Have had a MAJOR setback with my Oval.
We'd spent considerable time removing underseal, stripping bits off the chassis before welding in new Wolfsburg West floorpans, and we took it to a local powdercoating firm. They rang and told me I could come and pick it up without charge, but when I went in it was obvious why.
Both floorpan edges have been twisted underneath, the floorplates are buckled along with the seat runners, and all our hard work is ruined. Thankfully the central tunnel, frame head and rear forks are undamaged. It looks as if it's got caught in the doors of the blasting cabinet, which have tried to close while the chassis was still on the conveyor belt.
The firm have admitted liability, and are stumping up the cost of the repairs, as well as the new 'pans. I've taken delivery of new WW pans this morning, however it won't be going anywhere near this lot again!!
I'm gutted, not only for the damage, but also for Clark, who'd done all the welding.
