Congratulations Graham, on both your dream job and the health improvement. That's a real win, win scenario. Now you have snagged the Armour gig, it really is time for that "Sheetmetal is for Sissies" tee shirt! Well done mate, all the best and we will look out for you when my sons (29 & 31) and I, hopefully visit next year.

I found your channel through the M3 restoration, I saw you obviously did other things but I could tell the tank restoration had really taken it's hold on you and it was so much fun to see. I couldn't be happier to see that your efforts have been rewarded! Congratulations dude, the Aus Armor Museum is top notch, definitely one of the best tank museums to get a job at!

Congrats! Thanks for all your hard work showing us laymen how to do proper rust repair. I'm glad you are keeping up all the old videos. I always loved old military vehicles (especially tanks) myself, so I enjoyed following along with your journey and progress on your Stewart. Thanks again, and good luck in this new chapter of your life! You do look a lot healthier and seem very happy! So cheers to you.

Congrats on the new job, well deserved. Your videos assisted me restoring my Datsun 1600 which is now on the road, rust free and painted thanks to motorvation and clever tips which came from you and Mr Anderson. At this stage I never want to restore another car but I'm sure I will down the track as I enjoyed it, something I reckon will come back to you when you're not doing it as a day job. Lots of people can buy things but few are crazy enough to do it themselves, the feeling of driving a car you've restored to an event/show is something special. Hope one day to pop into the museum and fingers crossed you post some vids in the future.

Congratulations! I subscribed a while ago and have dipped in far too infrequently, but I've always enjoyed your content and your sense of humour. You do look much happier and the lines of care have gone from your face, which is fantastic! All the best for your new adventure. You've left a legacy of de-mystification of how cars are put together, and have made structural repairs look at least possible, if not easy ha ha! And finally I take my hat off to you for actually putting up your content and keeping going. (...says one with nothing uploaded on YT) Putting yourself in front of people and telling them things is HARD! Fantastic work, and again, all the best! (I honestly don't know why I've just said all this. I don't know you at all personally, but you've put YOU up here on this channel and have been authentic with your audience and I just feel like I have to say it. Isn't life strange sometimes??)

Hey graham, I have been following your work since before your KZbin channel, back in the old Ford Forums days. You & I believe your brother both posted on there regularly. I will miss the coupe content for sure, but life sends us in different directions sometimes & by the sounds of it this will be a big, but positive change for you & your family. Your skill & ability to explain restoration work in your presentations is very rare in the online world. wish you all the best in your new job & hope to see you in person one day.

Well done mate. All the best for your new life. What a journey! I was in the rust game for 10 years and got out like just about everyone else I knew in the industry at the time. Best part was I was working with my dad for 10 years. 25 years later I've started restoring some of my own, but just for me. Enjoyable as a hobby. Much different if you're trying to make a living out of it. Godspeed on your new adventure.
