the body was the hard work. but it was more than just body work that went in to it one off exhaust sounds loads better than origonal .90 speck bumper and spoiller make it look well fresh . it was nice to get free run on a car and do what we thought was right .

jacko its Emma,why are you lying? yeah you dun the body work and credit to you where its due but you are making out that you dun everything and we all know you didnt! you turned up wen you felt like it it was karl who was there from first thing on a morning till 6 n 7 at night. when you did turn up your day started between 2 n 3 in the afternoon. It was karl who was doing the car seems it was karls cousin whose car he was doing your job was only filling n flattening the body work down.not all the other stuff you have sed you dun so thanx for putting the pics on to show all the work that KARL has dun!!

where does it say i done all the work on my own .and i fitted the arches sills wing front panel sorted the roof apart from the sun roof inner ,repaired the doors . i got the tail gate and bumper and windscreen .and found the spoiler. i done all the filler work .i primmed it all i wet flatted the shell the doors the bonnet the taill gate .I chose the colour . When i started the car i was asked to do a bit off body work and karl was supossed to be doing all the welding but that didnt happen did it . i even ended up helping with the fit up and i remember a few times when i was asked to help him fit parts on the car and when i came over he was buisy doing his own car parts or some one elses car . I spent 3 months in that garage on and off and was payed next to nothing . Karl got more from that car than i did and when karl,s car was done it took allot longer and i didnt charge him a thing so as usual i ended up doing way more than i should have done . Karl knows next to nothing about body work and nether do you the only things you do know about it is what he told you which cant be verry much
