    The ancient miller 200 at my work is more of a brownish black color.. All we do is feed it 44 pound rolls of wire every 2-3 months. New contact tips whenever I feel like it. Never in a million years would I think of "restoring" it.

    Eh. Call it a fun side project. The 75% of the year I’m not using it and have to look at it I’ll be happy that I restored it.

    It’s in pretty bad shape. It barely worked when I tested it. Needed a new gun.

    Dude just replace the gun and call it good.

    You'll look back on this later a go "man why did i bother with that? So much time and and money for nothing".

    From where I'm sitting. You don't need a side project. You need to do your real projects.

    It's nice to have no rent and lots of free time. but you're running out of that fast. Its not worth the investment just to "look at". Use it. Put a tarp over it so you don't have to see it.

    very nice! bit over priced i think..but still nice.

    yeah pass. 7mge..nah haha

    I thought you guys were crazy with the MR2 talk, but I guess I really forgot about those rides. That thing is sweet. Definitely overpriced, but clean. I am a convert

    @BartMaster1234 ^^^ I used to hate it when people told me time goes fast, take advantage of it when your young. I really hate that I agree with it now, but years go by like months, Start turning that truck out when you can. If I had the money or knowledge of trucks at your age I would be way ahead of the game. Spend your time on the truck while you aren't paying bills. I also wish I had money at 19 ahha. I was using public transit back then.

    Yeah you're right. Figured I'd get all the creativeness out of me before I have no more free time.

    I've had a lot of people tell me that. It's very humbling to hear something like that. Thank you.
