Hi, my name is Andre Jonck. I live in Gauteng (Kempton Park) South Africa. I qualified as a Tool and jig maker in 1980 but soon moved to a management position. I never lost my appreciation for good craftsmanship though . I have a passion for old cars (mostly British) and own a 1964 Austin Healey Sprite, a 1963 Triumph Spitfire and a 1957 Morris Minor, the last 2 requiring full body restoration. As I am in semi retirement I would like to learn metal shaping skills in order to do the body restorations myself.

Hello Andre

You have come to the right place, hope you enjoy it. You should speak to Manny, he is in your neck of the woods and has helped me finding stuff I needed.
