Only person I trust to leave my Mopar with!

I would strongly recommend any of the Midlands guys (or those further afield) , to drop down and see him, no BS just straight talking yank fan. Nice guy as well, dropped down yesterday to discuss the next workload I require without notice.......took time out to talk through stuff and have a general chat!

No affiliation, no commission here, I just a appreciate good, skilled, genuine people.

Good luck with the new venture Jim! :thumbright:

Nice one Jim. Hope it all goes well for you. That labour rate sounds like an excellent deal.

Good luck with it Jim, hope all goes well for you, that's a cheap hourly rate you charge, you should be run off your feet at that price. :thumbright:

Nice one Jim! Increasingly it seems the people that own old cars have no idea or desire to learn how to fix them, I don't think you'll be short of work.
