Good idea. This damn weather is really killing my motivation to go out the the garage and finish the project. All I need to do is the oil drain wastegate and downpipe.

No excuses. I just finished up on my dd Ford Probe GT this weekend outside, in these on/off showers, in my driveway the following.

front/rear struts
front strut bearings
front/rear sway bar links
ball joints
inner/outer tie rod ends

Now get that thing finished up so we can see what she can do.

I wouldn't pay full price. Is there a contract of service saying when it would be done at all? I'd contact the BBB.

Yea forsure im really getting frustrated at this point

 

[dynedta]

bro you really have to becareful in this situation, id go check out the situation asap. I had the same sort of situation when I had a shop do a full build on my fbody. They kept pushing the completion day back until one day I showed up unknown to find nothing had even been started and they actually were selling suspension parts off my car to finish other customer cars. I know this a extreme case but some shops these days you really have to camp out in their parking lot to make sure things are getting done.

 

[92spoolin']

I agree go check on it I had mine sitting at a local shop for about 2 months they told me they were really busy with other cars I understood and wasn't really in a hurry. I had already put down a payment on it as well to kinda speed up the process not the full amount but a decent down payment. I went to go check on it just to see they said they had gotten behind so it would be another week. Make a long story short I went back after a month still was sitting in the same place and they hadn't even made a work order for it I just got fed up with it and did it myself. Atleast blow up their phone and then show up randomly make sure you get something in writing from them.

 

[goonie90gsx]

Yea im gunna go there tomorrow n talk to the guy cus im only getting some simple machine work done nothing that should take over a month to do.

 

[mindset]

Yeah this sucks Goonie. Had they finished their job you probably would have had a chance to make it to the meet with the dsm.

For real man. It's a half day job for putting piston on rods and then decking a block WTF

 

[goonie90gsx]

called the machine shop this morning and the guy said he had been backed up with other jobs and was finally caught back up and would be starting the milling on my block today, and he said it should all be done this week so i guess ill see what happens this week.

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

Well fellas, it looks like we'll have to move the date for this back once again. But, it will give some of us (ahem... Goonie, bwhite) some more time to make it out.

The opening day is now Saturday, April 30th which we could do, or if everyone wants it on Friday we could do Friday, May 6th. Here's the link once again for more information.
