I’d always heard it was too complicated, too expensive, and only for professionals.

But I’m the kind of person who likes to know what’s going on under the hood. And while I was hesitating, the rust wasn’t waiting around.

So I took the plunge. And it wasn’t easy...

The information online is scattered, contradictory, and often written for people with a workshop equipped like a professional garage.

I ordered parts that didn’t fit, bought useless tools, welded the wrong way, stripped nuts…

After completely blowing my budget and wasting weekends I’d rather forget, I was finally behind the wheel of my grandfather’s car.

I never would have thought a car could evoke so many emotions.

In addition to the smiles from passersby on the road, I’m sure my grandfather is proud of the work I’ve done.

That’s why I wrote this book: to inspire you to get started!

And not because I got everything right, but precisely because I messed everything up once before I figured it out.
