I used that setup for the sills on my MGB and it worked quite well.
You will also need to purchase a tank, gas, and a mask.
You might want to check around a bit at local welding shops. I
believe that Lincoln makes a comparable unit with the gas kit
already installed.
While you are there, check out the auto-darkening masks. They
are a bit expensive, but will make your work easier. I also think
they make your work somewhat safer since you are less likely to
accidentally trigger the welder with your mask up while setting up
in an tight spot.
