Car is Black manual with Brenbo's and blue / black trim, 25,000 kays on it. Build number 001, WA rego is AW59WA. Love to chat with the new owners if possible, prior to handing their charred remains over to the powers that be.

As soon as the prick walked away she called hubby, cops and then parked right behind it. Luckily hubby got there first and was able to discuss the issue breifly with the car theif before the police arrived to take him away. It turns out that the car had a boot load of stolen goods as well as some little white bags of something, and about twenty mobile phones. There was a bag of rags and a bottle of petrol on the passenger seat too, looks like he got it in the nick of time. Alls well that ends well!

Apparently he got it after a bit though.

Hey, an important thing to remember with some panel shops. They do not always hire people with degrees nor are they commonly known for being heavily populated by deep thinking articulate philosopher types. I have met some very switched on clever and talented panel and paint guys over the years, but i know a hell of a lot more who are drongoes quite capable of backing a car off a hoist while it's six foot in the air too.

Ha that reminds me of a previous boss i had that stripped his plymouth baracuda 440 six pack on a two poster hoist. He spent weeks stripping it back,fitted ultra rare nos quarter panels, floor panels etc, and had the car dent and rust free. Had it sitting on the two poster fully stripped and proceded to remove he last part on it - the steering box. This caused the front to become lighter than the rear and the ol cuda aimed for the stars and then slid backwards off the hoist,falling/bouncing about 4-5ft straight onto its bum. Kinked his brand new 1/ panels both sides. not happy jan.
