Can be just as painful as being nailed to a cross. Ah, hope there are no Christian fundamentalists on here, or I'm toast

Re: Take off underseal? Maybe worth checking that you're not being charged rent for 'storage'?  Joking aside, someone's taking you for quite some ride.  It might be interesting to compare the hours claimed to have been spent on your car with Citroen's recommended invoicing times for these jobs... ken toomany2cvs wrote: Justint wrote: 2 new cylinder heads, regrinding same.

Re: Take off underseal? well, it is a 28 year old car and most of the stuff has never been done. Also it looks like someone did a certain amount of work and either gave up or did it wrong. I think when I get it back apart from some cosmetic detail it is going to be solid. And good for another 28 years!

I don't want to be a Knob here or anything, but you wont get near the amount required to cover the cost of the work. You should keep it! these cars thrive at this time of year more than any other.
