The Man Behind the Build

I'm Thomas Bell, a 32-year-old car enthusiast from Telford. Married for two years to my amazing wife, I've been chasing a dream for years: building my own Max Power-inspired car. My day job involves working for a flooring company that manufactures outdoor and indoor mats worldwide. However, my true passion lies in building both model cars and real cars. I've owned my 2004 Peugeot 206 for five years, and I plan to keep working on it for many more.

Early Inspirations

From a young age, I've been fascinated by modified cars. I collected magazines and spent hours dreaming of owning a modified car. Now, I'm turning those dreams into reality by working on my own car and learning as I go. My inspiration comes from within, and I've faced both positive and negative comments along the way. The negative feedback has only made me stronger and more determined to achieve my goals. Everyone has inspiration inside of them; you just have to find it and push it forward.

The Joy of Owning a Modified Car

Driving my modified Peugeot 206 feels like heaven. It's loud, and it gives me a sense of freedom and escape. My car is unique because of its color and the fact that you don't see many like it anymore. People look at it and think, "Wow!"—and that's what makes me smile.

The Process: Learning by Doing

I did all the work myself, learning from videos and making mistakes along the way. It's been challenging, but every mistake has been a learning opportunity. The satisfaction of seeing my vision come to life makes it all worth it.

Future Plans
