  1. got somebody to do it he is a welding specialist used to work on my dads car everytime he got shunted and does a proper mint job and anybody who has seen my dads old red 1300e you would know wat i mean so he is doing the welding and then he sends me to this other guy for professional prep and painting just need the go ahead from insurance i guess £650
  2. cant come anymore some doris crashed into my arse
  3. hmmm i dunno i didnt even know that place existed just kinda fell upon it while i was trying to find my way out of the industrial park.
  4. i went to this place today just for a verbal quote and it turns out the bloke is currenlty building from scratch a escort mk1 rally car , hes done all the bodywork himself even made part of the rear panel coz he couldnt get one any wer hes doing a proper mint job of it its a rolling shell at the mo in gloss white with blue rs2000 stripes. he wants me to keep comeing back to see his progress,,,,,,,,, also turns oout that the guy is my girlfriends cousin its a small world!!!!
  5. went to get quotes today and they are all saying the car is a write off im determind not to let that happen!!!!! if i wer not to claim on insurance then i can be fixed if i supply the rear panel etc and one workshop offered me a quote of £350 to cut out old panel insert new panel and smooth and paint it ?????? is that a good price. also at a different garrage this guy said to me if my dads mate at the workshop fitted the new panel he would smooth down and paint the new panel for £150 i will be getting the price for cutting and fitting the new pannel tomorow morning. and if that works out similar to the above one then il go for this one probably coz my dad will be working with him and he can make sure it aint getting bodged. please please please dont write it off mr insurance company

  19. mine is lowered 2" all round and ever since i bought my peter lloyd system it doesent grind the bumps any more well designed i say! also 2" is probably the optimum lowereing height coz then you can have fun down the country lanes and not worry about smaking the bottom of the car off the floor.
