Here's a cheap 90amp with a regulator, guess it all depends on your budget, 90amps would be fine for body panels

If you get into name brand you're looking at about double the cost and if you want to run gas instead of flux core wire then that'll be another $100+ investment in the least.
Gas mig will look the cleanest, flux core would work fine as well given you buy quality wire.
I guess if it works though, then thats all that matters.
Yes.
What?
Yes.

Your not going to just buy this and start welding tomorrow. You need a proper helmet, pic, multiple size sticks depending on the job. Need a lot of space for flying sparks and slag hot metal flying off.
Wire feed may be a better first time learner welder.
It's not long before your "auto body welder" friend decides he can do your exhaust with a MIG.
I've migged exhaust pipes and body panels too, some even with flux core and not gas, and no issues after years.
Grind it down well to make sure any oxidation that did get in there is gone, and protect it and it is fine.
But with wire weld, a beginner will still probably have to do plenty of grinding and filling in the holes, nothing to be ashamed of.
Grab the $10 10 pack of flap wheels from supreme abrasives next time it comes around. They wear quicker than a grinding wheel but also work much faster. I use both depending on how much needs to be ground down. If it is a lot, I will use the wheel for the bulk of it and spend the extra time as otherwise you'll burn through a lot of $ in flaps. Then just final cleanup with flap.

I'm guessing rarely to never.
