Thanks for the advice.
I went out to amazon.com and ordered the Brownell book. However neither amazon
nor barnes/noble had a copy of the the Tyler book.
Does anyone have a copy of MG Midget and Austin Healey Sprite Restoration by
Tyler that they would like to sell this ambitious middle aged man? =)
Thx again!
Will

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.
