Ricco\'s Ride

[Ricco_04]

My passenger door was stuck jammed,
It wouldn\'t open felt like it would break off if i pulled it.
So I went back.
But they fixed that but said it wasn\'t far from going altogether.

I didn\'t see it though.

Now it seems to be ok.

lol dont you just love it!  They always say it\'s something that has just happened to wear out naturally as the car was in their care! :Nono!

Had another poke around, and found the fuse had gone AGAIN - another one for the list.

Later that day when putting one of the windows up they suddenly stopped altogether - yep another fuse.

I don\'t know what they have done but it\'s getting fixed one way or another! Their first list of corrections was around 26 and the new one is so far about 12!  I guess 3 month\'s of it in the bodyshop just isin\'t enough time for them! :Hammer

Any progress yet chap ?

Any progress yet chap ?

Thanks for asking fella, I have a little progress, but not much!

The bodyshop turned me away and said next week :rolleyes:   The car is sat outside my window as electrical gremlins from the wiring they have somehow bodged up mean that it wont start now as the immobliser is permantl\'y on!

I have taken legal advice and am persuing that avenue.  It\'s peed me off so much that I actually wrote out the for sale advert for it a few days ago ( but it\'s no fault of the car or mine!).  I would still need it fixing and when that\'s done I would want to keep it!  I have paid a lot of money for the work and basically been made a fool from it all!

Ahhhhhh this is the life! :rolleyes:

Sorry it\'s not a possitive reply but she will get there in the end. :yes

Stick with it m8, mine was in the body shop for 5 months in the end but the end result will be worth it.

Is looking sweet in the progress pics cant waite it see the completed car.

Cheers fella :cheers

Car is booked in with a leccy & alarm specialist this week (soonest I could have) so hopefully this will sort thos\'e problems out.  Put me out of pocket again but we shall see where that goes.  I am waiting for 2 quotes for other work to come through and as soon as they do I can hopefully start to make progress again!

On the other side I have been having a few attempt\'s at photoshop - do I have a long way to go :Laugh   Just been trying different wheel\'s, different colour\'s etc, interesting though!

[rextreme]

ricco send me a secret pic and I\'ll chop it for ya...

[Ricco_04]

lol ok mate, secret pic\'s on the way! (Thank you sir  

Oh your not going to shop it pink with lime green stripes and lot\'s of sparkley things are you??! :Laugh

I\'ll send them to the email address on your blog.  (I\'ll send you smaller ones of my 3 attempt\'s for you to chuckle at!!)

[Initial-D]

Oh I wanna see your progress too after all this secret talk!

[Ricco_04]

lol it worked! :Laugh

I havn\'t posted pictures publically because of the troubles I have been having with the bodyshop etc  Apart from wheels the car looks fine (only at didtance im afraid! :mad:  ) There be sinister matters at bay which I am trying my bestest to get sorted.  Hey, I might finish my TII before this is ready :spank  :rollin

[Ricco_04]

Heck just put some pictures up on another forum so thought I better update this one.    It still has a lot of hard work to do to it (some of you will know what I mean there!  :roll ) But at a distance on photo\'s she is ok :







You can see how much the wheels need to fill out the arches!  :lol   As previous in this thread Russ has very kindly done some photoshop\'s for me (amongst others).  This is a chop of the wheel\'s that I have decided to go for.......



After that I have the canard\'s and rear diffuser to go on    She\'s currently in a warehouse having all the electric\'s sorted, which also include a new alarm system! :spank  (flippin bodyshop!)
