You won't get your money back from selling it for sure, the markets slumped as the pandemic is over. Syncros are still going for daft money but thats about it.

£70?... Wow, my garage only charge £45 per hour. My friend has replaced a lot more panels and done a proper respray for that sort of money. It is the first I have heard of welding in fresh metal, and then covering with fibre-glass. Unless I am mis-understanding his use of the phrase fibre-glass in ...

Hopefully its something that simple for you..

It wouldn't take that long.. a day tops. E D I T After reading into what was done.. If they've done welding and fab work that's probably where the time and money went.
