About the Author
Martin Thaddeus was born in Crawley in 1959, one of nine children. On leaving art college, Martin worked as a graphic artist to a local paper, but surgery to his right wrist prompted a change of direction, and he retrained in panel-beating. After 10 years in crash repair and salvage, Martin chose to specialise in classic restoration, which appealed more to his creative nature. Customers have always been welcome in Martin's workshop, and many have gotten their hands dirty under his watchful eye. Married for 23 years and with three grown up children, Martin recently lost a kidney, while his wife Elaine gained one!

The bees knees
Fantastic - that's the only word to describe this book. If you are restoring an old vehicle and want to tackle bodywork/structural problems yourself then this is the book for you, providing you are willing to invest in the necessary tools (which are covered in the book). The text is easy to read, detailed and comprehensive. The book has loads of illustrations which support the text. In fact, the illustrations are so good you can use them by themselves - a picture says a thousand words! Use of tools is covered as well - the only thing missing is instruction on welding/brazing but you can find this in a another book.
