for real huh...LOL

all of my glass is missing, they say the scirocco sunroof was painted, but i dont know if all the hardware is there with it so i can install it, the rear bumper was supposed to be shaved, and the all the dents were supposed to be fixed, the fuel door is still dented.the Rad support was supposed to be shaved, and from the pics i dont even think its painted

you'd think after almost two years it would be absolutely perfect...im waiting for the lawyer to call me back to see if i have a case.

the worst part is the car is still in washington and i am in Cali

Damn, was it a Waaco paint job? I mean to remove all the glass then not re-install it, or have to safely tucked into the body... and not fillining in the dents.......... Wow sounds like they finally said, we need to get this outta here before we close up.... and well.... Glad it is back in your possession.... you need to post the name of the body shop so that others may know the quality of their work......

Damn, that sucks and is good at the same time. Sucks the work to be done wasn't, but glad it will be making it's way back to you where you can start setting things in proper direction.

Can't see the dents from the pic, but man that paint is crazy shiny and purdy :eek:

Sucks it will prollie have to get scuffed up do to dents. The loss of the glass is a real kick in the teeth though. Rocco sunroof parts I might be able to help with. I'll look into it and tell ya what I have (parts car isn't at my house).

Glad to hear from ya again, hopefully next report won't be so long from now.

yeah hopefully it wont be too long before i get it down here, its gonna be 1200 to have it shipped down here, and i have to pay my friends shop to put the engine back in so it can be shipped, not to mention im trying to buy a house....

did i mention im back in California officially now :)
im making good money, but im not able to save just cause im paying off bills and dealing with the paint shop.

the name of the shop is Dreamwerks, they are in Snohomish, WA....if you got the Feb 2008 PVW, its the same shop that did the green golf with tan interior on airbags

gotta love it when you get your car back and the paint shop kept all the little odds and ends....(nuts and bolts for example)
