Well I went and picked up my kit on Friday morning. Westfield had not done the best of jobs packing and crating. The crate had the floor dropped out of it and parts were falling out as they fork lifted it onto my truck. I got it home and upon opening it saw the full extent of the damage: the nose fiberglas is shattered at the air intake, dzus fasteners are missing and popped out, the work stands came loose inside the crate due to poor packing and beat against the tail section cracking and chipping that. The base of the crate was broken away and the chassis was resting on the bare boards and the nails, this gouged the floors and warpped and dented the seat pans and the alloy side pods. There was no protective padding at all so when the car came loose it banged around in the crate and the crosspieces of the crate that came loose fell on the car scratching the gel coat. All things considered it's a real mess....
This being a weekend I can't say just what will happen next, but the US importer has seemed to be helpful and assures me this will be made good. I will keep you all informed as things develop. Anyone in the LA area who wants to stop by and see things is more than welcome, just drop me a line here and I will give you my address.
Just to complicate things, Westfield was sold this week to an investor group by the founding family.
