About Michael
I had the privilege of growing up on a farm. This gave me the opportunity to explore and discover how much I love to work with cars. This was from the early age of eight years old!
My initial training was a panelbeater and after my apprenticeship I worked as a maintenance fitter in the outback of Western Australia in Gold and nickel mines.
I carried on my career in various guises as a welder from TIG, MIG and OXY to programming robots to weld hardface. That includes solid wire and flux core wire.
I also worked at Ford manufacturing in Geelong, Australia and spent many years as a toolmaker.
I now have the opportunity to work on what I really love - that is detailed restoration on cars. The last few years I have fully renovated houses from restumping to total kitchen bathroom fitouts. These are the things I really love and now I am doing them full time. I am living the dream! It takes more than… just a few dollars!

Hard to concentrate on the project Beetle paint when the Motorbikes will be no longer. The Honda VF1000FE 1984 needs a couple of parts still...Starter clutch and new or second hand pickup coils then we can see if its going to be a reliable bike. #honda #vf1000fe #beetlerespray#beetle#bug

so cute
Is this a common problem in the UK?
love the time lapse footage
haaa barn door
what a difference
cheers
we don't watch TV here, its a waste of time
it's a lattaaaaye. hahaaa
How exciting. The paint' has finished.
7 panels in the house need the outside painting eg. under the guards inside the doors and bonnet are sprayed.
PPE officer here. Bake ala-natural. What do you see when it flashes off?
@SandraMcRitchie-wh8vc flash is an expression thats its like almost like touch dry so then you can apply the next coat without having runs in the paint
Answer: because of dust from concrete garage. Nibs in the new paint need to be removed
@sandramcritchie i'll have to study how you do it. time for study
sheeps oil hahhaaaa How long is too long for the masking tape to stay on?
@SandraMcRitchie 4-5 weeks in one spot. it was a tricky area so i left it on . now it doesn't want to come off. masking tape comes off normally the next day. its there so we don't over spray but we don't want it to cure with the paint too much.
Can't wait to see the car when it comes back from the upholsterer Skip
@chocolatefreckle me too but first marry the body to the chassis choco.
Minties, MInties, Minties, looking Minties Dude !
@aaronhines3317 body goes on today . what do i look out for? my quality control man. i need to get it right
Hey folks I just changed the thumbnail for the better. see the progress,....
An episode not to be missed Skip. Let's hope the new thumbnail will help it fly!
@@chocolatefreckle i just thought had used that thumbnail previously thats all
Super VID!
@samuelmcritchie2914 It said translate , where are you from? down under
Skip done good on the painting there !
@aaronhines3317 trying my hardest bud, can't wait to have the paint finished, so I can move onto the assembly
MINTIES!
@chocolatefreckle I love minties, need some now.
@@justafewdollars6726 love a chewy mintie! They are delicious
Minties are scary. I knew a nurse who was losing his teeth because he ate loads and loads of them. "going to the dentist tomorrow" while chopping another one.
@@SandraMcRitchie-wh8vc havent had one for aleast 5 years. Its an expression that job looks great. i forgot all about those lollies haha
@@SandraMcRitchie-wh8vc also you can't buy minties here main stream. the word minties is actually from mint just an extended version. Cath and myself we actually don't eat lollies or chocolate
love the timelapse
I rate the doors 10 out of 10 Skip
@chocolatefreckle look closer and you'll go dizzy Choco
Loved the fake intro, looking surprised hah
nothing fake my friend haha @aaronhines3317
Getting more creative love it!!
Onwards and upwards my friends cheers Sammy @samuelmcritchie2914
Terry's Orange is definitely my favourite fruit too Skip!
well, only 2 pieces left, back to the shop again i suppose. haha
Great Vid summer is coming and the car will be ready for it
we will be cruising the roads motorways freeways byways etc haha
And the answer is yes, it is tricky. I like the realism 7/10. 😊
My goal is 7/10 will be painted in the next 2 weeks latest... hopefully. @SandraMcRitchie-wh8vc
It is good to see you make the most of it. Still doing a great job in your concrete garage

@@TipTopMotors. When the next local show for cars in the area?
Killing it JAFD! Love the detail
The beetle looks good! It just needs a few more dances to get across the line 😎
Coup of tea anyone?
The challenges. Maybe wear a mask when you sandblasting too....
Wouldn't it be great to work on a Delahaye
@chocolatefreckle its would be a dream to drive actually
typo... Chocolate person @chocolatefreckle it would be a dream to drive actually
Love the hedgehog Skip
