In my spare time, if it’s not a Pantone swatch book in my hand it's a spanner.
Ever since I worked at Halfords before stepping into the creative industry, being a mechanic was what I wanted to be. It wasn't until I started to notice the poorly designed POS and packaging that I began to think I could do better. 3 months later I enrolled at college. However, the love of taking things apart and putting them back together again never stopped.
I recently rebuilt a 60s bug (top image): new engine, new gearbox, spray job, lowered on new wheels, etc. I’ve entered various shows with the bug over the years, including Santa Pod. I’m currently now spraying and working on a Caddy (below image) ready for next summer.
However, I do have one rule... It has to be a VW. The older, the better!
