"We'll be able to take it in around 12 months, Les. We're booked solid at the moment." "That's just not acceptable L. It's needs to happen within the next couple of months - George has been very patent during the last couple of years, but we need to make a start on the body now.

"You won't be required to paint it. I'll organize that. You can see it's not a complete rust bucket, so it wont be a massive job." "It's still a big ask Les..." "WHEN L?" "I'm thinking Les." I looked at my diary... "Ugh... End of Feb - maybe I could squeeze it in then, but...." "I'll have it ready for you to collect then, L." "This is a massive favor, you realize Les? I'm going to have to postpone a customer." "I understand buddy.

Les's team had stripped it down to a bare rolling shell and it was going to be our job to media blast it and perform the rust repairs. This is how I received it: It went up on the rotisserie for blasting, and this is what we got back...
