Hi ,

I'm located near Trier in Germany and have been interested in old car restoration since the seventies.

My main interest is metal shaping. I've been on several courses in the UK and USA and am interested in learning more.

I'm currently building a small E-wheel based on the John Glover design.

Has anyone got John Glover videos for sale ?

Mike

Hi Nico,

Good to hear from you again.

I left Belgium in 2010 and moved to Germany. The move was due to my wife's new job. We are sorry to leave Belgium after 17 happy years.

I still have the 1952 Rolls - Royce. Sadly its still unfinished.

I've had mega problems with the roof and tried many times to sort it out without success. But with each attempt I learned more!

Right now I'm working on a new roof panel. Its a large low crown panel and I could use extra long arms!

When we last met I think you were working on a Citroen convertible ? maybe Chapron?. How did that work out?

Regards,


Mike
