I am looking at these guys panther package for £2k and before i make any decisions, can anyone here give me any feedback from them?
Anyone used them before for anything?
Thanks
Eddie
Build a Haynes Roadster.
CLicky
:popcorn:
no. just no.
make the order hand over the cash when you collect the kit.
make the order hand over the cash if you ever get to collect the kit.
seriousely do a big search on here before making any decisions
Based in Canterbury now and very hard to make contact with.
I heard Keyser Söze does all the work & answers the phone
I have been in email contact with him alot today, seems very quick with responses so maybe hes got himself sorted from some of the
unorganisation...

As a general guide I would suggest visiting any manufacturer that you are interested in (if you can find them!) before placing an order, and only hand
over money when you collect your goods.
Also have a search on here for other builders experiences to see how their reputation holds up.
Failing that pay by credit card so that if it goes wrong, you have some protection.

Aside from the stupid answers, mostly from people who havent dealt with GTS at all, heres what I did, and would do with any manufacturer.
Make a small cash deposit, say £200, then pay the balance on collecting the kit. Mine was ready before I wanted and and I had no problems.
Others have had problems, some of their own making.

i ordered parts and paid with paypal there and then, never arrived, darren told me i'd have to pay more money for him to send them, i told him i
wanted my money back then, he said its not his policy to refund money. i said you've not provided the service i paid for, i don't want the
parts, just my money back. he outright refused.
so, tell me if thats a stupid answer?
I ordered parts from Darren and waited months (no exageration) for them to arrive, when they did the welding on one item was so poor i ground it back
and re did it myself!
Obviously some people have had good experiences with GTS, and as mentioned the subject has been covered MANY times before.
Personally, never again, there's far better people out there to deal with !!
Clearly David has had a good experience with them but it seems there are plenty who havent and there is generally no smoke without fire. I have never
dealt with them myself, but a mate of mine has - and his experience was enough to put me off GTS for life (even though its nowhere near as bad as
many). He ordered a pair of seats off ebay which took 14 weeks to arrive - just plain old black fibreglass seats!!! Numerous phone calls went
unanswered as did many email messages. 
As before Eddie, are you willing to take the risk?? Go and visit them first - at least you can get to meet them and if they are close to you so you
can collect all your parts then you should be in a better position if things go wrong on delivery (especially if you are 6ft 6"!!! )

It would also appear that he doesn't answer the phone unless it has callerID. All I can say is that some people get to talk to him and others
don't.
If you're having trouble contacting him, they borrow a mates phone.
