Default Aussie panel beater

Hi everyone my name's Pat I'm a 50 yo autobody repairer in Brisbane, I started my involvement with panel shops at 13 and was a apprentice panel beater at 15 got my painters ticket at 27 left that shop a year later and worked in a mod shop for a couple of years before I went and worked for a four man workshop at Moorooka ,bought the place when then boss retired ten years later didn't replace staff as the left and for the last ten years I've been a one man show that specialises in late model ex rentals for car yards so as you can imagine there's more repair than replacement.
I do some resto but they get a bit taxing for a one man show old knees don't bend like they used to
unfortunately photos were a pain to take in the 80's and 90's so I don't have many photo's but I'll make the effort to scan the few I have and post them for posterity
Thanks for reading
