[clarkey31]

I have just been on a week english wheeling course at mph motor panels down in cornwall, and have to say it is well worth the money for any one looking at getting in to wheeling it is something i have never done and with a week of tuition of Geoff i was make some very complex shapes the make complete bodys for lotus 11 and E type jags out aluminum..

Here is a few pick of the stuff i was doing

Nik the cost is on MPH motor panels website, i think it is about £650. It's a lot cheaper than the Contour Autocraft and is one on one tuition which I thought would be best. I booked a wooden cabin called Garden Cabin in a place called St Ive (not St Ives) and is £300 for the week, not fancy but will be fine I reckon and there is a pub nearby.

There is a premier inn near liskard, it is in the same town as the company that runs the course.
