Thanks for the welcome everyone.
I have ordered a couple of books off ebay and will watch the videos on youtube.
Davids dvd sounds ideal as it seems to be aimed at using basic hand tools rather than expensive wheels and power hammers etc.
I have been searching everywhere and im 99.9% sure that there isn't a course within a 50 mile radius of me. I dont mind travelling further but it would have to be a condensed short course over a few days or a week. That way I could stay nearby in a b&b for the duration rather than commuting every day.
I have even considered contacting local body shops and seeing if they would be prepared to teach me if I offered a free days labour every week for the chance to learn, but most body shops seem to be accident repair centres that just replace panels rather than repair or make them.
if anyone has any advice on my best route to go I would appreciate it.
For now I will just try and learn myself the basics and practice, but I know what may take me a week to learn myself could probably be picked up in a few hours being shown by someone experienced.
David I could be very interested in your classes. Could you please let me know more details if they do go ahead.
If anyone knows someone in the west midlands area who could be interested in having some help in exchange for showing me the ropes please let me know.
Many thanks andy.
