Vette(s): 1981 Red Interior White exterior
When last we met...
As you remember, or probably not, I was having a Craigslist mechanic put the new crate engine in my 81 Vette. I was unable to do this on my own due to recently moving and not having the time or space to complete the job. It would have been better to rent a garage and done it myself!
He managed just about all the work, from proper instalation to proper sart up procedures. There is no part of the job that he seems to have gotten right.
I ended up taking him to court and winning...woohoo. Now just try collecting...
After getting some help from a buddy we are know able to start the car, by jumping the starter because the ignition won't work.
All thats left is exhaust replacement, ignition work and alignment(the entire front suspension was replaced and the rear trailing arms were restored) and the $$$
Dave C..........My mantra: I can not be bought!! Long and short term leases available.
In the words of Zora Arkus-Duntov "Is your seat belt fastened? Alright, Let's go"
Yeah, I know, Shut up Dave.
