We went and picked up my brothers GSi shell disevening after 5 months in the spray shop. The guy has done a really good job on it and for a very reasonable price so he's cuffed with it. Just got to get it put back together now, he's got the XE all painted up and ready to go in too.

He made the mistake of saying to the guy 'no rush' and 'take your time'. The fella did say he'd done a bit of research into them and found they were getting quite sought after so put alot of effort into getting it spot on. So worth the wait I suppose.

Aye, he said you'd been on the phone. Laughed at when you said you thought I was asking a bit much for it. I knew you would be trying to haggle it down for at least half the price with maybe the odd spare part thrown into the deal lol . But yer his should look good when he gets cracking on it.

That's just the TCA's siting at a daft angle due to there being no weight in the thing.
