I'm currently recommissioning a 70's Volkswagen, and some of the cooling tinware which surrounds the engine needs repairing or replacing.

I would rather repair than replace if possible, however I've never welded (would love to learn) and was thinking about buying a cheap gasless MIG welder and having a go.

However, the metal is very thin (around 0.7mm) and I understand this would be hard to weld.

Is there any method/equipment which would be best for a novice to attempt to weld steel this thin?

I've attached a picture of the type of damage I'd be looking to repair (ringed in red).
