right where to start i baught my nova back off a lad i sold it to and rang majika gsi up asking for a quote on a 2.0 conversion and respray which was in reason so i said yes he collected my car two hours later and off it went with reasuring me it will be back in a week,

weeks past then months it turned to nearly 2 and a half months with a diffrent exuse every time i phone.. eg.. car has fallen on my leg and im in hospital the gear box has blown up his child is ill his mate didnt do anythink for a week while my car was in his garage no cv joints so many diffrent exuses so i went down last week to have a look the car was in his lock up half resprayed engine half in told me dont worry will be done by weekend so i went down sunday still nuffin engine was bolted in and wired up but not finished so i went down again yesterday to collect and it was ready!!

the exuaust was blowing...
the car was in bits
respray was shocking
engine is in on a slant so is rubbing against the engine bay
he apperently seam welded it but my mate had a good look last night when we got back and it look like filler as it was cracking
doors dont even close prply dash was half in bits
electrics didnt work, no indicators horn heater lights nout!!
seats wernt even bolted in!
doors wernt sanded down and filled just resprayed over the red
bonnet still had dents in and cracks
and lastly it only has 4 GEARS!! which was scary fast but dont help down the motorway!!

heres a few pics of the mess..

Thats shocking

I hope you didnt pay him anything!

If i was you I would find out where he lives and give him a damn good smashing.

Mike
08-08-06, 12:02 PM
I would sue his fooking @ss off!!!

SuperNova!
08-08-06, 12:05 PM
Then get him beat up.

How much did you/ didnt you pay?

Jack
08-08-06, 12:06 PM
Yeah, I'd refuse to pay for that. That respray is appalling!

If I was you, I'd get an independent engineer's report (or even an AA vehicle check!) on the quality of work and the engine - if the report turns out the car isn't safe, get trading standards on him asap. The next "customer" he has might end up worse off!

Mike
08-08-06, 12:08 PM
Honestly, i would have refused to take the car and beat the sh1t out of him with the nearest available tool or pick axe handle!

Matt2107
08-08-06, 12:14 PM
Approach him.. tell him your not happy.
Blah Blah Blah...

When he says he doesnt care, you've got your car (which no doubt he will)
Threaten him with trading standards, he probably won't look scared so through in the small claims court as well.

After all thats been said about this 'company' i'm suprised people are still going there and that they're still:

a) in business
b) walking

Really needs sorting out once and for all, get trading standards involved mate and get them shut down for good before someone get seriously hurt by this muppets bodge jobs!

Matt2107
08-08-06, 12:20 PM
Lesson for the future as well.... make sure when you get a written quote detailing the extent of the work. If they won't sign it then walk away.

the car is not completely finished yet as it needs to do 500 miles to wear in the new head gasket

WTF??

As for that car, its an abomination, and definately needs to be compensated for, be it by the courts or a baseball bat!!

08-08-06, 03:58 PM
Fine job i'd say :D

Lol

I dont think anyone will buy it off here anyway after youve stated all the problems, best bet is breaking it:thumb:

As for malinko or whatever his Jap name is

Give him a head but from me, just for being disrespectful to a nova:)

Rexy
08-08-06, 04:09 PM
So let me get this right, U gave him the nova and thats how it came back to you?

jesus christ lad, I hope that thing is quick. You still havent said what it cost you.

As said, it isnt worth whatever you paid. That paint job it pure lazeness and i can guarentee it will start flaking at the edges and rust will bubble threw. Get it sorted pal...

Will F
08-08-06, 04:23 PM
Why did you accept the car?????

It would have been obvious from 300 yards how poor the job was.

I have met the bloke and he seemed OK... although he did let m down on a few things and refused to answer calls etc...

Seems like someone needs to pop by and ask for a refund.

Mazz
08-08-06, 04:29 PM
omg, that' aweful work :(
All those paint runs on the boot :eek:

Best not to use the 'baseball bat' method, let the small claims court sort it...

gsi bad boi
08-08-06, 04:30 PM
700quid!! cost me... made the mistake of paying 500 up front originally it was gonna cost 1100 but knocked down so much in price this is the end result!! trading standards have been contacted and as far as the nova it has been fully rubbed down today ready for a new spray job at a PROFESSIONAL body shop near me!!

