[flatbeat]

went down today to get some bits out of the coupe took lots of pics as i smell a rat big time
as there is nothing wrong wit the wings , sill, gaps as they look all look ok,air intake
is was told that the assor told the body shop not to let me near the car eventho i have not heard a thing
its all me pushing
the body shop told the assor its still his car untill you make an offer
so its like he wanted the head unit and amp his self

after going down today the assor is full of poo

the car in my eyes dont need a pull as all the gaps are the same


they put on the est form its and astra not the bertone coupe put a value of £1389 and put it as a cat c

please nobody use hastings direct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a astra ste in the eyes of the insurance company. But tbh the price is probably just slightly lower than I would have said . All cars need a jig nowadays in the eyes of the insurance to check how straight it is the cars as so well built now they can hide a lot but the wings may be down to be painted due too colour match at least there making a decent offer have you got everthing out of it?
