GREENRS Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 This is what happens when WHITSPEED builds your car, notice how thin the weld is on the 4 link kit!!!! Will hope to get it repaired for Ford fair
Admin Mk2Jo Posted June 12, 2007 Admin Report Posted June 12, 2007 Am so sorry to hear what happened Vince .. you have had nothing but problems with their work and now it is really showing ..... I hope you have considered your options Like Ian said, try Alwyn at Alimax - his work is superb ... just give him a call and i'm sure you will see what a craftsman he is 01443 816929
RETRO_AL Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 damm thats not good,you would expect a good job, i bet it was not cheap,and having to get it done again is not good
sambo Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 A friend of mine nearly had Whitspeed build a space-framed thunder saloon mk2 for him! Bloody glad he didnt now!! Sorry to see that mate, must be heart-breaking.
johnny_h Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 That's real unlucky mate, thanks for the heads up name and shame. There should be a room for it. I'd add AFORDABLE CLASSICS
MK2 Harrier Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 Hi vince, hope you got home allright your wife told me want happened, you only did one run on the strip and the photos looked good. Hope to see you soon.
Ratters Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 Try Neil at NTS Autos. His work is top notch & not far from you I would think. His V8TT Mk2 is ace & he also worked with SidewaysPig on his RS2 & also done Jons Cossie conversion in his Capper to name but a few.
kevmk2 Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 Sorry to hear that mate,i see you with it jacked up and wondered what was wrong. I was going to come over but i didnt get a chance being on the strip all day.
sambo Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 What about Whitspeed mate, are you going to complain to them?? How did that happen? and WHAT happened!! how did the link bar bend like that?!?!?
jay Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 mate, thats cack......... get on too whitspeeds case,
Doc Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 mate thats appalling and fooking dangerous ! You have my sympathy as ive been there mate ! Court or Club hammer
GREENRS Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Posted June 13, 2007 I Contacted Whitspeed by Email but no reply, Had reply a couple of months back cus i want my car out of his Advertisement but he said it was his decision and not mine!!!! Had no reply from Classic ford mag or Retro ford about this, Hopefully i can get the car repaired for Ford fair so looking around for quotes
Pye Man Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 That sort of stuff just aint on mate! Seen your car on the trailer on Sunday. Such a good looking car. You dont want shit like that hindering your enjoyment. Cars expensive enough, but if you have to keep chasing people around it still costs you money! (I.e. time off work, petrol/diesel, etc.) Hope you get it sorted to the high standard that that car deserves.
Rick Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 damn shoddy workmanship is not on name and shame
4parajon Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Its not good is it mate. Fortunately there are more decent companies out there than not and I hope you get it sorted to your satisfaction. I can fully reccomend Neil @ NTS as he's done a cracking job on mine and has been said also had a hand in SidewaysPig as well. Neil's in Reading if thats any use to you and can be contacted on 07810787888 Good luck with it
GREENRS Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Posted June 13, 2007 Have sent email and pics to Neil at NTS for a quote also Rich from Tremona garage is going to get back to me, Unfortunatly Alimax are fully booked for the next 2 months
sambo Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 Jesus, why cant they be man enough to admit it and repair it free of charge (not that you'll let them near it again, but its principle). tossers.
PIG Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 shit thats bad vince,they do seem to be tossers down there,neil has been doing some work on a red arched mk2 (was a retro track day with us) that whitspeed had fcuked up.there work on that car was shocking as well hope you get it sorted out soon m8
