i think my brother has a book from many moons ago when he was at college that covers all that, including welding.. but its about 2 inches thick. i'll see if i can get the name/author for you, might find a copy on ebeg !

I'm pretty sure that Haynes did a bodywork manual.

Covered small rust spots, through dents rightup to cutting out and wlding in panels etc.

Was pretty useful IIRC. The same one Toefur?

The greatest leveller of them all - the Carousel

Sounds good. Let us know the book names and authors. Anyone else got any other recommendations?
