I think that you need to get down there and get it sorted out with them about what is going on. Even if they were waiting for spare parts from abroad the job should only take 4 weeks tops and at the very least they should be keeping you informed of the progress. If after speaking with the garage you're still having no joy then contact the insurance company who will advise you of your next step.

There is something very wrong with that body shop. I think most body shops could if they put there mind to it build from scratch a new frame and body for your car in 42 weeks.When I say from scratch i mean start with flat steel plates and go from there.
I think you should contact the auto association the better business people and a lawyer.
This car of yours is in the twilight zone not a body shop.

are all insurance companys crooks?


If your car was used in some sort of commercial venture, ask the insurance company to supply you with a specialized vehicle that meets your needs. For example, I own a towing company, and would have to be given a tow truck while mine was being repaired. That is the one thing you can insist on.

If they have it after 2 years and you have made no legal approach by then under the law of gift-offerings the car would be legally theirs!
