My nightmare

Post by IMPI »

Sothis guy approaches me to build an engine 2 years ago
Pays me but doesnt pick up the engine
Asks me to rebuild the pan and drops of the pan
Image
Image
Image
Image
a bit of stone chip
Image
Image
adjustable front
Image
eventually after the pan is finished this stuff shows up
Image
The bolts were missing as wase almost every thing else I am sure commercial panel beaters must have a special corner in HELL
The wiring was cut every where main harness was in 6 pieces and S harnesses are not available anywhere....
their idea of masking the car
Image
Then the body turns up but right away I am disgusted under the bonnet boot and inside the car was covered in tar
Image
As far as the outside goes it wasnt to bad but fit and details oh wel the customer was happy
I hope to deliver this week and have taken it for a spin
Image
Image
Image
the cone fliter is not on yet
Image
Image
Image
And you wonder why my own cars never get finished LOL
