The paint, or laquer, reacted and it looked worse and worse by the day. The painter came to look at it and hauled it back to redo it!

I'm promised it'll be done by wheels day, thing is I wanted to change the wheels and tyres before then and it's looking like I'll run out of time... at least I'll have a car though. I haven't at the moment cos the Nova SS has sold!!!

Was good to meet you at last m8! Sorry I didn't get your message till I got home after, I work as a mobile engineer and can't get the e-interwebmail at work as my car is my office. Was good to see you anyway, hopefully catch up in the next week or at wheels day. Who's car will be finished first, that's the big question? :lol:

You will be glad you have sent it in when it comes back mint,i know it is frustrating when you can not use it.But when you get it back with improvements it is almost as exciting as when you first buy the car.
