He restores cars for a living in Germany. He makes replacement parts, his daily driver is a Tg500 replica that has a Trabant 601 powerplant.  Take a tour of his shop with these two videos. (had to break the 30 min show into 2 pieces for YouTube)

Note to non-German audience: the video is from German television. It is all German, there are no subtitles, nor is there an “English” version, so don’t ask. Just watch and enjoy.

That alone is very nice indeed but Nick also restores Messerschmitts for people in the UK (he is British after all…)
He has a website for his Messerschmitt Interiors (he is also the one that sells them on eBay in case you were wondering) and now he has a nice little website advertising his Messerschmitt Restoration Services.

Here's Nick. He is eating at the moment but he would rather be working on your Messerschmitt, so won't you visit his website and see what he is up to?

ah, that's better, back to work. not sure what he is doing maybe you should check his website out?
