Projects
In my spare time I enjoy working on and modifying my own vehicles as well as helping friends with their cars. I currently own a Subaru Legacy project car which I have spent a significant amount of time learning about and working on. I am in the process of carrying out an engine swap to improve performance, which has helped me develop practical mechanical knowledge and problem-solving skills.
I am very passionate about cars, motorbikes, and music. When I’m not working on vehicles, I often spend time teaching myself songs on the guitar.
