panel replacement and paint

hey mahoney, glad to hear you got your G back?

I miss mine if I don't drive it for 3 days.

Did they do a good job and which body shop was it? I would be interested in the contact as I would like a quote to replace some panels and respray my car as well. I would appreciate it if you could private message me with the details and cost.

Thanks!

The guy gave me a complete break down of the work step buy step by taking pictures with a digital camera, then burned it onto a disk, very nice and helpful chap.
only problem is i forgot the f~**ing disk in southend :evil: :evil: :evil:
oh well never mind i will have to post these whole lot some time during the weekend.
as for the price, well guys it was by no means cheap. although the job was pretty much perfect :) :) :) .
it came to the best part of 3 bags of sand. that was for complete strip down,all the panels to be treated, the rear door was built almost from scratch,gear lever which was also fabricated and a complete respray in black merc paint, there was also the issue of the central locking and the alarm system which which had to activate it ,which i was told was a hell of a chore to fit.
well thats the lot for now except to say that the guy told me it was one of the most awkward and iritating jobs that he has ever undertaken and that he has no wish to repeat the process in the forseeable future as it took up way to much of his time. i was going to pm this but i guess all the guys sould have the info. :wink:

the guys name is colin at swancoachworks.co.uk they are very nice professional guys there
and will do a great job.(even though he probably dosen`t want to :twisted: :twisted:.
tell him luke sent you .but be warned ,he may have a small episode when you tell him that you have another g wagon for him :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
