Well this is just a guess but I would say Star Signs, Brighton thats in the picture of the van before he had it done.

Yes must say looks good. But I would have sorted out the rust before I had all thoses signs added.

I will be getting that sorted shortly, shouldn't interfere with the signage.

Cost £180 + VAT

Er really I would get more quotes!

I use to work in a body shop but I cant tell from the picture the true extent of the rust but does not look that bad

Hi Dave

Yeah, i know  ;), almost fell off the chair when he came back with that  :o and knowing my luck the van would break down just after having it done.

Apparently some panels have to go in there is some unseen rust underneath?

I also run near to end of life Transits and it wiould cost nowhere near that to sort

Panels are reasonable here

Paint I get from ebay, I use acrylic and 5 ltrs with hardener and thinners etc including a gun costs less than £100.

Hi

For 1800 Beeping pounds I could get another van!

All that was missing was a mask and a gun!

Feel a self fix coming on...

Hi Martin
I recently got the van resprayed everywhere apart from the roof for 500. However the different quotes I got all said they would rather do the whole lot than touch up the rusty bits. One quoted £300 to do a touch up, it was quite bad, a Mercedes Vito.
When I seen the finished job I was glad I did all round

Hi Martin, have you been doing much work for Carrington's? Did you get a phone call Saturday morning to do that flat clean that day?

Hi Martin,
We could not do it, as I was in London and staff dnt generally do weekends unless pre- booked. Do you think James had to do it himself? Lol. Are you busy with Eot work? We seem to be getting itemised work rather than full cleans at the moment?

Hi

Nah, it didn't get done at all.

Yeah, same here, weird isn't it.

'Do oven/hob, front GFF window, top floor shower screen, vac throughout.

Looks like people are cleaning to get their deposit back and just missing bits.

Trying to push the Extreme cleaning but it like trying to push a elephant in concrete boots!
