geordie_liam Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 nice motors these, shame how everybody with a BMW gets tarred with the same brush though, I remember being behind one of these in the zed, had his girlfriend in the passenger seat, cocky tw@t waved bye bye to me and put his foot down so a let him get a few car lengths away and dropped a gear, he had to pull over quite sharpish :lol: turns out he's a used car salesman at a plot near my house, I had went in for a look around and when i got back to the car him and a colleague were having a look round my car so i asked what he was doing and he explained who he was, seemed a decent bloke even admitted my car was "bloody quick" :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardS Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Nice one Allan - I'm pleased you've found one mate!! And that doesn't look like it needs much doing to put it back on the road either!!

Car.Mad Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Why does it need to go on a jig?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellaZ Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 to pull the boot floor out and to straighten the rear qauters so only a small amount of filler has to go in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car.Mad Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 so how does it all work then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellaZ Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 you drive it onto a platform where the car is strapped down solid, then there is hydraulic rams and chains and so on in place to basically pull all the car straight, they have all the measurments and the jig is set up to pull push bend all back into place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car.Mad Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 so is it done by computers?? and its just for the chassi ? (pritty much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellaZ Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 no mate, some are lasers, but mostly manual and mesurments, it also pulls out kinks and dings on the cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellaZ Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 it was at first, but then it was decided that instead of messing on beating and filling, it would be best to remove and fit new parts, all the joins have been drilled out and will be spot welded as factory, very neat and tidy job all for the price of £450, the car is still well in budget of the 9k i estimated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
