Holy sh*t!!!

Judge Judy that ************!!! Let her rip into this POS, lol...

As for me, when going into a shop I know nothing about, I let the owner know that if he plans to **** me then let me know right then and there so I can move on, because if he does screw me then he better know God on a VERY personal level and his medial insurance better be paid up; I don't bother with Cops or the Courts...

I had this ************ in Miami try to **** me on some turbos that I bought for my 3000GT VR4; well he got away with it for about 6 months, that is till I blew a head gasket and found out that the turbos installed were NOT what I ordered. I went to his shop, walked right up to the counter, where he was talking to some potential customers, and jerked his ****-*** right over the top and laid his *** right on the floor. Needless to say, he quickly seen the errors of his ways and not only refunded me half my money, but also gave me the correct turbos. I will treat everyone with respect, but once you **** me..... RUN!

With all this energy that you are putting into this car, I hope it has a CLEAN title. Good Luck man, hope it all works out for you!

Well I am from the Miami Street, lol, one of the only white boys from Liberty City **Pork 'n' Beans**, so some of us do things a little differently

Well good for you man! I hope that **** gets put in his place! Let us know the outcome regardless of what happens; and if the courts fail you, then just buy me a plane ticket, cover my room and meals and donate to my Bird Rebuild and I will get your money back for ya

Damn right Bro!!!

Not sure what you guys have there in Manteno, IL, but here in Miami we have the Everglades, lol... Tell a ************ that he's going to be taking a trip to the "Holy Lands" ( a Baaaaad area of the Glades) and they quickly understand what they need to do.


Oh... and it's DM for short... That or GOD

New inner fender



Bumper support installed after frame corrected




Welds being corrected
Before


After


Shitty heat extractor job

I'd get my **** back and take it elsewhere. Theer is no excuse for it to take this long. I had a body shop hold my car for over year to do all the bodywork and repaint it. When I got it back, it looked like ****, even had bugs stuck in the clear coat.

Default update

Well...I went to small claims court on 7/29 and won the case, but mos def not really by default even tho the dude didn't show up!! I basically had to plead my case without the defendant in court. I thought that was a pretty shitty move. The judge was tryin to make it seem as tho I was just tryin to juice this guy for cash and I had all the proof possible, for which she showed no interest :wtf: I honestly think that dude not showing is the only reason I won....which is sad, but the bottom line is I won!! Now I gotta wait 30 days from the date of judgement for his payment and if he has not paid by then, I gotta go get court assistance in getting it back......sux.
