MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Welding in the Midlands

Hi all
I have a spare RWA shell sitting on the drive that needs new A posts, outer sills and rear bottom wings, my usual guy cannot do it until Sept and I would like to get cracking before then.
Any recomendations would be welcome, I dont mind if someone comes to me or I take it to them.

I realy need to start welding myself, its one thing I have never mastered.

Blimey, Rob, that looks remarkably good!
Is it Citron or Limeflower?

I'd be tempted to have a go at it, but my poor old MGB has been promised that it will back on the road before summer!

Funny that Dave, I could not stand the colour when I bought it but evrey time I look at it I sort of warm to it just a little bit more...

Just learn ow to weld! All you need is a cheap MIG, a bottle of CO2 gas and a reactive mask. And you then get the added warm fuzzy feeling of having done it all yourself. Ok, it takes a little bit of practice, but once you're up and running it saves so much money and gives you greater confidence to get stuck in.

Rob you could try Graham Goodall (masc member) from Redditch on 01527 65120 - He restores Healey 3000's and has a midget in the workshop now - Honourable guy whom I navigated for on the London - Sydney Classic Marathon in 1993 in his rally Healey
