I would not recommend flux core wire for sheet metal work. The machine I have (A Lincoln Handy-Mig - paid about $350 for it) specifies different polarities for MIG and flux core welding, and the setup for flux core increases penetration, which tends to blow holes in sheet metal. Also, you have the flux to clean off after you're done welding.

If your going to get a dual setup (MIG/Flux core) wire feed, bite the bullet and get a bottle of C02 (cheaper than argon, and works reasonably well). You'll be happy you did. Save the flux core wire for thicker stuff you'll eventually wind up welding.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
