Paul Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Went and visited my Supra yesterday, bit of a mess, all stripped down. Been a delay due to bodyshops lack of planning their workload, resulting in another couple of weeks wait ! Dude, you'll be pleased to see the rear quarters are out Infact, all the glass is out, will have a nice new screen fitted at the same time compliments of the insurance co.

Paul Posted July 31, 2004 Author Share Posted July 31, 2004 Yeah, I'm hoping it'll turn out nice. Looks like it'll need a good valet after though! Bit p*ssed off that they haven't covered the interior and all the bits are chucked inside. Still, got plenty of dosh to play with/deduct if anything is damaged, I'll spend ages going over it before parting with cash and having owned it for three years I know every square inch Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Well at least you'll have a matching interior Paul! I'm having mine done from next week, same colour though...I'm counting on them to cover my new Gibson and Boyne Leather I hope... How long have they said it would take to finish btw?

Paul Posted July 31, 2004 Author Share Posted July 31, 2004 Mine could do with a re-trim anyway so lets hope they tear one of the seats:) Well, time wise, should have been 3wks in total........that was 4wks ago ! Now they are saying another couple of weeks so they would have had it for 6wks in total. The bodyshop owner gave a good reason though and admitted that they haven't been working on it much to date. Knowing what I'm like he has assured me of a pristine car and top job at the end of it. It's difficult really cause I didn't hassle them after dropping it off, just let them get on with it, and as with all trades they take the p*ss by slipping in other jobs infront of it, not bothered now though as they 'owe' me for mucking me around by making sure they get it spot on. BTW, got a courtesy car for getting around in, as Matt H will testify, it's a sporty little number Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coulda gone for a TRD style bonnet in carbon fibre especially with a black car. Yeah, there where a few Not too keen on the carbon bonnets, rather stay with the ali scooped one. BTW, it's not and never has been fooking black Currently Storm blue with a touch of primer type stuff, soon to be Trophy Blue. Funny, one of the younger lads said it would look nice Gold, told him to shut up as I'd taken six months deciding on the new colour.
