Ed is a registered user over on Locostbuilders as well.

This same discussion has been going on over there this morning.

The long and short of it is this:

Ed is not Darren, I know this personally.

The reason the domain is set up and linked with GTS is Darren helped Ed set up the web hosting side of everything. Darren has experience of this, Ed doesnt.

The deal on bodywork is good. I built a Panther (those from LCB will know) and had no issues with supply or delivery. The bodywork fit and finish is excellent, though I cannot comment on the Haynes bodywork as I havent seen it. I have recently (in the last 3 months) had a new bonnet for my Panther and again fit and finish is spot on and delivery was on time.

Ed has helped a few people resolve long standing issues over non delivery of parts and as such has built up a good relationship with Darren. Most issues have now been resolved thanks to the work Ed has put in. I have helped a few people out as well, but Ed's done most of the work.

Darrens failing are in organisation and work management, not in quality. Having someone else to help organise orders etc for inhouse made parts is a great step forward and should see turn around times drastically improved.

Superlooms is Ed's own creation, and should be treated as such. The bodywork is GTS, but again with the additional support I think things will improve.
