Well I paid off the owner, paid the wrench via a credit card....still no car. They noticed alignment issues and it's still there.
I have yet to see a good pic of it or the engine......geez, dealing with wrenches that you know only by rep is a bit unnerving. When I heard of the alignment issues I asked how far they were from Steve Alarcon in Torrance......very frostily he informed me that HIS shop did not hold a candle to their's.......welllllll exsqueeeeeze me...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) Not like I have ever been in YOUR shop.....I bought this off ebay.....geeez. Oh well, maybe Friday........ STILL HAVE THAT 74 taking up space.......it RUNS and is a 2.0......did I mention that? |

OK Gint....it's in the archives but ONLY for you.....
An ebay item came up for a 914/6 conversion....no pics, claims 30k invested....couple people looked and did not bite....Ferg (a lister) emailed the guy, got the wrench imfo..... Seems like the 2.7 did a major rebuild at one shop....got dragged to another and developed a 4500 bill. THAT bill did not make the disclosure on ebay....I sent secret agent Aaron down to scope it out.....he pronounced it not gonna cause hearttburn....the wrench, an aqua...uh fiend of Aaron's was a little frosty to callers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) I gots receipts from a rep shop for 10 K on the engine alone.....plus a lot of other stuff.....it ran last week....but had undisclosed alignment issues..... Read between the lines....gonna pick it up Friday. So, I either gonna have a hard time esplaining to Lucy or a good deal....will let ya know. |
