Not from there, there isn't an official body and paint workshop there (just some contractors who can do small work), either they want to be certified by MB (just a rumor) or just want someone technical that can diagnose.
I'm still not sure what I'll be I'm doing there tbh
My last day as an apprentice is the 30th. I have to report to the dealership on the 4th of September in JB. I just learned this yesterday.
Talk about short notice huh? 🫠
Hey but the journey hasn't started yet so why I'm already complaining.
Why am I getting so many ads for alcohol on FB? I don't drink lol
Also found out what the rattling noise in my car is from, it rattles every time I'm in D in a traffic light. Turns out it is the trunk, tried adjusting the lock and re-tourqe the hinges but nothing works, I guess new hinges are needed. Shit has been driving me crazy for months.
I guess he's also one of the few remaining Body and Paint specialist in the world, he was surprised to learn I'm the first Malaysian batch for the role.
Just an apprenticeship but a huge fan of the W126 would love to own a C126 someday.
Don't know about other workshops but in MB you're not allowed due risk of scratching customer's cars
Before this German guy from HQ came to the workshop, everyone said that I should be careful, follow the procedure and just not annoy him generally because he's very serious and has scolded people before
But now that I've met him, he seems alright, let me try out tools that I've never had the chance to use before, gave me tips and shortcuts I can take when repairing.
I think he's just serious with the staff and I'm an apprentice, technically I'm learning so I can get away with a lot of things.
Cool guy, a huge old Mercedes nerd too.
Cracks are a common sight in these parts.
Yep, I'm going to a few thrift stores around my area. Couldn't find my size in BNP groups or Carousell.
Does anyone knows where I can get cheap dress shoes? I don't feel like splurging way more than RM60 for something I'll wear only once.
Yep, some JDM models came with a turbo. Only 63 horsepowers and limited to 140kmph.
1 week of rest before working, gotta hunt for a room in JB and finish some things back home in Terengganu though 🫠
