Hi,yes a 13amp supply should be fine for the job,have a look on the UKwelder forum here,
www.ukwelder.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t4019.html
It would be best if you could find someone local to lend/help you with the welding or you will be looking at hiring (expensive for a little job) or buying outright your own kit,will work out cheaper in the end.i bought a nearly new Clarke 130 amp gasless MIG with some pre fluxed wire for £100,it doesn`t get used much but is here if i ever do need to fry some metal up.
Saying that,i did all the boot floor on one of my old Discoverys and most of the welding on my 5 without spending anything more than initial cost.
IMPORTANT NOTE It is always best to have a fire watcher when welding.
Have a peek round the welding forum for info and maybe local garages / handy man type dudes local papers etc to see if you can get it done for cheap,maybe?
You may just be able to bash it straight enough,but that is a bit "cowboy" as mentioned previously on the thread.
