bloody cheap price ! but if u charge more then u might not get many people wanting work done, so charge abit cheaper and more and more people want work doin so it all adds up in the end
and looks like a top job each time so the customers should be really pleased

yea i thought it was good price, alot of work i agree!! need to do it fast!!! i know i ask u about everything............but............
how wud u weld plate in to smooth the boot recess, never done one on corsa and wanna leave it so there is not to much filler needed!! wot u think?? how wud u do it? just plate over and bend bottom over to meet the old part of boot!!!
was even thinking of cutting recess out and putting metal in to cover it all then wud be good fit and right angle for the curve etc??
