About the Author

Martin Thaddeus was born in Crawley, England, in 1959, one of nine children.

After 10 years in crash repair and salvage, Martin chose to specialize in classic restoration which appealed to his creative nature. Customers have always been welcome in Martins workshop and many have got their hands dirty under his watchful eye.
