Hi Steve/all
Not an ex owner. You wont have seen my post regards my decision not to sell at the last moment. Took her for a last drive and just couldnt do it.
Its not anger either. More sadness. Some issues I cant talk about as I have promised an element of confidentiality( I am not alone in this) and I am a man of my word and of course strong opinions:).
I do stick by my guns with regards quailty of the craftsmanship. I am time served and spent my first year of my apprenticeship on hand fitting and machining. It costs very little extra time to do the job right firstt time around and many of the faults and issues many of us have experienced could have been avoided if skilled workers were employed or maybe just listened too! Who knows what pressure the guys on the shop floor are under.
Maybe I have just been unlucky. Some elements of the car, such as the body and iits paint finish are superb. Much else is not.
To the new guys on here. Be prepared to take some imediate remedial action as I am sure you are, for swarf in the fuel tank, missing washers, lose nuts and bolts a lack of decent paint( acf50 is the favourite cure) on chassis, mudguards and all ancillary items.
We have all gone through a honeymoon period where we dont want to hear or belive some of the criticism aimed at our pride and joy( I was a bump steer denier) but believe me these contraptions will test the patience of a saint.
Morgan quoting me twice the retail price for the S and S pulley mod kit was nearly the final straw but i am still willing to give her one last chance. The drive is fantastic.
Best regards
Matt
