so when you know a car is going to be stuck a hoist for a few days, instead of rolling it off you just cancel all your other jobs and say can't do your job mate theres a car on the hoist :/

For me it's hard push a car out as i have very little room to stash a car outside. With the one stuck on there last week as the box and half the front of the car was off it would have been a pain to push around anyways. The job i pushed back was a clutch for a guy who was happy to wait the extra couple of days cos i gave him the notice.

I try and not do jobs that take ages to do, g/box building wise i try and stick to manuals as they are easier than autos. Same as diffs they are nice and easy. Anything major i try and stay away from unless the customer is happy waiting the month wait. As i only do the mechanical stuff on the side of my other full-timeish job i tend to stick away from anything major and only do day stuff or g/box diff work

Hi All,

In response to the original post I went down to Xspeed today to discuss the situation today with Hanson. Hanson was extremely forthcoming and showed me evidence of all the invoices in regard to the goods purchased, and then sent to the UK as was requested. So it certainly appears that Xspeed held up to all there side of the agreement.

This is not to say that the OP is incorrect in saying he hasn't recieved his goods, but they certainly the goods were sent a long time ago. I believe that there may be some misunderstanding here which is best resolved between the OP and the workshop, and not on an open forum where alegations may have negative impact.

If the OP has any issues with getting correspondance to the workshop then please feel free to CC me at [email protected] and I will ensure that the workshop responds.

Regards

Paul

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
