Converting my Lincoln Weldpak 100 Wire-Feed Welder to MIG

I don't remember when I bought my Lincoln wire feed welder but it was many years ago, and I bought it used. For all these years I've had it, it's been a nice upgrade from my 45-year-old Sears Craftsman buzz box stick welder.

As nice as my wire-feed welder is, it has come time to upgrade it to MIG. I've had the idea to do the update for many years but finally decided to bite the bullet. There are many videos online on how to purchase the parts necessary, or you can just buy the Lincoln kit for $188 at Home Depot. I was able to purchase the parts for $60. The HD kit comes with a .025/.030 liner and a 2lb roll of welding wire, so it has a couple more things than what I bought, but I intend to buy a 10lb roll of .030 wire, and I'm not swapping out the .035 liner in my welder, as I heard I can use my liner with .030 wire. I also got 10 .030 tips and two nozzles, whereas the HD kit only comes with two tips and one nozzle. All in all, I think it's a lot better choice to buy the parts individually.

Here are the parts I bought:
