I'll be keeping this thread updated with the end result and the solution to these damaged parts...I also believe some of these parts look like they were damaged before shipping

Just tryna help a fellow TECH dude out
Turn a “how fuc$ed am I” thread into “strong combo
On the ultra budget” buildup.
He sent these to me. I did my thing. Gonna ship em back
And follow his build progress. Whatever happens from the seller
Of these; I got no comment. Just moving forward

A.R shale targa is an awesome guy and my build couldn’t be what it will be without his help and expertise. He saw I needed some help after getting fk and offered his time and it’s greatly appreciated. He and a few others is what makes this forum better then most. He’s going to help me out in some other areas of the build too and I’m going to keep this threaded updated as we go

Also the seller initially said he would assist me financially with the expense of making things right but after asking him for a measly 100 bucks (I have more then that invested in fixing these parts) he still hasn’t responded to me

Sounds like A.R. is the standup guy here, the seller, not so much. Count your blessings, my friend! A.R. is one of them.
