Well im a little cheesed off
Spent the last 3 weeks working on the car, fibreglassing, wiring, sound proofing etc etc and today hit the first major problem.
Painting it all.
As many of you know i have gone a little mad with my ICE install, about £4000's worth of kit all going in a custom one of a kind fibreglass install
Custom Doors
Tweeters in A Pillers
Complete fibreglass boot build
Rear quaters smoothed and painted
etc etc etc etc
Today we rushed to get all the fibreglassing done in time, we were just finishing the final wet and dry'in on the boot when i quickly rang my bodyshop to comfirm i can bring all the down...
After about 15 mins on the phone to the bodyshop i got off and was just gutted.
They are to busy to do the bits i need doing in time for Max Live
Its my fault really we had planned to of completed the work about 2 weeks ago however its taken alot longer then planned.
So im now back to square one... No speakers, no headunit, no nothing in the car....
However the dealer im working with is giving me a brand new Alpine touch DVD screen for the weekend and a set of £700 quid focal componants to rag at max power too...
I suppose i could of chucked what i have in the car now, just in primer, however i want it to all be perfect so im going to hold out!
Just gotta wait til next week until it can get sprayed now....
So because of the hugggeeeee let down from the bodyshop we have decided to chuck a few more screens in, another fibreglassed amp build and also another one off idea for my PS2 ready for the next show...
So bring on ultimate street car for my install
And bring on Max power live with my front speakers only

yea kolin,
i know a few, however when i said i need it sprayed tomorrow most of them said no,
some said yea sure we will stay on late to sort you out
but they were just gonna fuck me up the arse with the price
£500 quid most quoted
just to spray some bits
thats more then my bodyshop charged me to do EVERYTHING to my car
LOL
ill wait til next week and get it done for cheap!!
