Customer brings me a car after a couple phone calls with hope of helping him sort it out & prioritize repair efforts.
Characterized it as an "Ex-Race car" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) so was curious as to what would show up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) OMG!! Im so sad to see the butchery done to this poor car..& whats more I have to communicate to this new owner that the car isn't safe to drive due to the significant rot, poor repairs & wacky "updates" the the PO did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) any money spent on it (IMO) would definitely be good money after bad. Im all for anything can be fixed but often common sense must prevail (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |

You did the right thing, with the VW bug guys (mostly) I've often refused to work on crusty cars. As soon as every 2nd bolt you touch snaps you're in a no win situation.
I have a 996 C4S here that snapped several bolts, exhaust, head, sway bar mount, etc. done a bunch of M8 timeserts and M6 helicoils, still have 6 more broken/rotted out studs on the exhaust header to cat pipe to do. Very poor maintenance, what started as a IMS Solution install and water pump is fast approaching a $15+K major service. |
