Welders / welding

[Tyson Sherman <tsherman@tecinfo.com>]

I've got a few rust panels that should be welded in my
73 Midget project....floors, battery tray, boot floor (maybe),
and the panels between the doors & fenders (typical
Spridget spot).
I know that MIG welding is the way to go, but is one
such as the mity mite from Moss what I would need to
do this?  It is a possible Christmas present - I'd have
to learn how to weld.  Or, would it be cheaper to pay someone
to weld the above sections.
Thanks,
Tyson
