That's the way I think...think of the worst case scenario, and if you get it back earlier, you'll be happier :D.

phong =P~

Yep, i'm guessing i'm going to have to wait it out and just forget about it. But its coming up to nearly 7 weeks now? And i don't really want to start anything, as i don;t want them to get the s**t on with me and rush to finish it. Plus the fact that they're a sponsor of FordMods makes it a touchy situation.

Fordmods sponser - should not be your concern.
They took on the work - 7 weeks should be able to see some progress....
Or at least be able to advise you on what they are trying to do to get your car working.
im not saying they are not doing their job or anything as i only can see what is posted here about your car.

Being a Fordmods sponsor should only be a concern to them. We all get to see how long it takes them to actually do such a job, and they lose out big time if they piss f@rt around with it. Think of how many people would be interested in a DOHC conversion if this works...

You've been nice, which is the decent thing to do, but don't let it stand in the way of getting what you paid for. Business is business...

being a fordmods sponsor, and being a 17 page long thread you would expect this would be some what on there priority list, i mean all these members looking at what kind of job they can do, them pro-longing the job just means the loss of potential customers, its there call, but if it were me and i had this community looking on i would get my a** into gear and get it out running and running reliably... if you get it running, quick and reliably, you'd be almost a hero among here, but taking a long period not only make you seem lazy, but uninterested. this is only my opinion...
but hey, i hope you get your car back and quick now... its been a lengthy progress, and one i'm quite interested in :)

I'd be sending them a link to this thread Matt, so they can see what sort of image they're creating for themselves...

Having said that, custom work always gets blown out of the water at lots of workshops.

Yeah i live about three hours away from the workshop, so it's a bit of an inconvenience to go have a look. I didn't end up coming to Perth this weekend, mate couldn't get a car to tow his up there, so with any luck i'll be up there next saturday.

EDIT: Oh, and if you're in there Schnoods, can ya have a quick sticky for us?
