Good work !
You're not far from me, do you do bodywork as a hobby ?
I have a few small issues but would never tackle a welder or spray gun, i could help you with detailing / products in exchange if you wanted to do some kind of like for like labour exchange ?
I always remember being sent as a 19 yr old to Sheffield to collect two cars with the other valeter who happened to be my ex-school friend so we were out for a laugh as you are at that age, we picked up a Golf Gti and a Jetta Gti both 8valvers in tornado, i had mine off the 120mph speedo in the outside lane as he flashed me out of the way and then cruised past me with 135 mph showing on his 140 speedo , we had to pull over & swap cars half way home and that Jetta was defo faster than that Golf on the day, an old pipesmoker ended up buying the Jetta to tow his caravan around so it was perhaps it's last proper workout !
