Well I have just completed my three day induction to my new college, mainly covering health and safety, but we got a couple of sessions in the workshop. And the first vehicle i go to work on was a suzuki jimny, wich i thort was prity cool, and they are owned by the college (they have 2) so i stand a fair chance of getting use to the ins and outs of the jimny, they also have a couple of vitara, but no SJ's :cry:

Finaly started back at college, not done alot, learnt about electrics, but today we got to strip and re-build engines. Have to say it was a lot easier than i thought it would be. May even strip own and rebuild my spare/old engine! lol

Congrats on taking the plunge. I have to look into studying further, but I have no idea what to do.

A good welding course might be worth doing.

Because me and my mate that is on this course, are abit older than the rest of the class we tend to just get our head down and get on with it, we are getting ahead, so the tutor sed he would try and get us in the fabrication workshops to teach us abit about welding. I can already weld to a standard, just not the standard that i would like to put my life on :lol:
