To find a pretty shoddy job tbh..... the colour match is well crap...front bumper look a lot lighter due to different basecoats or summut oh and apparantly yellow is the most most difficult colour to match :? Did'nt even bother to match it by the looks of things.. :(

On a brighter note the interior came out all good....

IIRC is't a BTTC fuel system with 1 litre anti swirl pot, Weight put that in back in the day when he owned it. Love the ticking sound it makes too!

Car's looking a lot better inside too Mart!!!

It was only a small job and Liverpool is'nt exactly round the corner for me mate or I would have done....just need to get the front bumper re-done should'nt be too much hassle. Wish they could do a good job in the first place though... :roll:

if u dont mind me asking how much it cost mate??

btw that fuel setup is well over £500's worth of setup! the filter alone is about £70, tank £300+, swirl pot about £150, braided hose, pump, etc, etc!

Cost me 350 notes..for both sills (bit of rust and respray) one rear arch, interior spraying and front bumper re-spray....

Craig

Martin

Aye I'm gonna sort something out with them...most likely get it sorted elsewhere though don't trust them to get it right really....

Think you will find White is the hardest colour to match!
Sounds like they we're just fobbing you off.