Paul16v
08-08-06, 04:30 PM
id love to see what one off his LET or v6 conversions are like if he ****s up a xe conversion like that!

also should not have left the car so that trading standards could look at it them selves

did the ?700 include the gsi interior,dash engine and shafts etc??

gsi bad boi
08-08-06, 04:32 PM
also.... he had the car off me befor i had i read up anything on novaload about his business only a month or so after is when i read it on here!!

gsi bad boi
08-08-06, 04:33 PM
ow the dash was my mk 2 red dash which was a ****ty spray so i asked for a gsi dash so he resprayed my red 1 for me when i asked for a new gsi dash

General Baxter
08-08-06, 04:47 PM
id love to see what one off his LET or v6 conversions are like

std 1.2 suspension
std 1.2 brakes,
not welded up,

its a right boat lol

Philsutton
08-08-06, 05:06 PM
how do these people get away with such piss poor conversions, its no wonder that people have this belief that 2lt novas dont handle.

DI4BLO
08-08-06, 05:17 PM
If you have got trading standards, small claims etc involved you should have left it as it was, you have now played with the evidence !

nova---chris
08-08-06, 05:26 PM
Take your car to AP cowleys for body work. not the cheapest. but there work is good tbh! :thumb:

As for engine conversions. best done yourself or by a mate. alot less hassle than trying to organise prices for these things.

As for the first effort. it looks like its just come out the scrappa.

nov4801
08-08-06, 05:29 PM
i got done by him aswell i brought a car off him before i had signed up on ere big mistake. the car he tried sellin me was a gsi with nos was how u say ****ED, engine on a slant pissin smoke fallin to bits lol, the one i got looked in gd condition til i got it home and it blew up on me, NEVA EVA GO TO THIS GUY

Adam
08-08-06, 06:03 PM
700quid!! cost me...
Were you not suspicious of the price straight away when he said it?

I mean, a XE conversion would alone probably cost around ?600, after shafts,engine, fitting etc etc.
Never mind the respray.

But anyways as already said, he has not done what you payed him to do.

Mr_C
08-08-06, 06:42 PM
Personally I'd stab him .... make him bleeed !

Infact he is going on my kill list...

1)Michael Jackson
2)Tim Westwood
3)Majika GSi

lol

Nath
08-08-06, 07:07 PM
lol Mr C. im so glad i havnt gave him my car. he quoted me ?1500 for a conversion aswell!! fooking glad i never paid it

c'2.0lrt
08-08-06, 07:14 PM
not being funny but ill come break his lags for ya,last bloke who thought he'd get one over me wont ever do it again to anybody? still i wouldn't of taking the car away unless he was in the boot,sorry this happened to ya mate there out ther beware?

draper
08-08-06, 07:28 PM
what a fooking asshole, id burn his yard down simple as that, its not like he can suspect any single person theres loads who hate him/his company/his work

i dont know how the guy can actually let you pick it up in that condition - hes not even tried bodging stuff like most dodgey garages !

shy witness
08-08-06, 07:40 PM
bloody hell

thats nasty mate

i feel bad for ya............i hate people like that...doing complete split-**** jobs,and trying 2 pass them off as conversions....and 'expertly done etc etc......

as someone said..........is it any wonder that 2.0 novas' get a bad name...when theres shoddy workmanship like that involved...

and thats before ya even look at thte spray job

i do feel for ya mate.........personally i'd b round with a good few of my mates swinging pick-axe shafts demanding the money back for a start

Nath
08-08-06, 07:53 PM
yeh but mate didnt he say you had a warrenty on the car???

supernova86
08-08-06, 08:04 PM
Its dudes like him that give Nova owners and drivers a bad name. We have enough problems without t**ts like him contributing to the idle chatter that goes on!!

He needs to be dealt with 'cuz he is basically frauding people for things he couldnt deliver even if he worked for p***ing fedex!!

As everyone has said leave the car as it is and get trading standards in asap the photos should be evidence of the bodge paint job he did! Come on for the love of god! Did he really think you were gonna say "Oh yeah thats fine actually the bits youve missed will just T-Cut out!" Ermmm I think not!!

For the engine craftmanship which couldve killed of you i think as many people have said you should go round and pay him a visit and give him a near death experience that he will never forget!! Im sure you will find more than enough people willing to sort him out.

Its not nice havin someone rip you of but just make sure you get your money back and make damn sure he doesnt do it to anyone else!!

"Its not big and it's not clever but it seemed like a good idea at the time!"

ade
08-08-06, 08:30 PM
if hes a business do it properly and take him to trading standards via every newspaper, blog, website and forum you can.

