I have been working on a van, but wanted to learn how to do things the proper way. John is a good teacher and the process of joining was really easy.
The classes are one evening a week, theres no pressure and it doesn't affect your daily work. If you are looking to gain a skill and qualification and meet different exciting people then why not sign up.
I have a lot of project cars and I want to do the work myself. John is really laid back and he is easy to talk to. He is happy to help and give advice for my projects.
Cars aren't my day job, but it is an interest of both me and my dad, so autobody repairs maybe something that we look into in the futture.
