Welcome to the Body Shop Section.

Thank you for looking in at my site, as you will see some of it is still in construction, taking shape, but please take a look around, the pics in Jeds Jobs may be of interest.

 

Hi Folks, I have finally got round to putting a web site together.
So here it is and here's a little about my self.


I started in the motor trade when I left school, spent 3 years at college doing motor vehicle (thats mechanics, spanners 2 any one else), after that, as that wasn't enough I went and spent another 3 years learning motor body repair and paint.

With all this knowledge I went and spent most of my time doing body work for different garages until in 1985 when I started my own body shop, which I would have to say took off rather well. This I ran for 12 years, and for the last 4 years I ran another business along side the bodyshop doing fibreglass bodies for kit car and hotrods, this went well until I lost the the workshop that I rented due to the owner retiring, and at this point I decided to go back working for some one else.

I have spent the last 8 years out of the trade, I went off to college again (this place looks formilia) but this time I chose to look at computers, tried to learn all I could about them, also did teaching qualifications and was offered a job working for the college teaching, yes you guessed it, IT.

During all this time I got a taste for 4x4's and ended up with 3 land rovers, taking part in some off roading. I got some jobs working on yanks and this developed a taste for the big American cars (hence owning a 56 Chevy). Over the years I have found that I can combine the two by having American 4x4's, but this wasn't enough for me and I now own three Chevy S10 Blazer 4x4, and was given a Suzuki sj410, and recently I went after another blazer on ebay, (but missed it). In addition to this I have now sold the Suzy and bought 2 Jeep Cherokee, one to off road and the other to repair and resell.


My first chevy above is now waiting for suspension mods, this will make it more capable off road.
