    Default Quality paint & panel

    Feel sorry for the poor guy!

    Long read if you can be bothered... but read the first couple of posts at least before proceeding.

    yeah, US$250 maybe you get what you pay for, but US$750 there should be a better standard of work than that. not show quality, but not wood/wood nails.

    the list of stuff done badly, maybe one of those things is excusable at that price, but to check every box and then some is ridiculous.

    lol, was reading this earlier.

    As I said to someone else, what amazes me is that even though the workmanship is that **** poor, the car doesn't actually look any worse, its still an ugly Z

    The bloody screws in the sill:my: well lesson be learnt!!, when ever i get stuff like this done on my car i will cough up the extra pennys and go to a reputable shop (one with certificates) and reputable looking blokes (not people who look like there on parole) and the other thing i check for is to look in their shop to see if the have the right tools for the job and decent tools @ that! it also dose not hurt to ask to see some pics of previous work they have done
