The first one can do 95% of the stuff on a car. Seeing that you are not a welder. I doubt you would ever need the second one. The first will do what you want it to.

I'd get a gas welder. Your going to burn a lot of holes and make a lot of splatter if you use a flux core welder.

With MIG and FCAW if the machine is set right it shouldn't spatter
