[NutterGQ]

try Mitchells

[Ruffy]

I have one embedded in my windscreen...... I was following this dude down the road and his tail gate was open, it then fell off, done three piroettes with a half pike twist, bounced up my bonnet and impaled my windscreen. Would you like it back?

[NutterGQ]

That's a talented gate.

[-Scott-]

Started off a little bit loose, but nailed the landing.

[built2redline]

Forget what you had, now is your chance to really wank up your car

[wyliespatrol]

cant any sheet metal shop bend you one up

maby $15-$20 for the sheet and 1/2 an hours work?

(it is a tray side is it not)

[RockyF75]

maby $15-$20 for the sheet

[lump_a_charcoal]

When you find that shop, let me know!

[wyliespatrol]

When you find that shop, let me know!

Full 2mm Zink sheet 1220 x 2440 = $78

find a work shop that has a 300mm or 400mm strip off cut from the length of the sheet and if they want more than $20 for it tell them were to go, as the sheet has already been payed for by the person that it was ordered in for to do the job in the first place.

There seems to be this real attitude problem with 4wd accessories and fabrications were everyone wants to charge the world for even simple products.

I don’t get it

I don’t get it

It's called economics
That $78 dollar sheet did not cost just $78
First somebody had to get on the phone and order it
Then there is delivery
He needs insurance since you may stub your toe picking the said steel up
If he bends it up you are looking at not cheaper than $40/hr (hourly rate plus workercomp plus super plus sundries)
His employees feel compelled to take every sickie they are entitled to (he still has to pay them despite them making him no money for that day)
These same employees expect toilet paper and soap (which they steal)
The workshop needs electricity and water which need to be paid for
He needs contents insurance in case your there casing the joint
His equipment has wear and tear and breakdown requiring maintainance
Theres the girl in office who answers the phone and does the wages, she wants to be paid too.
That receipt you got didn't print itself for free either

So the bottom line is if somebody else does something for you, as way of their business, there is associated expenses which you as a purchaser are expected to contribute too.
They are in business not charity

But doesn't the original $78 (which someone already paid for) cover those expenses? I would think they didn't pluck the price from thin air (I reckon some do though...). If not, I would imagine they wouldn't be making much money.

Anyway, I would rather buy a matching dropside then try and make one up.

[lump_a_charcoal]

I was hoping Christover would have created an animated dancing dropside by now...

[NutterGQ]

[built2redline]

[Clinto]

Michell Truck Bodies
1017 New England Highway
Nemingha
Ph: (02) 6760 9278

Correct Nemingha is a suburb just out of Tamworth NSW.

[r0ck_m0nkey]

Oh well, someone already jumped in, but using the correct spelling of their name to find them helps.

[NutterGQ]

now your just being a twat

as stated down lower all those expences are payed for by the orignal person that the sheet was purchested for

and to make money of selling something that is already sold is unfair

now dont get me wrong we all like money
but rember when you are in a bind in the bush and that bloke that you riped off RE SELING that bit of sheet to tells you to go f#@k your self
it will be $2000 to get you out
because
1. what if i trip over and hurt myself (thats $200 for insurance)
2. i will were my winch / snach out (thats $350 for winch reco)
3. were and tear ($500)
5. and i need to make a profit ($950) as i want to rip you

all i am saying is we should help one another out a 4wding is already costly enuf.

[stokedapollo]

i agrree that the sheet has been paid for
but when you walk inand ask for the ''scrap'' piece to be re cut re bent and what have you all those other points artenow in effect
yeah the whole 78$ sheet was paid for and the time it took to use wat was used etc but now we have a new piece of steel ""said scrap'' piece
now its not going to bend and cut itself to the side
so thatsmy lil say

[wyliespatrol]

alright agreed

so because hes got some sheet there that owes him nothing, he is supposed to give it to you for free, some random wanker that walks in off the street, probably never given him any work before, probably wont again, and just charge you a minimal charge for folding it up for you?

Yeh, right.

Mate looking interests makes me think that you wouldn’t help some one out if your life depended on it

(Fining asshats that drive around with empty rod holders. And no mudflaps!)

Yet this is a public forum so I guess that your opinion is acceptable

I was hoping this thread got lost when the server broke, but no, it is still the same old pissing match...

Put them away boys.