Dont slander him - just post the "quality" of his work and advise people against his services.

If it was done as "a favour" then youre screwed because he can deny it.

If you gave him cash up front dont expect to see it again.

Did you pay? If so get a solicitor to contact him see if that will work.

Although it looks bad its fixable thats the main thing and it will drive again.

feel for you mate

TBH Honest a full colour change and xe fitting should cost in excess of ?2k so i would of been very dubious of ?700.

TBH Honest a full colour change and xe fitting should cost in excess of ?2k so i would of been very dubious of ?700. Exactly what i posted, when i got the quote i would of stood back and thought to myself "How the f**k can they do all that for ?700"

09-08-06, 09:57 AM
Might sound harsh but like a couple of others have said I don't really know what you were expecting for ?700 or even ?1100 as originally quoted. A good respray costs more than that without bringing the engine conversion into the equation.

Ricky G
09-08-06, 10:50 AM
if you dont get anyhting back out of him let me know by pm. i can give you a number to the bloke who will collect the debt! he will more than likely follow him kidnap him and tie him to a tree for a night or two. and doesnt cost 2 much either. what he does while he is tied up depends on how he wants to pay. eitha that or we could all have a massive nova meet and take out some of our anger on him!!!

Kinky Monza
09-08-06, 12:42 PM
Anger certainly isn't going to get this guys money back is it lads??? fair enough, you might feel some "relief" but it still doesn't solve the most important issue here, which is this guy needs closing down, fast!!!
Trading standards should be "happy" with photo evidence, but it might be quite hard to actually proove he did this work, have you any reciepts for the work/money paid??? if not, you'll have to fight dirty, IN COURT, as already said, get onto a solicitor, it'll mean you paying more money out, but at the end you should get your costs back on top of the compensation

Utter disgrace really. Ive already enquired about some bits for sale by that tutu fruitu ebay user, so will make a note not to bother there again.

I think going the route of claiming s*it back is pointless unless you want to devote all your spare time & hobby into legal proceedings. Personally I'd reason with him as to some way of having a refund or let him bribe you with a load of free bits you can make use of or sell on.

I'm not sure if you have put your grievences to him or not but if he's read this then I'm guessing he will be reluctant to help tbh... (not that you need his help, I know).

11-08-06, 12:14 PM
yeah we got a few prices and decided on this garage as its very highly rated on some ford sights.

Just novas charge between ?1.9k and ?2.5 and thats not with a respray !

but we did get some dubious quotes at ?900 just for conversion but the kit costs ?450 then they need other bits.

too many cowboys about that get away with it !

personally I think its brave of Lixen to post that. Takes guts from someone who used to be linked to him.

Take the cash - will go some way to rebuilding the car.

Sounds like theres more going on than we know (or wish to know) about...

Hi, this is stuart's ex girlfriend.....!
I am truly sorry for all the mess that has been caused, I can assure you that majika gsi is not trading any longer, nor is he trading in any other way shape or form.
I will personally give ?500 back to gsibadboi - pm me your address and I will post you out a cheque first thing on Monday morning. The address that has been posted on here is not the address of the unit, and i want to apologise whole heartedly that people have been put out by this.
Please rest assured that he will not be trading any longer.
I can only apologise for everything and hope that gsibadboi accepts this apology and the refunded money. I didn't realise that all of this was going on.

thats very good of you!!

will you be doing this for all the people he ripped off!!!lol

To be honest, i wouldn't accept the money. No offence to Lixen, but how will it benifit you to give away 500 pounds of your own money to compensate for an obvious rip off mercant. His workmanship is shocking, and potentially dangerous. Firstly, 500 is an Insult to gsibadboi and secondly, it hasn't really got anything to do wit you Lixon.
Its a very kind gesture for you to offer it but i feel its only right for someone to own up and take responsibility for their own **** ups and face the music.

Personally i think he's a great lad getting his ex to face the music, isn't he? Well done.

Could be the same person? He always claimed to build that V6 Nova but from what I heard it was done by a lad in Bishop Auckland

Don't give them your address if they don't already have it!

Ok i know i'm being really suspicious here but it could all be a trick to find out where you live. I just really find that whole ex bailing him out highly unbelievable!

How about pay pal or something?

Its possible to find an address via paypal I believe, not to mention them creaming their profits off it.

As said, especially if you want to pursue a legal avenue (which IMO is recommended!) don't accept any form or compensation.
