jap Unregistered J	Well, its back and it absolutely STUNNING. I went to pick it up tonight and John had definitely been working hard to make it look minty. He'd apparently been mopping it all day. You could tell. It looked like a completely brand new car. Shame I had to drive it home in the dark and the rain. I'll take some pictures tomorrow after its been leathered off (if it ever stops raining) and post them up. Looking forward to the spring now - Damn rain! James Last edited by jap; 21/11/2007 03:31.

jap Unregistered J	Yes you can definitely tell Johns very proud as he hands the car back. Sorry I've been slow getting pics posted up. I've been ill for the last couple of days and just starting to get a bit more mobile now. They'll be here soon I promise. James

Should be a bit better than good, at that sort of money, shouldn't it? Let us know how you get on....plenty of people on here rate this guy.

jap Unregistered J	Well - its back and its absolutely MINT $\:#$ . I just can't fault it in any way at all. The small problem I had was down to me hurrying John at the end for me to have my car back. I should have eased up I know (as the finishing is so important) and I should have given John another day or two. Anyway, John didn't quibble at all and gave the car a good dose of TLC so he could get it truly minty. I've now waxed the car and been over it with a fine tooth comb and honestly cant find one single niggle at all. The finish is like glass and the car looks damn fine. John even repainted the rocker cover (well, a spare I gave him) to the colour of the car. No extra charge. $\:D$ I really can't recommend Euroeast and John highly enough. He is a true gentleman and an utter perfectionist. I can recommend without any hesitation. James $\:\)$
