But.....you don't want to think of them rushing the job.(you don't want to think of them sitting around eating breakfast rolls doing nothing either)
Just think that in a years time when your paint job still looks brilliant you wont even remember it took an extra week to get it done.

Post by: Insanity-74 on May 11, 2007, 10:19:53 am: He was just flat polishing it when I got there.....needs under the arches to be painted black again....windows putting back in, door handles fitting etc, a few bits n pieces doing. The Finish looks excellent so far, very pleased..much better than the previous paint job. Hopefully it will be done by tomorrow evening, ready for the grand unveiling at the Bubble meet on Sunday.

Post by: mook on May 16, 2007, 09:57:45 am: Very nice mate, hope it stays unblemished for the duration, though it's sod's law you'll probably get a parking dent within a week :o When I had the Rover sorted it needed a new screen. Within a week a coach coming the other way flicked up a stone and put a fat chip in it >:(
