The biggest costs are usally labour, so if you have access to the equipment
and have the skills to do the work then there is a good chance of making
money. There are other factors such as the purchase price of the vehicle to
be restored and having good contacts to get parts at the right price
the wheels are worth $ 50 for all 5 of them.

Mig welding is one of the easiest to learn, but the trick to using a mig welder
is knowing the different settings used on the welder for the metal you are
welding. There are different speed settings for the wire feed and heat. Some of
the cheaper models are don't use gas and they plug right
