It's the $800 Eastwood TIG200. For $800 its not a bad unit once you get used to it and dial it in.

The DC only version is on sale for $599. The only down side is you cannot weld aluminum with that. The other unit like we have is still regular price Jerry.

Ya I was just looking at that on their site and hoped that wasn't the one he was referring too. Needs to be ac/dc for aluminum. Unless he seen it on another site?

Now it's time to run some wire. I bought the sportsman box from Leash and pro touring box. They have relays and fuses all built into them so I don't have to mess with any of that, just run wire. The sportsman box will power my starter, fuel pump, water pump, fans, lights, Trans break, line lock, aux tach and a few other random things. The pro touring box will power my turn signals, head lights, parking lights, dome, break and a few extra ing. and batt+ outputs for power windows n locks. These will make wiring it a ton easier and safe vs random fuses everywhere. Then I have a billet mounting plate for the computer. I'll be pulling off my hvac plate and mount it all to that inside the car..

Bigger box was $210 and lights box was $140. I don't think it's too bad considering some relays cost $20 or so.
