Most welding on a car is done in the 80 to 110 amp range which that little welder is fully capable of. The quality of the weld is more dependent on the operator than the machine...

welding anything other than sheet metal get's sketchy with a 110v unit, they can weld at 80-100 but there best suited to 60-70 because of the duty cycle. That's a Handy Mig welder, which ain't bad, but thickest it's rated to weld is 1/8",

edit, on further inspection, it is ither a flux wire or a arc welder. a 110 arc welder could do the welds nicely, but it's hard to get good arc welds
