Clam Re-build

[Simon_111s]

Just posted some pics Hallcraft sent me of my clam being re-built into the july run gallery.

Ah, so it was you Nick was talking about

 

When I was down there the other week he was telling me about your repair...

[Scott_Mac]

Bloody hell... impressive job!

[MattyB]

It in indeed. Can I be cheeky and ask how much it cost you?

[Scott_Mac]

3 groats.

[Simon_111s]

Half a schekle for an old ex....

 

834 total inc vat and a full valet. Not bad to say they had it for 3 weeks.

Simon is Hallcroft the bodyshop next door to Horizon? As i have body work that needs doing and want to make sure i get it done by the best

[Scott_Mac]

Ally, yes it is the one next to Horizon.

Does it get the thumbs up? and do they do a complimentry car?

[MattyB]

Well my cars in with them all next week, I'll let you know.

 

But I popped in last week and chatted to Nick, and he seems like a top bloke, knows his stuff and they've done plenty of Elises before.

 

Well...just look at his Clam - looks fantastic, so they obviously know their stuff

[Scott_Mac]

They certainly know their stuff... i seem to recall that Simon (after his first visit ) said that the reason they are so good with Fibreglass is that the one guy used to work for Reliant... so has a lot of experience with GRP.

 

Not sure they provide courtesy cars though.

...did you say EX-leper?

[emmajaneb]

Now I see why you said it's going to be pretty indestructible Simon... Flipping good job they've done.

[Scott_Mac]

...did you say EX-leper?

 

Must watch that film again....

[Simon_111s]

Got it on VHS and dvd if you want to borrow Scott.

 

I think they do have some cars but obviously they get booked up pretty quick so get your request in early.

They certainly get the thumbs up from me, the job is flawless as anyone who saw it at the weekend will tell you.

The ex reliant guy used to work on scimitars not just the legendary 'Plastic pig' so he's familiar with grp in a high performance application.

 

Oh and the car will be fully valeted when you get it back...which is nice.
