Got a laundry list of things to get done

New spoiler (old one was tweaked)
New front left 1/4 panel (weld mark under paint)
New panel behind pasenger door (weld mark under paint)
New door sill on driver door (old one bent)
Realinging of passenger door (doesn't want to close some time)


Hopefully they won't have it forever.

I need it back by the 14th of May.

oh, yeah. When I discovered the spoiler I'd owned it for a week. I had just washed and waxed it when I took it to the body shop for their reccomendation on the wing.

It was Kelton that pointed out all the flaws in the body work. He called the dealership and told them that these all needed to be fixed on Ford's dime. They wouldn't have been able to be seen on initial inspection (it was raining). But since I brought it to him on a bright sunny day with a fresh wax job all the flaws stood out.

It's just going to stink driving a loaner.

When you say weld mark do you mean an area of the body that was not properly sanded/prepped...like weld splatter or an uneven surface? With all that bodywork I'd have them repaint the entire car...

A weld mark from the back side of the metal which caused bubbly on the surface.

It's only two panels. And Kelton painted the spoiler a couple of weeks ago when it came in.
