im sure the work that Jacko is doing will be brilliant, but i would be seriously hacked off if my car had taken this long to sort out. Surely even with a bare metal respray i would want to set a time limit of a month? is that too unreasonable?

I wouldn't be bothered waiting if I had an Escos, a Rover MG Track car and multiple other toys.

it has took a while but it was allot of work to make it straight
with it being black it has to be perfectly flat and that takes so much time iv had the car sitting since it got back for the simple reason that i dont want any thing to sink after paint cos it will look terrible so iv give it a while so all the solvent in the paint is gone for sure its the only way to ensure it is going to be right aswell as the primer on the repairs whitch need to be rock hard

i mean ask any one that knows me its not like i ever go home early lol

and martin this aint a dig at you you have been more than fair and patiant

Black is a bitch and with these car's being so long any imperfections etc show up like a sore cock - i'm sure the work that Jacko has done on the shell is second to non.

Look forward to seeing the car built up

I`m sure it will be some job when its finished..

Its good to have someone that is taking there time on the job, and not just trying to get the work in and out as fast as they can..

All the people leaving crap comments, yous all experts on painting cars now?



Fair play to Jaco..

It pays to be patience, im in the same possition as Martin, but infact Martin has my car and has had it for some time, this isnt a big issue for me because i would hate to know my car was rushed from day one, would rather wait and have it spot on. It can be annoying sometimes but the end result will be worth it.

The reason everyone is jumping on the bandwagon is because it's Martin. Simple as that. If it was a nobody, everyone would be telling him to be patient. Just so happens on this occasion Martin has more followers than Jacko.

P.S If it ain't finished by tomorrow, I'll come and inspect it myself.

Ok guys lets play nicely I was supposed to collect it yesterday but Jacko said Sunday would be better as he wasn't quite done, sadly I just don't do Sundays as I spend enough time away from home all week.

I have left it for Jacko to text me when he's 100% happy with it.

rods was done faster

Just seen that tag

Mine left me on the 11th Febuary 2006, now that is a long time but the best takes time so not many tesostorone induced 'must have it now ' lads that seem to infest this forum will ever own the best.
Martin uses the best & if the best cant do it quickly ,he waits, cos to react any differently will see an inferior product comming back.

Am sure martin is going to be happy with the end result, blue oval garages work is right up there with the best and if all these keyboard warriors think there giving them a bad name then there not at all just ask the people who has had work done by them before plus he is very good with his prices to people where alot of other garages just want your money for every little thing possible.

I have not started the engine build yet but its not going to be anything outrageous. GT3071 externally gated turbo, Tial 44mm w/gate, the original 500 inlet using 4 injectors, very mildly ported head, change of inlet cam and all mapped on Pectel T2. Should make for a nice drivable car
