Well if thats what you want matey. I was in the same boat as you a few months back though so I know how you feel. Ive been bummed twice in the past by 2 bodyshops and both times I thought they were mates helping me out.

Ittttssssss update time.
Went to Gaz.s today to put the rear beam back in cause he wants to get the car in the oven very soon.
He has painted the inner sills. I didnt get a pic of this.
This is what it looked like when I got there.
The osr arch.
The nsr arch. Gaz said in his own words that the nsr arch and sill was a poor repair. I thought it was ok

We went to start the car to bleed the rear brakes and it wouldnt start which I thought was strange cause its been a bloody reliable car. Gaz had disconnected the ignition amplifer cause he is doing a small repair to the nsf inner wing lol. Its started and purred like a kitten.

give me some details of that big house then, and i'll post some pics of how much more they are worth in this neck of the woods, the last one had "offers of Ł1.3 million" under the pics 
but back to the car stuff, i told you, if he carries on the way he is going, he's going to finish your car sooner than you thought, thus making you spend more money on petrol to run about in it and more money on keeping it clean and more money on making it use more petrol
your last guy was doing you a favour by leaving it outside his shop for 14 months if you look at it like that
are you going to be reusing the old clips for the skirts?

Tbh it wont be getting used as much as it did cause I have the puma now. It will defo get used in the spring and summer.
Ive got some metal clippy things that I have had on the car for years.
Gaz has also been repairing and preparing a rear bumper for me too. Gaz has had a few other cars in his bs as well as mine.

lesson learnt glenn, don't fret about it as it's now done and dusted
if money was going to be coughed up it would have appeared by now so forget about it as you'll only keep reminding yourself how pissed off you were every time you think about it
