my poor zs

DaMoZ-MG · 18-03-12, 10:01 AM

well my poor zs is been off the road for over 2 years, in the mean time the car got broken into. all my audio equepment got stollen. they lost most of the parts i suplied them and only replaced some of the bits. wen i left the car with them we agreed they would do the job inbetween other jobs too keep costs down, in june last year i told them i needed the car by august to go to scotland, they said yeah no problem, it will only take couple off weeks to complet the work. awswome i replied. but sadly it wasnt to be. in the last few weeks id been back and fore, but last week was the finnal straw.so went down on monday with a trailer and took the car.

work still to be done:
re'aline front pannel (as its not fitted properly)and paint
paint and refit bonnet,
strip bumper and paint.
and a few others that the new garrage said needed doing.

pic of what the car lookes like at the mo, will update as the rebuild goes along.

First garage sounds a load of B's, hope you get it sorted and back on the road soon.

Have to post up and see if anyone has the audio stuff you need to replace the stolen lot.

Hope they sort it quickly.

Where was the car when the stereo got nicked?

the car was outside of the workshop, though they say it was in a nabours yard when the equipment was stollen,(the owner of the yard asked them to move the car) i aurgued the car was in there care and they should replace the eqepment.

Completly agree - if you have left the car with them regardless of where they parked the car it is their responsibility.

Again, completley agree - although originally they were doing it inbetween jobs they then agreed to turn it out quicker, there is only a few days work there so they should have been able too - and as for "losing" parts, wonder if they turned up on eBay, I've heard that one before.
