BaileyMex Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 I've been waiting for the Escort to go into the body shop now since about November, he's so busy he just cant squeeze me in, gets you down when something is outside of your control
Posse Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Patients Colin its about time you had something on the outside controlled
BaileyMex Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Posted January 6, 2011 no mate, got the panels, just waiting..........and waiting I know it'll be worth the wait, but still a bit miffed, trying to not loose interest
fieldy1972 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 i waited 2 months to have the bodywork and respray done on my mk2. then another 5 weeks at my mates works. it realy is worth the wait. the interest did fade for me a little but looking at cars on here and in classic and retro ford always got my enthusiasm back up again. now...........my old girl is back together and totally worth the wait.
SebringRS Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Same boat here m8, been waiting for my car to have a date for when it needs to be fully stripped by, then it'll be off to the body shop But no1 wants to do it, had one guy saying yeah he'd do it, but he's busy, another said he'd pop round to give us a quote, no sign of him either
Admin Vista Posted January 6, 2011 Admin Report Posted January 6, 2011 I feel your pain Colin. Mines been in the body shop for 9 months now.
PaulMags Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Your lucky mines been in the shop for 6 years and i'm a sprayer
5hane Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 i feel your pain ! cleared out my dads lockup in 2/3 weekends (8 car.. full of interers and crap tbh) so the farmer can put a new roof on it, so me and a mate can take it over... Been about 5/6 months now and were still waiting for it to be finished got quite a few jobs lined up, inchluding painting a whole mk1 escort (inside, underneat, engine bay, boot, exterier etc) and just cant do them yet
GJUK Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 well mines been away for 2 years now. Still not got it back!
jimbo Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 So if I can find bodyshop that will take 2 years to get round to painting my car (and do a good job), that would give me free storage and a chance to save up for the work to be done?
samurai Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Ha My car was waiting for work to be done, took them 1 and half years then they wanted to charge me for storage after i took the car back without the work finished! Never again Id pay more to get it done when i want it done for sure. I guess you guys are very young and have alot of time to enjoy your cars after
BaileyMex Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Posted January 9, 2011 I'm not alone then, Thing is I know and trust the guy 100% and know I'll get it done to a wicked stndard and I can help out there too, Once it goes in and the stripping starts I know I'll get my Mojo back, just wanna crack on now Before something like the boiler blows up and eats up my money
