A little bit about myself

Hi, my name is Mya Van Den Berg, I'm 21 years old, and I am in my 3rd year as an apprentice mechanic  I am strudying through Toi Ohomai polytech. I've grown up around cars, and I have a great passion for them; ever since I've been able to walk, I have been out in the shed helping my mum and dad.  Over the last 2 years my dad and I have been restoring a 1959 Ford
Prefect panel van that is all original on the outside but a little different on the inside and it is now sporting a toyato 4k and 5 speed. I am now also the proud owner of a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda, which is in the final stages of completion . I have my
own transport to work, a full licence and as a bonus I can drive a manual! I also have my own toolbox full of awesome tools and work boots, so I'm ready. All the other info that you need to know, like my school contact details and references to see how awesome I am, is on the other page, so please give them a call. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon
