Very tempting. Love working on cars but I'm guessing the only downside would be the sallary :happy:

haha ye would be a great chance for someone starting out/living @ home etc.

I doubt apprentice wages would even cover my rent a month lol

well sparkies don't get any more than most trades as apprentices, well at least here they don't, nor do they have a higher rate of pay for adult apprentices unlike nearly every other trade.

I'm surprised that a shop like Sabbadin would even have to advertise on a forum, would have thought they would get dozens of people dropping off resumes etc.

Pretty much your entire first sentence is incorrect :D

well, if you were looking for an apprentice for a speciality workshop (like Sabbadin is), why not try and pick-up one that already knows their way around the majority of cars that are worked on? All credit to them as well for coming on here to let people know, i'm sure the spot will be filled easily but if it can get to an import enthusiast who's already familiar with the cars, it's a win win really.

dezz: got a mate who's a sparky apprentice at 24, and he gets paid junior wages. Could be wrong, but that's up to him to chase up if it is! pretty damn lucrative as a tradesman though!

true that SS8_Gohan, hope one of our fellow forumers gets the job :cool:

Mature age is 25 now...Used to be 21 but they changed it as it was hurting some peoples chances of being hired apparently

haha man.. i don't know of a single apprentice or trainee around here who gets paid above award rates apart from when my mate was doing his traineeship directly through Cummins. Purely because there are 50+ applicants for every one of these jobs

EBA rates are the only payment method I'd chose as an electrician. My last two jobs I was getting payed above award (which still wasn't a good pay mind you), however ever since moving to my current company, I'm raking in the dollars. Plus you get perks such as a 36 hour week :)

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      This sounds like me. And then why I leave shit that I had previously hobbled together broken. Lately I've changed strategies to "If I don't want to justify the money on decent stuff, I'm not going to justify hobbling it together". I'm still for DIY, but DIY it properly is more my thing. However, I am terrible on not setting up backups still... Which reminds me, I need to go backup some of my work VM machines... Oh, it's also why I've become a lover of building things into Docker Containers... Then I just need a machine that can run docker, and bam, that specific system is up and running, on the specific versions of everything I need for it to run (In the event a change in required software version breaks something else). Also, these days, my steep learning curves are spent with work related stuff, and on very varied projects, that my want to do other random projects like build a dashboard for my own car has dwindled away to "I just want the car running", which is my current PITA, as I'm getting the Landcruiser usable again, and it has just been non-stop the past 6 to 8 weeks of buying parts, and working on it. Oh, and tools that are meant to be fit for purpose... And they break, because 25 year old 4WD decides it's stronger... But by the time I have it ready to roll back out the drive way, nearly all the stuff in it will have been touched and serviced, so the damn thing better give me NO FREAKING ISSUES, for at least the next 50,000KMs! Just redone whole front of the motor, and resealed the up top stuff, replaced a bunch of things getting perished, new timing belt done, water pump, lower timing cover (Toyota diesel engine runs timing GEARS for the bottom half the motor, and a timing belt from halfway up to the top), new harmonic balancer, fix up the alternator, new thermostat, full swivel hub rebuild, new bearings and seals front and back, steering box rebuild, new battery, and today, it turns out a rear shock has let go, so four new shocks are about to go on order, and that will leave me with after the next run of work, to see if I need to order just a brake caliper re-seal, or if I'll need new pistons in them too. Oh, and I'll finish welding in the new floor sheet metal shortly too. Presently I just want it finished already... But once all the above is done, I still need to fully service diffs, gearbox, transfer, and motor. Then flush and bleed the clutch, and flush and bleed the brakes. But enough about our waffle, back to Duncan's heat problems... I think for Duncan he just gets a thermoswitch, and a manual switch to run some water misters. Thermo so it's only on above certain temps, and the manual switch so it can be turned off even if it is above certain temperatures. IE, switch on for "I'm now on track", then it doesn't need any "smart" computers that might try and do things wrong. And switch the thing off completely on the cool down lap, so when he stops in pits, there's not even a possibility of it dripping any water out to get him in trouble.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      So I ran into the same problem. I got stuck in the cycle of again of putting putty sanding it, putting putty sanding it, because of a low spot. And notice my block is not completely flat with the panel, even though it's a long block. My panel is slightly curved. Is this an issue? Do I need something that matches the door perfectly, or no?    I do have the smaller flexible block that covers the width of the repair just not the length, I was experimenting with it again to but seems to be the same issue
