Default START NEW JOB NEXT WEEK

As title and some of you know i was laid of last week so phoned my mate who own's an upholstery business who also like me loves his cars and has some stunning classic ford rs cars to see if he knew of any jobs going and to my shock he said that he had his mate who own's OSE ( old school engineering ) which is a garage that specialise in classic car restoration, rally car / track car preparation and one off cars asking about me and if i was working but he told him i had a job so he then told me to give him five mins and i will give him a ring and phone you back

he phoned back to say that the owner from OSE wanted me to go see him the next day so off i went and had a chat, he showed me what it was all about and i can say wow it is like something out of american hod rod series
awesome cars and builds every where and work shops are crazy with bead blasting area, spray booths, and great work shop areas

my job is a mechanic to strip cars down to shells for prep and place parts on raking system then after shell painted etc.. and parts powder coated and some parts replaced build them back up also work on normal cars and also i will be re trimming the interiors of cars and so on

this is my dream type job and just hope i get on with everyone and everything goes ok

Congratulations Lee.

Byron and the lads up at OSE are fantastic people to deal with and I cannot recommend them enough. They really do have an assortment of classic and sports cars up there, different selection every time I've been up. You won't go wrong there Lee, I'm a little jealous tell the truth

Well done.
