Made my day.....

[SebringRS]

Went for my college interview today, and whilst looking through some of my work the guy who was interviewing me noticed a mk1 cortina in some of my art work and photoshop stuff

 

He said, "might have a little surprise for you....."

 

 

Which after this, we went down to have a look round the body shop too see where i'd be working, and what do i see before me as i walked in the door, a mk1 cortina

 

 

Apparently, the story goes, its one of the students parents car, who before it was at Coventry College, it had been to have a full restoration somewhere, who clearly didnt have a clue about classic cars or restoration for that matter I mean, im not even a proper body repair bloke yet, but even i could see that wasn't how you weld.

 

I mean it was rubbish, welds looked liked they'd been done by 2 year olds, and they'd filled in the join between the wing and scuttle panel, would be a good idea, if it was done properly

 

 

 

But anywho, long story short, its being done as a favour by the college,hopefully will look amazing once its done, if it gets finished when im there next year, ill get some pics

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, and i got the place in college!!!!!

Sounds the best way, you only pay for the parts, and your learning at the same time
