Ive got a car that i sent to a shop for a engine swap almost a year ago. I got quoted on a price. the price was agreed to and the car was sent to the shop. I had the donor car brought in and they took the engine out and everything. Then they started work on the car receving the swap and took the engine out. Then for some reason all work had stopped. I wasnt really in a rush to get the car back beacuse the guy said he was swamped with work. my car sat outside with no engine for almost 3 months. I waited waited and waited but he still never finished my car. Now im in a tight stiuation. Money is tight and i need this car back im willing to do the swap myself but dont really want to fork out the money to pay for work that he never finished. Is there any legal binding contract that says i have to pay him for unfinished work? or can i just go pick up the pieces to my car and put it back together my damn self.
