I like 'MG midget and austin healey sprite restoration' by Jim Tyler. Also How
to restore your collector car (brownell) is a really good general guide and has
a lot of sheetmetal stuff. I think you can learn the mig just fine with some
scrap but my suggestions would be:
get one with a tank rather than flux on the line, get one with enough power
(110-130a rather than 85 or so) and keep in mind that working with the
old/painty/rusty steel on your back is really different than clean new scraps
in a vise.
