ye i know the track is wider, thats not a problem. just that I have brand new fk ak's on and will be a pain having to replace them

"plus" whats that about?

Ok, started gathering parts needed for my vr transplant, just wondered if my fk ak coilovers which are designed for the 2.0 16v would be ok with the vr6, i know the vr is heavier but if i higher the coilovers up a little will they be ok? also do i have to change the suspensions top mounts too?

looks like sex

not sure if this is what ur looking for but here... from Canadian Corrado forum

just need someone to come look at the job my body shop has done and give me an unbiased opinion of how much it should cost, that way i dont get ripped off. Ill try and find this place you talk about Mr Sands, got their number?

You may or may not have noticed in a post of mine that I have some trouble with my bodyshop, basically dont think they have done a good job for the money Anyone near worcester/hereford that is an expert in body repairs? could do with a professional opinion on the job they've carried out, will cover expenses. the car is in tenbury wells, worcester thanks

how much would a mint job cost? and what am i to expect for £1500, ie should ALL stone chips be sorted? etc etc whats the standard time spent on a respray and what is the standard going hourly rate to do it? how much for materials? thanks

ill try and find out if there is anyone close to me. Would you know anyone in the worcester/Hereford area?

the main problem i have is that i think it will never be as good as i want it. just need someone to see it and give me their unbiased opinion on the price. how can i do that?

here's a basic pic of the amount of arch that was repaired on the rear of my car

Deluk, £50 for a full rear arch repair? do you work for a body shop? because like i said my bodyshop is tryin to charge me £200-300 for that work, so a proffesional quote would give me a good argument

just to clarify the whole job, I originally took my car into my local body shop place and asked for a quote to have a full respray, and have the following things done too. rear wiper hole removed badge holes removed rear seams filled bumper tow hook hole removed indicator holes removed rear arch repair (bubling under paint) front arch repair (dent) rear side laquar peeling repair rear arch wich was bubbling, turned out to be a complete arch repair using a replacement arch (ie welding etc) I removed all the trim (bumpers, lights, number plates, roof runners, door rubbers, sill protector, indicators, aerial etc) and suplied the replacement arch So what I need to know is how much the above job should cost. and how good the job should be? How good should the job be for £1500 should it be spot on, or am i to expect imperfections?? Also due to the unforseen problem with the rear arch (replacement part) he is now charging between £200 and £300 for that, is that fair? he has told me hes spent 40 hours on it in total. If you have had a respray or work for a resprayer could you tell me how much you payed/charged what you got/did for that amount and if possible contact details of the bodyshop. thanks

Wow didnt know i had the right to take the car away if I was really pi55ed of with the job, hopefully wont have to take it that far. I did see some work they had done before but think my car as the first full respray they carried out, I thought I would give them a shot be local guys and said that I'd promote them if things turned out as I wanted Didnt realise that runs should be sorted before laquer is applied, its so obvious now i think of it, good job Im no painter ;) There was alot done on my car to be fair to them, had washer jets/indicators/rear wiper holes blanked, loads of dents sorted, and a big arch repare (rear NS arch completly replaced due to major rust). how much would this normally cost? because if he said he done it cheap for me then i can at least say err no you never or thanks I was getting worried when first had the car in the shop as a week inot the jobi had a call saying that they broke the rear glass, I had to source a replacement. then I was asked to source the rear arch. I did this thinking id be able to find better parts I even left the car with them for ages thinking they would do a better job. think its been over three months now.

ok, well im supposed to pick it up in the new year so will talk to the guy then. They have done a good job otherwise, but im very picky. so can i tell them to do it again if im not happy?

took it down for a quote, was told up to £1500 to have what i wanted doing. so agreed. not handed cash over yet, just waiting to see what i can say when it comes to picking it up

Just been down to see my car which has just had a full respray. Im not happy as there are lots of imperfections for example they havent sorted the stone chips out on the leading edge of the roof and bonnet. lots of paint runs, and also can see where there used to be sticky marks from the sill protector do i have the right to tell them to do it again properly? can i take them to small claims if they try to fob me off? what are my rights? any help would be greatfull thanks

Im calling shotgun on these. I want.

not alarm problem? how old is the system?

shotgun!

as far as i know they are the same.

this should be an intersting test. keep us posted

ok, thanks for telling me the bad news

ill use the vr mount, but i'm hearing rumours that the subframe is the same, but still trying to check this

sell it, but i doubt ill do this conversion that soon, looking at doing it in easter. think i have someone already interested in it too.
