Madmarky Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hi guys, been a while since ive posted, mianly because of no real news. My car has had all its suspension replaced and passed its 4 wheel alignment on thursday. So stage 1 of my repair is now complete. The bodyshop will start work next week on preparing my for its respary. Just thought i would keep you guys updated with the progress.

Madmarky Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Thanks for the comments guys. Heres a picture of all the parts ive had replaced, arranged in artistic way lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 More artistic and shocking would have been a bomb crater with all the parts scattered around it, rofl! Them front wings are the OEM ones tho, right? You could sell them to add a little more fundage to your project (unless you did that already and in that case I'll shut up...)

Madmarky Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 It was too good to be true that things were going right for once Bodyshop started stripping my car to get it ready for prep and found a whole host of horrors. The rear wing was only held on by four self tap screws so could fly off at any stage, no sort of bonding used what so ever. Where the uk number plate surround was moulded into the rear bumper the work is very shoody and is a mixture of compunds used. Some are over hard and fall to pieces and some havent gone off properly and are like silly putty. Various bits of trim were not removed for the respray and so have made a mess now there removed.And possibly the worst of all is the fact that the original paint wasnt keyed. Yes you heard right the new paint was sprayed directly onto the original clear. Meaning its gonna cost me a extra £600 worth of prep work to take the car back. So in a effort to save money im taking next week off work and am becomming a empoyee of the bodyshop. I will take some pics during the process and show you how its getting on. I will get there eventually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
