That’s probably scratch-start TIG (you have to touch the electrode on the work piece to start the arc) so not good long term but ok to dabble and learn. The MIG probably works fine.
I’d be tempted to get an RTech for the support and advice. Check for second hand ones, also sold prices on eBay, might be worth hanging around for if they come up semi regularly.

Many thanks for your comments.
I think being patient and keeping an eye out for some eBay deals seems like the best plan.
I have to (read: want to, ie, could pay someone else to do it) refurbish this bulkhead and get it installed on the car all ready for a 15th March MOT date 😂
So far I have the bulkhead and today is prep day 2.
When/if I’ll get to welding repair panels in the car park / on the kitchen table day, will keep you posted…

Really appreciated mate.
Am I stupid buying something like this for £120, even if it’s just to learn / realise I’m useless, before buying something better:
