Gutted beyond belief

[Banishit]

Send it to Ruddy's at least it will get ground well, or even chopped

[Troll]

Kev,

like the others have said I feel gutted for ya, but keep yr chin up its nothing that can't be fixed, have a chat with the guy see what he has to say, and if your still not happy with letting him do the work, walk away and find someone else who will, and you trust..

Good luck.

Mark

[RUDDY]

Kev, can't say anything the others haven't already said but I hope you get it sorted, try not to stress about it.

My advice to all is ...if you own a mk2 learn how to weld

Just seen this........


I told you so

Seriously though Kev looking at that picture the repair job is far worse than I have done and mines just an out and out Stage Car ,I,m not bothered what it looks like as long as it is strong.There is only one way to deal with a repair like that and to achieve the standard you want and have paid for and that is to take off the wings and struts and die grind out the inner strut pan and weld in a repair patch ,even doing this may blister the paint on your inner wings which would have to be repainted .
Gutted for you mate as I know just by reading the posts on this BB(as we have never met ) how much effort and expense you have put into your car MK2GRP4 will sort it by the sound of things .
Cheers

That just not on.
Hold all the payment but you will have to give him a chance to rectify his shoddy work. If he dosn't want to keep your money.

You would also have a case to charge him for remedial work but in reality this isn't going to happen as the hassle isn't worth the money.

Hope it sorts out for you. Most of us have been there. I had a car away for six months, all the work was done in the last week after I threw my teddy out, and it came back the wrong colour.

Tosser.

Gutted for you mate, what is it with the Mexico & April ?

[RS2K]

Bad news that Kev...... i feel for you, i know you wanted it back so that you could get to Santa Pod... hope all goes well with the help from Rodders....
I'd tell the guy to stick the bill were the sun don't shine.... pay him what you think the job was worth.... in my book that'd be feck all

[Mk2grp4]

Rodders, let us know who makes the best brew, kev or neil!!!!!

Will do,mind you neil has had a lot of pratice over the last couple of weeks Kev's got some catching to do will see how they compair

[RS2000&MEXICO]

as per phone call m8 i'm gutted for you m8
i think this is the mk2 escort ban wagon
if someone thinks they can get some money cos of a mk2 escort they will try it 100%..

[Chesney]

Rodders, let us know who makes the best brew, kev or neil!!!!!

Kev - keep ur chin up mate it'll come right in the end, defo have strong words with him tomorrow. I had the same problem with a bodyshop i had dealt with for years, needless to say he don't get much work from me now!!

[marky4]

really gutted for you kev as others have said show him the work in the morning and ask him what he's going to do about it hope you get it sorted mate

[Mr Hoarder]

Jesus Kev

I feel for you Mate

I would suggest a strongly worded letter, putting down exactly what you asked him to do, and where he has differed from your instructions.

Can't see any legal problems, as he has clearly gone 'off plan' as it were, and hasn't carried out the repairs to the agreed standard.

[Mk2grp4]

Failing that i'll let you borrow Rodders!! He'll sort it, just make sure he goes easy with the lump hammer and chisel!!!

You mean the grinder might have to make a bracet i think you should come over too as you make good coffee TEA BOY

[wiggyrs]

Gutted for ya Kev, If i can help in anyway give me a bell
