What's a good intro welder for subframe connectors?

i bought a used eastwood for my first welder
didnt come with a bottle so i slapped some fluxcore wire on it and im loving it

i welded exhaust with it, 4 wheeler frame, more exhaust, trailer hitches, subframe connecters, more exhaust
i love this thing, and i dont see any issue with a beginner using fluxcore
flip the polarities and you're good to go

sure, its a little dirtier of a weld BUT it can be done at any windspeed

of course, even my greatest weld looks like crap, but they all hold (i like to call them blind welds)

It can also be argued that a good flux core weld is stronger than a mig weld on the same type material. That's a fact most people either overlook or don't know. And it is a fact. Even still, I prefer using a shielding gas of "some sort" as it sure keeps the spatter down. I'm pretty fair skinned and cannot STAND getting burned.
