i've ground most of the dodgy filler back so it should be fine. i don't like cutting corners but money is an issue. it should be fine though.

You can't just do what you want to a customers car either. You've been given a job, so you are doing it. I think the lad would be pissed off if he picked it up and it had the stock gear on it...
