The 3200 is going to struggle a bit, you'll want a thicker wire and flux core wouldn't hurt -- it'll get more heat into the weld than using gas. Just crank it all the way up, you'll need every last amp that little guy can produce

Going back to to flux core tomorrow to see if it will do it.

Try a friend with a bigger welder or a bodyshop. I don't know that I would trust many welding shops with my car. They often are not very careful. My parrents own a welding shop too. I say find a bodyshop because they have an apprecation for the car.My dad also owned a Bodyshop for 16 yrs.
