Welding Advice?

[warcalf]

I'm looking to get in to welding, planning self-teach... Now I'm sure there are far better places to ask about this stuff. But as I'm looking to get in to welding solely for the intention for working on cars, future projects and builds, I thought I'd ask on here!

From the research I've done a lot depends on what you're welding which I have already answered, cars! Now I believe the easiest technique to learn is MIG, which I have a basic unpracticed understanding of. Can this technique be used for car chassis and such? If not or if so, is it the most commonly used way of working on/with cars?

I suppose to get to the point I'm looking for info on welding to do with cars and the best way to approach getting set-up to teach myself welding at home for work on cars and any recommendations for the best kit to buy. (I have some ideas in advance with regards to kit, but I'm not sure if it's suitable for work on cars. If that's even a factor...)

Thanks in advance!

I'd love to do the classes, but with an energetic high exercise demanding hound to look after and long working hours, it's not really on the cards right now But it could be worth looking in to!
