Not really bike related, but... theres an old fella by mine who drives a lovely split screen moggie minor (bought it new!! ), and as I have a 60's beetle and a 70's camper we got chatting about old cars.... Turns out this guy has a decent MIG welder and decent compressor/spray gear... which he's offered me free access to any time I want (he lives just round the corner from me) but I haven no idea how to use it!! I asked him if he'd mind teaching me how to weld / spray, but to his credit his response was 'no lad, far too busy!!!' - he has too many hobbies (hope I'm like this at his age!!!).
So...I've tried the local college for welding 'evening classes' but no joy, and similarly nothing doing for paint spraying, although I have another college or two yet to try. I don't want to do this as a career, but with two old cars (and a third on the way if I can sneak it past Emma ) it'd be great to be able to weld to MOT standard ,and get a passable finish on paint. Any suggestions on where else to look for tuition?
(Liverpool area if that helps).
Cheers,
Dave.
