Should be welded up and ready for primer next time I see it. If all goes to plan I'll have it back in 2 weeks.Famous last words! Supposed I tempted fate by collecting the trailer last weekend...
Seam sealer was scraped off with a sharp tool and heatgun - bodyshop did it uber quickly!
it it being put back together now or have you got some other bits and bobs to do to it?Still got some bits to do - the bodyshop didn't Shutz/underseal the other side of all the stitch welding, they did more when I pointed out the bits they'd missed - but still left a lot. Bit annoying when they had 5 weeks to sort all the bits I wasn't happy with!

I'll take some measurements Antony and PM them to you to compare. I asked for helpers with mine, but didn't get any - so (hopefully!) they're now posting some on to me. My setup clearly would need them to avoid the spring going loose in the seat on full droop. Currently not too impressed with Gaz, but the proof of the pudding will be in the driving!
Problem is- the bodyshop don't really give a shit. After rectifying the battery tray with a hammer last time, to solve their initial fuck up- neither of us left being impressed at all, this is a £2k+ job, not a few hundred quid special. The paint is good- but the craftsmanship and care behind it is utterly shocking.
Shame, as previously they've done some good work. I think money back and find someone who is willing to put care into their work.
The rear end is always full of rust and shite so its nice to see how clean yours is looking
is your baby giving you the finger?Yeah! Got her to pose for Uncle Yoof.
Those slotted holes on the rear axle - could they be used to correct a leaning car?Only just spotted this! Possibly could - if yours is leaning a bit because the axle is on the piss.
Stuck record, I know.
