can't understand why you never got your mate to make it in the first place, I certainly wouldn't get a builder to do a job when I've got a mate who's one

tony

02GF74 - 21/11/09 at 10:19 AM

maybe I should go to specsavers but they look identical to me!!!

the first is lovely and organic, not having a single striaght edge nor a single right angle, can't see the prob. myself..... guess there is no pleasing some people.


fazerruss - 21/11/09 at 10:38 AM

Did you get your money back?
If not take them both back to the Ist fella and show him what his pile of sh*te is supposed to look like!


imp paul - 21/11/09 at 10:53 AM

dr-fastlane - 21/11/09 at 11:20 AM

Confused but excited. - 21/11/09 at 03:25 PM

In your eyes yes but not in mine, when you get stitch for about 20 grand and come across someone else whos had the same thing with the same person,i think its worth a contact! wouldnt you! or maybe not!


brookie - 6/2/12 at 04:32 PM

As much as you have an issue with someone else's work it's kinda bad touting it on the net. You have to remember as the project manager you selected the craftsman based upon price & workmanship etc. Surely you wouldn't pay me £5000 to oil paint you a picture without seeing the quality of what to expect beforehand ?

The welding work on that new plenum is real nice but is it going to be any stronger do you think? Unless its 4mm plate if you shove 30 psi through it or have a fuel back pop it could turn into a football. Some internally welded vertical pillars to tie the top & base together would be good.

As it was my car and my money and my time and to.say I was unhappy is a lite way to put it and I also don't like being ripped off . And this is a free country for freedom of speech and I do believe if it was you you would feel bitter as I do there is no more to say about this matter



MB CUSTOMS NAMED AND SHAMED
