Guess Whos car still isnt ready
« on: May 04, 2007, 12:32:37 pm »
Well I must say I was a little disapointed to turn up at the spray shop to find that my car still wasnt ready...in fact nowhere near as you`ll see from the pictures. The bloke thats doing it proudly announced that he had bought some new equipment to "speed up" the process, all I could see was a new looking cork sanding block :o seriously this guy has done everything by hand and I must say the job so far is faultless......he has sprayed the underside of the bonnet to see how it goes...it looked like a mirror...all be it a tipo blue mirror but the spray job was fantastic, better then factory....then had a look at the boor handles, bonnet vent bits and the nose cone....all sprayed up seperatley and the finish is immaculate...absolutely stunning cant wait to see the finished car....its a shame I have to drive to Wales next week in the yaris again :-\.
A little bothered that the front wing and drivers door wont line up correctly, but he says he`ll work on it and get it perfect, also he`s gonna re underseal it etc etc.....top job so far...shame its taken a month, but I`d rather have a spot on job than him rushing it.







Judging by the vehicle to the right of mine he does st185`s too ;D

I wish I could do quotes as I could have a field day but I will just have to let it go.

everything by hand
boor handles
front wing and drivers door wont line up
he`ll work on it and get it perfect
he does st185`s

so many options but the effect is lost.

somebody find me some work to do
