    It has actually already had a full cut and polish, and that area looks the best...so naturally the car looks like it's got a pearly effect in the paintwork It's just my phone that isn't showing any detail from the panel. I'll get some good piccies soon mate

    When I can afford it again I'ma haul Dan's behind over to my place to get it done properly I'm not sure anymore whether or not I'll need a stage 2 or 1 now.

    AFAIK that's just my lame ass phone.







    GUESS WHAT! I have problems. Seems you can't trust a panelbeater to do their job without buggering something else up...must have missed the lessons from that class.

    Problems:
    -Car starts like the battery is dead. VERY slow clicks from the starter motor and it feels like it's not going to start, until i push the throttle; then it will struggle itself into idle.
    -Central locking doesn't work whatsoever. No motor noises, no air noises.
    -When starting the car, the clock says 12:00 every time. While I'm in the car driving, it passes time as normal (ie if I've driven for 36 minutes, the clock shows 36 mins past 12) but when I go to start it after 10 mins of not driving it will reset.
    -When I tried to start it this afternoon my driver's window went down. LOL.

    So anyways, it sounds like a bad earth/shorting issue. Wouldn't you know it, I took the central locking motor out to have a looksee and it had water in it. Bingo!
    I rang him this morning and asked if he knew anything about it, and he assures me everything he touched was working when it left the shop, and as such he wants me to take it back to him, leave it there so his auto elec can look at it, and I quote ''if he finds something, which i can guarantee you won't be anything to do with me, you're gonna have to wear the cost''.

    Fat chance.

    Hate to say i told you so but there you go mate. Tell him to eat a d*** and fix your car. Seems a bit stupid that after he had the car for that long nothing broke but as soon as you got it back eveything brakes at the same time!
