I've seen the car and it's a real shame to see the damage.

I hope you at least got to get see some decent cuts of meat out of Bambi.

Ty this is typical of the luck I get.
Every time I get a reasonable budget saved towards the 2.1 build something crops up.

what a strange day.
Spoke to LV who are dealing with my claim to cut a long story short they told me they wanted a local engineer to check my car over so i arranged to meet said engineer at the workshop next Wednesday 1600.I spoke to Ryan to let him know what had been arranged for him to tell me they had recieved an email from the engineer granting permission to commence with the repair.

Well that all depends on your goals, if your builder is experienced then go with their recommendations
