if i was you i would get his ass, why did you wait a year? after 2 weeks i would have been either:


a-finding him and demanding a finish
b-filing a police report for whatever charges i could
c-not waiting a year to do either

Well now I now what they mean when they say that the cops are allways there when your don't need them and never around when you do.

I called three different people yesterday at the police station, and no one would help me. So I called a private inspector , which was a lot cheaper than I thought. The P.I. said he'd call me back in two days with a list of adresses.

I FOUND HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in shock right now .................. I'm mean really ... I've been looking for this guy for about 8 months , and I found him. Oh and he still has all of my parts. I have been staring at that car wondering what it was going to look like , and now it might actually be finished. The car has been sitting in my driveway for allmost a year and I've probably driven it 3 or 4 times because I wanted to wait until it was done and now ............ I just can't belive it ......................


.....................BEERS FOR EVERYONE........................

I have made up a checklist of everything that needs to be done to have the car complete , its a pretty big list. So I went through and ordered everything that I didn't have allready. The main thing was is when I bought the motor the guy gave me a E5 ecu for a redtop motor, and I think thats why my TPS never worked, so I'm going up to sterling monday morning to swap out the ECU's. I've deff. got a couple of things I need to get straight shouldn't take but a week or so though, then off to paint (once again).

I cant wait to get started , I will post everything........

Hey man I would be careful leaving your car with him for paint. He might decide to dip on you again.

I know right!!!!! I'm scared to death about leaving it with him , I wish there was some type of personal LO-JACK I could put on the car. Like a little gps dot you could track on your computer. If anyones knows of something like it let me know , I'll buy it just to make sure he can't take te car.

I've allways been too trusting in people , I don't care if it was mother Theresa painting the car I'm NOT takeing any chances. The good thing is , is that in doing all of that research trying to find the guy I know the numbers, and current addresses of just about everyone in his family.

2 questions

#1: The heater coil hoses are all f'ed up because their just peiced together and leeking, I would like to get some that come out under the intake and go streight into the firewall , (sr20 in s13) any sugestions?

Don't know if these will work http://www.frsport.com/OEM-Heater-Co...ET_p_8951.html

#2: I have to decide on a paint , this a big thing to me, cause I don't want it to not be bright enough, and I don't want it to be so bright it looks tacky. I deff. want a metalic blue , but what type of paint I hve no idea.
