Hello to you from germany

[DieselWeasel]

Hi!

My name is Jan. I'm from south-eastern germany, the black forest region. I work in a classic car garage, we do mostly mercedes and porsche plus air cooled vws (mostly the busses/vans). I sort of slipped into the role of being our "panel guy", not planing to become it. Since we need to deal a lot with rust, I'm having a lot of work.

The thing is; it used to be easy to get repair panels. But it's starting to get bad, both in availability & quality. I'm not a trained panel beater. So far it was simply not necessary to recreate complex panels. But I want to step up my game, that's why I joined here. The time will come where I just have to recreate panels. I want to learn, I want to progress. I want to get better at what I'm doing. With the basic tools I got (welder, tin snips & a hammer).

I'm interested in building an eglish wheel and a pullmax style machine.

So basically - I've come here to seek inspiration, to learn. And sometime give back! I don't take it for granted when people share theyr knowledge & wisdom with others they don't even know. I'm already thankful this place exists!

Kind regards,
Jan
