I would've kicked off until they fixed it, well out of order in my opinion.
I second that I'd be well pissed, hope it knocks out alright, motors coming along nicely tho mate

He probably drove into it with that stupid yellow diesel one with the crane on the back...
I went up there once, and he hooned it out of the garage, bashed the crane on the over-door-girder!
Firstly he nearly took the girder out of the wall, and secondly he did a massive wheelie!!!

well i should hopefully be getting my hand on a dent puller soon
been working on it all week really , as been off from school
this is the firewall/dividing wall , pretty impressed on how it turned out
, used some box section i had laying around in the garage , and some door mag lock brackets for the corner dad gets from work
moving my switch plate into the dash because when i put it into gear it always use to his my previous switch plate so marked up and started cutting
blanked of the heaters with a bit of electrical tape does the job
cut out move of the dashboard for my 3 dial pod
