sounds good, although they sure are setting themselves a lot of work for one week, i am assuming as follows

Monday & Tuesday start fitting doors and panels + locks etc.

Wednesday - Mask & prep paintwork and possibly get first layer of primer on.

Thursday - Rub down primer and start paint layers + bake car

Friday - Flat back and polish paintwork, install all interior panels, seats wiring etc etc. as well as all final alterations. (my last day of fitting together before HIN started at 8am and finished at 3am the following day! lol)

Keep calling em every day to see where the car is at! can we have some sneaky peeks?

plus time for qc checks and a full valet.

Monday & Tuesday for fitting doors and panels + locks ..............I would think that would only take a day Chris ;) and any how the guy who is doing the jig work, is doing most of the bodywork when he has it........all the bodyshop will have to do is put doors on and front wing,

i think they have fixed and preped the bumpers last week, so thats alot of the work out the way,

all i can do is hope they get it done ;)

[Wosket]

defo gonna be touch and go i think, if it was being done at lexus stockport it defo wouldnt be ready.

keep pestering them marcus, hopefully they wont rush any and bodge it.

[TheDon]

sorry just run that past my body shop and they reckoned to do it perfect they would need 2 weeks to do all that work unless they were running 20hr days in which they could do it in 5-6 days.

It takes a lot of time to get the car back into perfect working order after jigging tho, thats why i let them take 2 months to get the car done. so they could spend as much time as was needed on each and every item.

They even went so far as to do any filler work and leave it to fully dry for a week to lessen any post sanding shrinkage.

just hoping that they dont cut any corners thats all.

keeping me fingers crossed for you fella!

[marcus]

well i was hopeing to get my car back this week, the bodyshop phoned me to tell me that the place thats doing the jig work have only just started it..................they have told me it should all be done by the end off next week now!!
