Sydney Car Modidfiers
71-BEETLE-SEDAN - April 21st, 2010 at 07:26 PM

Okay, so im nearly finished year 12 and in like six months time i wanna move into the city for 6-7 months.

Im looking into jobs i could do that id enjoy and that would help me in the long run.

So far ive thought about Queen Street Racing and the like but i dont think they would hire someone for a short period of time. I wanna get into the car modifing scene sorta, get a feel for different techniques and stuff.

I also like vws and working on motors etc. And for the last 6 years ive worked in a metal fabrication and erection place all over the state. I know how to weld etc, have my own helmet and stuff like that.

So what im after is some ideas about where to work or what areas to look into, i think ill be based llike in the inner city if that narows it down. Preferably something to do with vws but anything will really do.
