The car had a bad life a complete mess. What's it like now ?
I wasn't going to reply to this, but feel that I should. I am so sorry to have heard that you had some issues with the car and i feel really bad to be reading this.
The car had been mot'd very recently prior to you buying it.
Yes you saw it in the dark but that was because you was late
You wanted the bonnet redone which was done
You wanted the alarm redone which was done.
All electrics were ok as far as a I am concerned. I have the pictures to show that all electrics worked.
You had been through all of my pictures of the car and in terms of the bodywork i did say that i wasn't 100% happy myself in certain areas and you would of course seen the pctures i put up of some of the areas I wasn't happy with as per below
You was told it had a S1 bottom end.
I genuinely did not know it was a diesel gearbox
You came back for it after you had been in it and you was happy.
I feel for your frustration i reallly do, and if maybe you had come back to me i would have or could have helped but as far i was concerned it was all okay, and you was happy. I never heard from you again.
It seems that everyone has messed now, and created more issues etc.
The shell was bought from Just Affords and was repainted
The bottom end was sourced and built by PJ motorsport
