Steve
It's happened to me twice Sean. First time got up for the loo in the night, collapsed and smacked my head on the bedside table. Second time embarrassing to say, was sat having a pee and collapsed landing half in the bathroom, half on the landing. @jue1 bless her had to get my dignity back into place and stayed by my side till I came too. Scared me and jue witless both times. Relax a bit mate, your body needs a break, as did mine.
Thanks for that mate, nothing like that has ever happened before and to be honest I thought it was my heart, I have been over doing it a bit trying to get the Z done as well as some normal work and started a fitness regime about 5 months ago so I have been hitting the gym on most evenings on a restricted diet, its rediculous really because the Z won't be going on the road until April but I'm getting carried away with it.
First time I went down Jue thought I'd died. Scared the life out of her. Becareful with the diet. I did the same in the summer. I was quiet a big chap heading for 18st. Strict diet of very little fat and in the gym 3-4 days a week. Ended up in hospital for 9 weeks really ill having 2 operations and god knows how many drugs pumped into me. I ended up looking like this.
I wish Andy, we charge £30 per hour, so £3330, still not bad though, its cost me about £200 in materials so far.@ £80 per hour that's £8880! Well worth having those skills.
Wow! That's cheap! Still a good saving though.I wish Andy, we charge £30 per hour, so £3330, still not bad though, its cost me about £200 in materials so far.
We are generally busy as the business was set up 32 years ago so have some good repeat customers but we also look after a few dealers, the main one is Westgate Honda, Seat, VW Proton, a lot of the cars are brand new with delivery mileage so have to be on the button, however, its always nice to have a big job to drop onto when things go quiet, we have a Triumph stag at the minute, just come in for a full restoration, including new hood and interior, its a V8 auto but we are also converting it to manual.Well I'll be interested to see your car done Sean. I'm sure your going to get some business from this.
We mainly work on price for the public Tony and you are correct that it generally works out a bit higher then £30 ph, if its a renovation the customer gets the option of a quote or £25 per hour.TBH £30 per hour is a very competitive rate Sean for the dealers but I'd have thought to the Joe public it should be more going on what the rates are in Lincoln. I bet you're always busy!
Tony.
One of the conditions of the £25 ph is that the restoration will be taken at our pace and could be months before its done, so basically we drop on it when things go quiet.That sounds like a very fair way of doing it Sean. A place I used to work in Lincoln always had a "no rush" project n the body shop to fall back on, having said that they invariably got finished at a bit of a gallop as time does creep up on you.
Tony.
