Hi all, as you may know I run Smart Performance in Tamworth, Staffs. A mini engine builder if you didn't know.

I know its summer hols now for most poeple so was just offering for someone, or a couple of people to come and do some work experience at our unit.

Will pay travel expenses and do the odd job on your mini if you need it

We do all machining in house so you can learn a fair bit.

Just wondering, let me know if anyone interested

Chris @ Smart Performance

Well to start with it will be things like stripping engines.. cleaning, painting parts.

But if your good at making tea and know your right from your left then move you on to things like skimming heads, basic porting, rebuilding stuff.

You never know if you got the knack then you might be building a fire breathing 1380 supercharged monster.
