rusty wheel arches

dont all bodyshops use p40 for the finishing off? although some would be as well starting with a giant hard block of the stuff and carving you out a car.

DICK HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously get a life!! Beardymatt has one of the nicest sports out there!! look at the quality of his work before you slag his prices of.

Your the f*ckin DICKHEAD YOU DOUGHNUT read the thread from the start to the end before you post your comment.
How was I slagging of the work he does, Marianogodoy asked for opinions and recommendations on what are good prices on getting arches done. He said he got quoted 350 per arch, I said that is quite a bit. Beardymatt joined in the discussion and started saying that the 350 per arch that Marianogodoy was quoted from one of marianogodoy's local bodyshop was a good and very fair price. I disagreed
It had nothing to do with how Beardymatt does his panel beating,
Beardymatt was never going to do Marianogodoy's arches, so how was I slagging of how he does his work.

mate... its like everything.. you pay for what you get.. matt's work defines the word quality.. if you feel that his price is mugging you off so to speak then get the work done else where, no doubt your bodyshop of choice will have a art degree in p40... so good luck when the rust appears again in a years time.
matt is only commenting because he is a bodyshop owner and trying to give you a price that is realistic.. £350 a side is a good price and you will have the satisfaction that the work will be done to a very high standard... with NO P40!
i can see what type of person you are by your post.. you want something for nothing.. well sorry son looks like you are going to learn this lesson the hard way.

Please E30 bmlover READ what I said to Josh hocking when he ASSUMED that I was going to get work done from Beardymatt. You have made the same mistake by not reading the thread from start to finish and then made an assumtion that I was going to get work done from Beardymatt and was not happy with his prices.
WHEN THAT WAS COMPLETELY NOT THE CASE.

FWIW, I need quite a bit of bodywork done on my Touring this year. If he wasn't 120 miles away, I'd drive the car to Matt's and leave it with him......

Because I want it done properly.

Cheap jobs on shitters are only any good if you're punting the car straight on to some poor victim who doesn't know what they're looking at.
You know what they say - "if you do it cheap, you'll do it twice."!

Well look at the prices of non-rusty E30's and then decide if its worth it, its a £700 difference which isnt really that much unless you are lucky enough to drop on a bargain

It looks like this thread has suffered 'post trampdrift disease'

BTW i said you were slaging his prices off... if you want a top job beardy matt is your man, if you want a sanded back and sprayed then you know where to go.

and just to let you know i read all the post and you were saying that he was ripping people off with them prices.

yes it does as he did all the work to that car so by looking at his sport you can see the quality of his work and that its worth the £350 per arch he charges.
