hearing alot of bodyshops taking their time of late, i want to get some bodywork done on the gsi but being without it for weeks puts me off 
im sure it'll be worth the wait, just hope that theyre taking their time because theyre doing a good job.. they do say good things come to those who wait

UPDATE:
Well, after I think what was 6 weeks in the bodyshop i entrusted to carry out the work on my GSi, all they managed to do was knock out some rust from the rear arches, and screw in some sheet metal, Ive decided enough is enough and Im not letting them complete the car.
Ive booked it in another bodyshop, whos work is quality! currently working on a lotus carlton, focus st, and a restored vw camper, i think i can more than trust these guys to do it for me.
theyve also agreed to price match the other guy which is good for me.
im awaiting for the repair panels to be delivered to me this coming thursday, so i hope t get my car back and deliver it to the new bodyshop that same day.
now i just need to get my GSi back....
bit of a bummer, as ive wasted 6weeks! but atleast i now know its going to be in much better hands

NO WAY I got all excited when i saw an update on the page I cant belive they've messed about with it and you!!! At least you've seen the other place restoring etc, so you know it will be done properly
