I was just reading through this. When I first saw you had anthracite wheels I was like "nooooooo", then you put the white ones on and I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", then you put the originals back on and I was like, "Yeeeeeeeah that looks sweeeeeet".

Big thumbs up for the best looking motor on here!!! :approve:

 

[SBV116]

Lol, i am beginning to forget what it looks like!!

 

[Christopher]

Any news?

...any more pics?

 

[SBV116]

^^ lol, 95% done so the man says, he was going to deliver it back before he went away but it wouldnt have had the air box on as it was still having the new backplate machined.

Told him to keep it until its sorted, Ben gets back middle of the month!

 

[Gaz_]

new heated home finished this weekend

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

I NEED that Momo steering wheel.

What's the model and size options fella?

Sweet!

Maybe i'll have a poke around it when i come for my cambelt early next year.

 

[SBV116]

Well well well!

Long time no updates, Right, the car is back at mine, not how i imagined!!

Will be some more updates soon folks! Nothing to special i am afraid!

 

[Tucker]

the work has been done though right?

hope things are ok?

 

[SBV116]

In a word no, no other way of putting it really. i got fed up of waiting and lost all interest in it, so went and pulled it out of angelworks.

Its back in my place now! Going back to former glory hopefully!

 

[Craig]

a bit of a shitter that it never got fully finished mate. its good thats its back i suppose

 

[Tucker]

ahhhhhhh proper s**t. At least you've got the skills to save it though.

what the hell is he doing in there?

 

[Daniel]

So is that around 5 people whose cars have gone in there and not emerged how they should have??

 

[Tucker]

custom inlet plenum anyone?

 

[lemonnobby]

just read all that was looking forward to it. pleased you can save it though

 

[Gaz_]

Its a f**king joke tbh, i'd say about 4 days work has been done on it..........

 

[Russ.]

Glad you got the car back Steve. Hope it at least went smoothly when you went to collect the car?

 

[Gem]

Glad you've got it back Steve, but not so glad it's cost you an arm and a leg to have precisely zero work done on it.

Also hope you get the bits back that have gone "missing" too....

Yeah, Steve mentioned things such as matched inlets might not be to hand on collection. Very poor show.

 

[Slammed172]

Ditto the above two.

 

[SBV116]

Well ben has said he is going to sort me some matched inlets out, so i am just hoping he is a man of his word.

Ordered a new rad, mine is apparently at the alloy comp, not worth the hassle if im honest!

Got a couple of pics i took this morning, will upload them in a while, they ain't very good as its a bit cramped and i wasnt hitching it up to the tractor in the rain to push it around! lol.

So am I.

 

[Gray]

Oh dear Kev.... Poor show!

How long exactly was the car at AWT?!?!

 

[Russ.]

So far i know the following cars have been to Angelworks and come back half finished, never resurfaced, or just generally taken 12months+ for work - Dave (minivalver), Ben_p and Steve's. Whos are the other cars that have been to Angel Works that Daniel mentioned?

Good luck with the inlets Steve. How much work do you estimate there to be to get the car running again?

[SBV116]

Russ : Doesnt look to bad tbh, should go back pretty easily, got to swap the cams over etc!

Reckon it will soon come back together when Andy / Gaz / me get stuck into it! lol!

I was all up for selling it, but as soon as i set eyes on it, it looks the nuts! So may hang on to it!

 

[SBV116]

Engine bay shot :

Aftermarket Vems inside, along with my origininal throttle body! lol! :

 

[Whiteley]

 

[Gaz_]

The whole episode f**king stinks tbh

If we had took thousands of pounds off a customer to rewire someones house, then turned up for a few days over 12 MONTHS plus and left it like that, we'd be facing legal proceedings for sure. In my eyes the guys nothing short of a fraudster.

 

[Peperami]

That looks an enormous mess

 

[Gaz_]

Nah, its not too bad, its what he's done/not done in the 14 months he's had it. Only thing thats complete is the cams, its disgusting tbh. You can only do your best in what ever you do, but there is no way this guy could ever look himself in the miror and say he gave steve 100%.

 

[Little Newms]

I always stick up for Ben but Gaz your right... That stinks and im gutted to see that tbh!

Cant believe its been sat there since my last two visits!

 

[SBV116]

I should be down working on it to be honest, but can't be arsed! Got a new rad on order!

Bad times mate, least she's back at the ranch now. :approve:

You decided if you'll be putting it back to standard or you going to finish the job yourself?

 

[Kneel]

Thats a shame mate, a few cars from Angelworks with the same story so far and thats only on CS..
So has Ben offered any kind of refund for work thats not been done? I'd expect to get most/all the labour charges you've paid back atleast (assuming you paid this upfront).

 

[Christopher]

Gaz is bang on, there. Totally unacceptable, whichever way you look at it.

Hope you get it sorted, and back to it's former glory ASAP... it's still one of my favourites on here.
