Totally sound guy, Ive bought from him and loads of other people I know have as well.

Pretty much everything he sells he has competition proven himself, and his service is always good.

He sent us a hub out to Germany for my mates Corsa when I broke it

Good service on his behalf, not such a great one from the mail company we used

I bought his FRS replica off him....and found that it was leaking around the tailgate into the rear quarter where there were gaps in the weld, which caused it to rust... Couldn't get hold of Chris and spoke to the garage who he'd said done the work, who had no record of ever having the car in.......

Your mileage may vary!

Chris bought that FRS replica already converted as I was one of the first people to see it when he collected it (that day). The only thing he did was fit a HID conversion, brakes (i think) and slot in the ST170 engine and that is as far as got with it before having to sell it to fund his business venture.

I assume you're talking about the black one and not the blue one that his mate had?

Just come across this when looking for something else, you called last year regarding a pair of 366mm discs to replace the fronts as they were worn but never mentioned any of the above, you have always had my contact details and you havent been in contact since the enquiry about the discs, i said at the time i was told the conversion on the bodywork was done by Evans Halshaws Ford dealer in Blackpool but i had no history to prove this.

Regards
