I was planning to get my tank back in and get the car running this weekend. I had the tank lined, and I got a pump, filter, lines, etc. etc. etc. I had to order a couple of things from vendors here.
Vendor 1: I ordered brake lines from one company last weekend. I never heard anything. I called them today with the order number to check on it. "Uh, we can ship that today." I asked for my PayPal payment back. They said they would refund it, but they haven't yet. I'm certain I'll be calling them again. If they can lose my order, they can forget to refund my money. Vendor 2: I ordered a 5 piece fuel line. I got 4 pieces. Perfect. I'm all for vendors succeeding, but hey, if I send you my money, you should work hard to get it right. Oh well. Rant mode off. |

At least you have a car in your garage. My "mechanic" has had my car for 3 1/2 weeks. After THREE sets of HEs, my heads are so effed up that he volunteered to pay to rebuild new ones. That said, he bought 2.0 heads and so my car sat while he sent mine to the machine shop. I wanted to drive to the G & R swap to prove that I actually own a 914. (even though it is a work in progress) I'm not holding my breath that it will be done today even though I gave a "cash" incentive.
I thought having a good running 1.7 while I finish the 2056 was a good idea…... |
