Does the earth wire not need disconnecting? probably me being paranoid, but i'd remove or drain the tank too.

Even if i disconnect the battery, everything will still be connected to the frame so wont the electricity kind of reverse polarity the electronics and burn them. Or not because there is no full circuit.

wasting your time with gasless mig, not nearly as strong as the right way, gasless was made to do minor welds, welding a frame is serious stuff, will fail a MOT test too if not done correctly, best take it to a pro, wont cost you much if its not serious.
