The Long Weight or Wait?

Remember when you were a young apprentice and one of your fellow workers sent you to the store for a "Long Weight"? Well that's what I am experiencing at the moment. Nothing has been done to the car in about six weeks.
My wiring harness has been in Victoria since June and no amount of prompting can get it repaired and returned which is really starting to annoy me.
I had some of my panels with a panel beater in town to have some repairs done, but insurance work takes precedence over everything else these days, so I got those panels back and fitted them to the car for another guy to look at doing the repairs for me. I found this guy through a friend, he runs a small spray painting business about 25 km from town and specialises in building hot rods and the like. He uses an old school panel beater who actually beats and heats the metal back into shape without using too much filler. He is going to complete the work on my panels for me starting after the Bathurst V8 races so I'm hoping to have all the panels finished and painted within a month or two. As for the wiring harness I think I need to get it back completed or not and send it to someone else if its not yet done.

Just gathering dust for the past 6 weeks.
