Default Welder

The time has come! I have actually found a welder that I can afford, the question is will it be good enough? I'm not looking to weld together an entire frame from scratch, I'm just looking to a 2slicknick type job (like that murray kart). Welding parts onto the frame, seatbacks, etc etc. It's a 70amp arc welder. Do ya guys think it'd be fine? Looked it up and I see that it welds up to 1/8in thick, I know welding will take some time and practice (and a helmet! ) but it would fine, wouldn't it? I don't think any of the tubing on my YD is more than 1/8?

Edit: According to metalstudman, the metal is about 16ga thick (.0598in) and the welder handles 11-12ga (.125in) so I'm good to go there. Got info from this thread
