i have to replace my rear floor and want to do it myself. are these 110v gasless mig welders i see for $200-250 any good for this kinda work?
 
Yes, I am no welder. Just started welding a couple of weeks ago.. I used a lincoln 110v gasless to feel in all the holes left from the body trims.. It worked great and I had to turn the cycle way down..My .02...Dan
 
Will work fine. Use .024 wire and you'll be golden (all good).

i have a gasless mig i bought from sears.it was only 199 dollars.ive welded in floorpans and done some minor body repair.i have to run it on low so it wont burn holes.
 
You bet. I use a small Lincoln, works great to 3/16, 1/4 inch stuff, you may need to make more than one pass. You can burn holes thru 1/8 inch (.120 wall) if you're not careful.
 
I have a 110 with gas lincoln
I turn the heat all the way up
its actually best so u get a low build up bead that is strog and lesst o grind
warping is a big problem. I wait until the weld is cool to tough before i doanother tack
