work with now showed me the correct techniques. And the tips that actually make the process work. If you get the right teacher you will pick it up in no time pal judging by the standard of work on your car..

    My mig ability fluctuates as I do it so sporadically. Mostly I?m just tacking and I get in a proper welder like you to zip round it all. Every time I get to a point where I feel happy to weld it up myself my 10yr+ cheap Clarke mig reliability promptly reminds me why I get someone in.

    What do you think of the dual machines that can mig & tig? Or better to keep separate?

    Keep them all seperate sets pal. But to be totally honest i would only ever tig stainless with a 240v set as the ac doesnt balance correctly with 240 for alloy im not saying it doesnt work but it doesnt flow anywere near aswell as the 3phase 400v
    I tac the stuff together at home with 240 then take it to work and weld it on 3 phase for alloy.

    If you do go for 240 ac dc tig set make sure its an inverter and you should get away with it easy enough

    Loads of good makes and models out there pal but id say best value for money is the r tech 200acdc thats what i use in my garage at home. Looking around ?1200 sort of area so nothing too expensive and does just about anything the same spec miller or lincoln can but half the price
