Good to know, since it looks like he's gonna be working with me. He got laid off a while back, now he's gonna have a better job with more money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I can't wait, I'm so backlogged I really need his help.

he was fired from his teaching job, sexual harrasment, thats what he told me. stand up guys dont take the money you advance them and then run off working on his buddies sandrails for two weeks, then takes off for two weeks to pismo, leaving me with no ne to work on my car after he was advanced all the money, then he gets back and tells me it is too cold to work in his shop, then he tells me he has to work on other cars to bring money in (he sepnt all the money I advanced him, so no I am on the back of the list cause I paid first, nice logic)

then he tears apart my perfectly fine trunk on my 356 with plasma tourch, totally unauthorized, and wrong then he tells me he can fix it back again, trys for about four months just wasting time, then finally I tell him to not fix it, but replace it right, but he will only pay for half the $1000 battey box / trunk cost, then he after I buy it, he tells me he cant even pay the $500 , then he goes back to the doors he worked on many month before (and was paid for) and we fine they dont fit,

then he goes and drills thirty holes in my good trunk lip after I told him to stop work on the trunk, totally unneeded, it was a butchered job, morte damage.

then I show up to meet him to discuss the car (an hour drive for me each way) and he tells me he needs a lunch beak first eats while on the computer for half an hour) then he tells me he needs to go round the block to pick up some carb cleaner, (didn;t we schedual this time???) and dont show back for aver half an hour, cuase he decide to drop off his bootles for recycling, so I am left cooling my heels waiting for him, he gets back, work on a wled for a few minutes then goes to the bathroom for like 15-20 minutes, then comes out all red eyed and stinking like weed welds for a couple minutes and then tells me he cant work on my car any more.

meanwhile three-four months prior my 914 also in his shop is smashed on both left fenders, but he never told me, till I take a look at it, and fine the rear fender punched in, yet pulled out (oil canned) he tells me ," oh that happened when things were beign moved around, I'll take care of it, I aske him how and he simply ignores the questsion and just says I'll take care of it.

you know I had to buy five door bottoms for my 356 he ruined three of them, all cut up and wrong, and he insisted that I pay for the damaged metal. there was no end to it.


drug have taken it's toll on this guy. dishonesty and inability to work, refusal to follow good welding procedures (yes I asked him not to pour water on the over heated wleds as it was rusting the body and warping the metal, yet he kept doing it.

I am out near $10,000 in money paid to him, and have two cars badly damaged by him.

and he refuses to reply to emails other than that he needs to get his ends together, what ever that means, it dont sound like he will be able to make good on anything.

he was advanced money and went and partied with his friends, he refused to work on the car he was paid to work on, excuses excuses, then he wants me to pay for the damages he did, that drugged out evening with the plasma cutter did near $2000 in damages, the trunk was just fine before he decided it "looked wrong to him" yet when he saw photos of other 356's he says opps, and then wastes my time for several months trying to fix the mess. way over his head,


runaway from this guy, poor work,, theft, hit and run, crappy attitude, all at a one stop shop.
