Car restoration courses

[Muzzman]

I'm looking into college evening classes in the London/Essex area, has anyone done one, if so was it worthwhile?

I didn't know there were any lol. I this were America you could find a course for practically anything. But we're not

You learn something new every day 

 

Excellent idea. Could end up quite expensive if you go for a lot of different courses, but would be worth it.

If love to do something like this but just can't get regular time off work to attend a weekly course.

I'm looking at the Colchester Institute, North East London College and one other in Barnet, evenings 6.30 - 9pm, only £300 for 6 months of training at the colleges.

 

Seeing I have no current practical car skills it's the easiest way to get a head start

sounds like a bargain to me - practical experience & confidence for £300. No brainer!

Great idea!

I did Vehicle Body Repair at college, hoping it would be more resto type stuff, judging by the mk1 cortina we had in and the mk1 fez.....but all ive done on the cortina is slap more and more filler on it  

Just sort of glad it isnt mine  



I applied for Mechanics next year too, but doubt we will have much old stuff in, will be all computers
