I kinda just threw up in my mouth.

:O
Should not be possible! They didnt even do ONE thing correct there! The car is seriusly damaged permanently. All those rust traps with the screws also.:S

esscolab · 10-07-2008, 07:33 AM

That looks a real bodge job. Even a drunk could have done better. I am amazed this guy can run a business.

atr_hugo · 10-07-2008, 07:40 AM

You know, I would have at least lined up the drywall screws - instead of just putting them in at random. I wonder if they used a claw hammer to seat the screws? ; -)

That's some seriously bad juju

larryn · 10-07-2008, 07:45 AM

I would be willing to bet that there's going to be a whole new set of horror pictures and hatred, once that kit is removed by a reputable body person.

TunedM2C · 10-07-2008, 09:19 AM

Why did he even drive it away from the body shop? Let's start there first.

Endre · 10-07-2008, 09:25 AM

That i dont understand either! NO WAY i would have driwen off in that! And ha also signed the papers AND payed the guy?:O

ChrisK · 10-07-2008, 09:40 AM

Good grief that's a nightmare!

Sherifftruman · 10-07-2008, 09:56 AM

He also decided that $250 was too good of a price to turn down, even though most places would not even paint the kit for double that, much less put it on. It also looks like a he got a really crapy kit.

The Body shop should never have even tried to put that on. They should have called him and told him teh kit was bad.

I imagine anyone could have done a better job at home.

RobLS · 10-07-2008, 11:26 AM

lmao that is so funny how they did that. Not for what happened to the guys car... just how it was done.

coco_m3 · 10-07-2008, 01:33 PM

OMG!
I WOULD KILL WHO EVER DID THAT TO MY CAR!
Im pissed and its not even my car.

Brandon26pdx · 10-07-2008, 03:26 PM

Oh my god. That's beyond amature. I know absolutely zero about body work and I could do a better job. totally ruined that car.

ptack · 10-07-2008, 06:59 PM

I imagine in retrospect there were lots of warning signs going into this - like a blind guy holding the scew gun.

Blind guy would have atleast lined up the screws!

Oh man do I feel bad for the owner of that car. I just hope he gets it all sorted out.

Welcome!

I scanned the thread, and read that the dude who did this was getting death threats and people were walking by his business and chucking beer bottles at him. I don't think that's fair either. Hopefully it all gets taking care of and both parties come out of this mess ok.
