Default Greetings From Belgium

Hello everybody,

I am Ruben Bauwens, i'm 23years old and was born in and arround cars.
The last few years i have been restoring cars for myself and others.

After graduating in August 2009 I started working together with my brother in law in construction(i am (also) electrician).
Already a few months ago I decided to stop working there and start my own company. unfortunately due to my brother in law's injury i have worked another 4months to get all the work done.
It might be (too) ambitious at first sight but it is all I want in my life...

A good friend of mine is also a car restorer from Holland and has already 2projects for me.(next to some smaller projects i already had).

I do everything Mechanical, electrical and hydraulics but sheetmetalwork is what really "drives" me.

Current projects i have running:
-Citroën BX 16v: welding and painting (new front and rear panel, trunkfloor, rear fenders,...)
-Citroën DS: Good healty car, needs bodywork and new sills, trunk, ....
-Opel Kadett B LS Coupe: Sills, fenderbottom pieces, firewall, bodywork,... Will be fitted with a 2.0 16v XE (redtop) enging and 5speed gearbox
-Ford Capri1, Bodywork and paint, REALLY healthy one.

As soon as I got the company running i will update pictures and everything.

I hope to be able to learn alot here(I'm already reading for about a year) and that all my questions might be answered!

I have got the DVD from David Gardiner and think it's an absolute masterwork, thank you David!

Greetings from Belgium!

Ruben Bauwens
