That's what I have. For taking the wheels off, running an air rachet, some
drilling and grinding, inflating tires and beachballs, it works fine. The
oiless (sp?) compressor is loud, so you might want to build a box around it
and line it with insulation or acoustical ceiling tiles.
If you are really going first class, and you want to do body work, bead
blasting, and painting, you will need more. But for a weekend warrior
hobbyist, it is fine.
