Automotive Bodywork and Rust Repair

Who has not encountered unsightly rust sometime in their lives? Many of the materials and processes described in this lavishly illustrated book are applicable outside of motor vehicle repair. But I purchased this book specifically for the descriptions of rust repair, although it goes much further and describes the processes involved in panel replacement with which few amateur home mechanics are likely to be involved. I have a large collection of books concerning automotive repair, many much more descriptive than this one. However, I was attracted to this book because it was relatively thin and beautifully illustrated. It was presumably compiled for American consumption judging by the narrative and spelling but this should not deter UK readers.

This book has everything but enough examples. All topics you'd wish for are addressed, but you'd wish there were more step by step examples of how to go about a certain type of damage. Although that is the thing to learn in practise, there's alway hunger for more. E.g.: An accompanying dvd would make it perfect. Before visiting a local workshop to practise or start working on a job, this book you definitely should study properly first.

Clearly written by an obvious expert. Really good.
