Got my SD1 back from the bodyshop yesterday. Those of you with long memories may remember it had new nearside wings front and rear and a sill fitted. Or rather, that's the parts I supplied for fitting, but the the 'character' who'd quoted for and done this work decided to cut repair panels from them instead. Which clearly showed - and with dangerous welding.
The new place sorted all this - but I had to buy another new front wing. The other repairs were properly welded and fettled to be invisible. Other job was getting a replacement front door - fitted ages ago - to line up properly. This had defeated me as it appeared to be twisted.
They've resprayed all the nearside - including removing the doors to do the frames properly. And compounded all the other paint - so it now looks a million dollars. And all on budget too.
Quite restored my belief that there are still some around who take a pride in their workmanship. Just getting very difficult to find.
