After a lot of hassle of being on a waiting list which lasted for months, i was recomended someone else to send my car which was auto refinnishers at hartlepool, after having the car about 2 weeks he had done nothing apart from fit a smooth boot pannel and even that wasnt done properly. So i decided to take car back and head to GT Refinnishers @ boro. When i finally got there guy looked at the car told me how much of a state and hard job it was, ponderd over the two tone and said keep it one colour he would smooth the skirts and it would be 1800 quid, and would take him aprox a month to do the job. Anyway away i go again to Crags body repair in quarington hill, looked at the car said it wasnt too bad a job, he is going to do the 2tone, smooth the skirts, weld the boot and door handels up, smooth and spray the dash all for 650 quid, and he says will take bout a week for the dash and 2 weeks for the car, looking at some of his work he looks like a spot on job, just another long wait ahead for me
