I trained as a mechanic for 3 years from leaving school but a argument saw me out of that job. So hating the idea of having a boss again (controling bastards He was any way)I work for my self now doing mechanics.

yes. The thing is that since i live in Norway it would cost alot to ship it to you. I suggest that you contact a suzuki dealership i wales. Right now i have werry few spareparts for swift. I have plans to take a swift apart and sell it part by part. What was the thing you needed? slam pannel and cross members? What is that?

Hi,

I'm a branch manager of import and export from/to Japan.
It sounds good but only me in my branch so I'm a slave/donkey..... you get the idea!
I used to be CAD/CAM engineer building press tools for Honda and Toyota.
I had access to CNC, Lathe, Milling machine, heat treatment, Mig/Tig/Arc/Gas weld and all of steel material as well as sheets of steel.

I can get most of above in Nissan now which is my main customer.
Due to current economic state, I'm not sure how long my branch will be kept open. I'm already on readuced hour and salary.

I hope 2010 is better year for Automotive industry.

Cheers
Atchi
