Jon

hi jon, im good thanks mate, and you, yeh its a releif to have it back, one problem though,the drivers door, bonnet,bumpers and bodykit are at the same bodyshop, the owner passed away 2 weeks ago and its been closed since, the bits need to be painted and there all paid for, as you know the probs i had, (bodyshop having it 8 months)they then refused to release my car unless i paid a few hundred quid for the extra painting, that was not the issue. it got out of hand. but the insurance paid for most iof the bodywork so it was ok.i just want my bits back, painted or not, id rather pay someone else to paint the bits ,rether than lose them . the. bumper and bonnet are brand new, just sitting there, but im being understanding under the circumstances jon, thanks for the shout mate, good to talk to you, hows your car you got, going ok i hope mate,ive got to do the underside next, :cry: :cry: :cry:
not a nice job i dont think, but its got to be done, im not planning on having it on the road this year, ive just got a run around tonight, for free, a j reg 1.6 lx bright blue escort, 3 months mot left, but for nowt its great. mobile again at last

regards dave

i know what you're sayin bout all the bits mate! bit of a bastard! :( hopefully they won't take much longer :(

the underside :cry: :cry: you must have a lot of patience and time mate :cry:

the escort sounds alright for free :banana: as u say, at least it gets you back on the road :top:
