hey bud, where abouts are you from?

I started my apprenticeship with Ford - Bayford. I have school payed for and is pretty much the most technically advanced schooling. Getting to work at the Campbellfield ford school working on brand new engines, Gearboxes etc. On my 3rd year now, and im currently doing 3rd year schooling, Qualified Tech training, Advanced diagnostics and just starting my EFI Tuning.

We are always looking for people with a good head on their shoulders to work, Its not really fun at the start, just services etc. Its nothing like a performance workshop, you dont "build" engines and stuff. More diagnostics, remove refit, and repair. Alot of the guys who come and "claim" they love cars and cars are their life, they show no interest or anything towards the job. If you show your interest to gain all you can in mechanics you will get far :thumbsup: trust me.

Cheers, Phill

Dont bother signing up with anyone...

Just send your resume out to everywhere you would be keen on working.

I guarantee you will get more then a dozen phone calls for interviews etc.

Try BMW in the city, ford essendon, sunbury holden, mitsubishi essendon. They are all taking on apprentices.

I sent out approx 40-50 resumes when i was looking for one and had the phone ringing non stop.

who do you thinks employs you? you automatically get signed up with apprenticeships plus or something along those lines, benefits are great. 800 dollar tfyt voucher, 500 bucks after every year you do your apprenticeship. No one these days are employed through the company itself. Ford is my host employer and app plus is my base employer. Thats how it works.

I'm gonna agree with Phill here, being with a group training company is good :)

I'm currently employed by MEGT and work for Zagame Citroen in West Melbourne, I've been with MEGT for about over a year now, they looked after me while I was doing VCAL in year 11 and now my apprenticeship. Get your TFYT after 3 months in.. and if you are eligible can get up to about $2000 over 2 years of incentives. Never had any major dramas. Pay on time every week and super paid every week. And it really makes finding a job easier.

Good luck with it mate :thanks:

even if you have a fall out with ur employer, you can get put into another workplace very quick with a group training..

i cant c how bad it can b? tools payed for, everything on time every time. 1 month holidays a year. 500 bucks in your pocket tax free every chrissy.

Only needa do that for 4 years thru your apprenticeship and your set.

I finished my year 12, passed and wrote up a decent resume. I then applied for every mechanic apprenticship position available and went to all the interviews in a suit. Within a few weeks i had been accepted by ALL and i ended up choosing BMW over Ford, Hodlen, Mazda etc.

The best decision i made was BMW, they offer not only a great fair and well payed apprenticship but many other extras such as BMW school which is located in Mulgrave. This BMW schooling has got to be by far the best training and easily put you ahead of all the other mechanics out there.

The training is not only amazing but the technology of BMW and other german cars is far beyond the reach of ford, holden, mazda etc.

My 2 cents, hope it helps :cool:

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
