Injured Zed - Update

Recommended Posts

Well, some of you may remember my Injured Zed thread, where some bloke had mashed my drivers door during the recent high winds.

 

I took the Zed to see Dave Latham (Denttec) the other week, and he did a pretty good job :)

 

It started off like this; (basically a 7/8 inch selection of dents down the middle of the door, going from the crease bit, to beneath the crash bar thingy.)

Dave was sceptical, and suggested that it would never be perfect :scare:

After several hours, which included taking off the inner door card for better access (thanks Dave :) ) he did an excellent job.

 

Unfortunately, one persistent dent sort of remained, inaccessible due to the weighty crash bar thing. However, it's barely noticable on a good day, let alone a normal day.

 

It now looks like this;

All in all, Dave did an excellent job. He was unhappy with the final result and charged £50 rather than the quoted £75. To be honest, I am pretty pleased with the result. The photos don't really do it justice. It's one of those things where you have to look to find it, it's in no way obvious - which is good stuff :)

 

Lessons Learned:

 

1. Windy days - reciepe for pain and suffering :angry:

2. Denttec are excellent, fair and very hardworking B)

Ive still to get one sorted on mine, its about 6 inch behind the door though, so no idea whether there is a way in with the tools. Possibly may be a route in from above with the roof cover lifted.

 

There have been several reports of excellent work from Denttec on here, and its where Ill be taking mine without a shadow of a doubt.

He's a top bloke, and very fair. That's twice he helped me out now :)
