well this guy, hes got some good stuff like hes got over 10 spray guns lol, hes main problem is time, and the fact hes not always sober when working so some things have to be redone, but like hes got 2 sheds to do all of his work in and a pretty decent backyard to store a couple of old american classics, but yeah for the price he ends up charging you wouldnt go to a proffessional again. i dont think he does modern cars though, like post 1990

Never underestimate back yeardie most of the time their better then their payed counterparts they only dont have the facilitys they do.

They are ok for older cars and particular marques but they are a dying breed. If you want to stay in business you need to be able to service Falcons and Commodores or be a specialist in great demand. In the first case it means you need to keep up with the latest technology which costs a lot in time and equiptment.

well this friend of my mums is lucky he knows alot of people with classic american cars that are always in need of restoring, and if he hasnt got one of their cars to work on hes usually working on one of his own

he himself has had a fair few american cars as well, a 65 el camino, 67 odls 4-4-2, 60 something pontiac GTO convertible, 32 steel body chev roadster. the 4-4-2 he actually pulled to bits a few years ago just for the hell of it and now hes trying to get it back on the road (inbetween his and other people projects) so he can sell it. one of the latest projects he got was a datsun 1200 couple with a 16v nissan motor in it and one of his friends has a turbo motor he can stick in it. right now its just in his shed with the panel between the bonnet and windscreen taken off to get at all the rust underneath )he had to unpick all the welds)
