TIC wing repairs

I recommend any UK leisters who fancy "having a go " to try their local
technical college to see if any evening classes in welding are available .
Several years ago I enrolled at Blackpool Technical college for such a
course where instruction was given in gas, mug and tag welding . Course
members were encouraged to take along parts from their car to be repaired
under the the supervision of the tutor. I took one of the rear wings
(fenders) from my TIC in pretty bad shape with most of the beaded edge
corroded away . but after five or six 2 hour sessions came out with a
nicely restored article and all the skills and knowledge to give me enough
confidence to tackle the other 3. Incidentally the same college ran a course
in car body repairs and spray painting on the same evening .
