holy ****, how have i not followed this thread

TOPGUN · 11-18-2008, 07:34 AM

Just spoke to the bodyshop apparently there was a problem with the windscreen, they were going to use there own people and claim back from my insurance company,seems they wanted me to pay another £210 as the most they could claim for was £90 seems a bit odd to me.Spoke to my insurance company and the order was never processed so thats been sorted,the other issue was with the rear bumper bar, i brought a secondhand one and they have sent me the wrong one,they sent me a UK spec one so no big issues at all.Car is 95% finished so if i can get the rear bumper bar i should have the car back by the weekend fingers crossed.John i'm using Station Body Shop in Fareham

Cheers dude was looking forsomething like the original TRD wheels but its like looking for a needle in a hay stack,the majority of people love the wheels can't wait to get the car back and get them fitted,fingers crossed should be by the weekend.

At the mo the whole car is being colour sanded and mopped and then waxed so that would be the last stage once the whole car has been reassembled.Here are a few more pics i took today.
