bwaaarcode 1 Report post Posted August 31, 2011 There's a dodgy workshop that I frequent occasionally (not by choice) and there's always 3 or 4 cars up on ghetto "stands" comprised of one rim stacked sideways on top of another. Oh, and then there's this one guy - I swear every time I walk in - who's job seems to be pouring petrol while smoking cigarettes Oh and half the workforce are 12 year olds... but they seem to enjoy it.

If the rims are actually welded together it is not a bad way (if you dont give a phuck about your sills / wrecking the car). Pretty sure most pick-a-parts do it this way as well.

polley 916 Report post Posted August 31, 2011 Compensation? There's a lot of simpletons around when you think about it. Nah, I just pushed it out later when I had found out. Lesson learned tho, got to keep an eye on people when you have to let other people work on your car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
