Image

However Ray hit my truck but we came to an agreement and it was sorted out

Image

Hopefully going to bang it out

How come you paid ray to fit the engine then? Also did that dent happen while at his yard? Is be well pissed off if I put my vehicle in somewhere for work and came back with a dent like that :shock: I would've kicked off until they fixed it, well out of order in my opinion.

i was up for putting it in my self , but dad want ray to do it because the wire was completely nackerd and it need a hole load of welding , but ray did it very cheap for me anyway ,

and for the dent i had a bit of a moan at him and i think he knocked a bit of the price , but im not that fust with it to be honest easy to try and bang it out anyway
