Well
The Cosmos Eagle is now being stripped, cut apart & sorted properly
A tip, don t go to inspect a car coming out of the body shop when your recovering from a operation, and on crutches!!!!
Last thing I am wanting to do is post a rant re the previous bosy shop, I will keep that off the forum.
But outline:-
I am trying to get a full refund off the body shop concerned.
I cant afford going the legal route re money (MR2 & Guitars take all that)
Im not sure if the small claims court is worth a try, I will investigate.
I have presented the Body Shop concerned all the information photographs & opportunity to inspect at the new shop.
We shall see, but thanks to Matt Clarke in Walsall, Gavin-John Earnshaw for putting me in touch with Will Barker In Bradford for all their help obtaining rear sections for me to rebuild her.
Once Carl starts sending photos I will post them up charting the progress of the Cosmos Lady getting back to full beauty
examples of underneath the rear bumper
More
So shocking workmanship
with these
And other parts taking the opportunity to replace the rear cross member with this powder coated one
and some other goodies
I might even get these fitted Ive had lying around for years (I did buy them for Wilki the Younger when he had the Cosmos

HI the Cosmos "Phoenix" is now in the spray shop
I still have a further communication to send to the previous cowboys! Colonel Huruph thanks for your help
So hopefully in a week or so should be able to take her home & get her put back together, while shoe like this I am hoping there will be pennies left to spruce up the sofa & chairs inside:-)
Will update ASAP
regards Brian

Re: Project - Cosmos Eagle (New owner)
well shes back, just need to put all the trim back to get it MOT'd
quick pics not even had a wash!
she found a friend on her travels
All solid metal now any rust cut out for what its cost me, phew... she should be good for another 20Years
I can start putting some nice goodies on, one thing im finding difficult is finding tryes for 16" 205/45x16 & 225/45 x16 that aren't a king ransom or ditch finders!

Re: Project - Cosmos Eagle (New owner)
HI Ryan
Yep this guy does them as covers so you can replace yours, i did a seat swap he re did his own, & i took him mine down
He repainted the runners the plate underneath everything a top job, a lovely chap too.
I realised how much mine had "submarined"

Those eastern Europeans are some of the hardest working people I've ever met. The guys doing my bodywork on the car run a garage next door to my recording studio. Their standard of work is incredible. I also have a polish who works for me as a guitar tech. Again, his standards really are the highest.

Looks amazing mate. Totally swaying me to go the same colour!!
Re: Project - Cosmos Eagle (New owner)
I approve
I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
