Glad I could help!

So seriously, what major drama surrounds the car that needs attention to allow it to be driven?

thats pretty funny, here i'll get it off my mind before i really get pissed. for the last 11 years i have been selling parts to people. not only do i sell used parts, i take the parts off, i clean the :q:q:q:q out of everything i sell, i spent 7 hours on your motor alone, do you know what i got out of that sale, 0
i spent hours on top of hours cleaning parts, inspecting them, i even have installed parts for free that people have bought, i have delivered parts people have bought without charging for fuel, i go out of my way alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the time for everyone and try to make the best deal for them, but then lately countless times i have either bought stuff or traded stuff to people for stuff i need and every :q:q:q:qing time i work a deal out with someone it either doesnt go through or i end up with :q:q:q:q that is worse than what needed to be replaced. for 3 weeks i have been trying to get this car finished for my wife, and time after time after time i take 2 steps forward and i do something to it or get stuff for it and i have to take 10 steps back. i'm so sick of feeling like i am the only one putting any effort into making others happy and i am constantly getting :q:q:q:qed over. i pissed away almost 100 bucks this past weekend for stuff i needed for the car and i am basically out the 100 bucks and still no further with the car than i was friday before the weekend. i'm sick of it thats all bill this is the :q:q:q:q that happens to me time and time again and i never say anything and then when i post up :q:q:q:q like i am not dealing with the car parts anymore now you can understand why, pretty simple i can only take it for so long before i speak up.


the car still needs a passenger side front strut.
upper and lower control arms
end links
strut rod bushings
rear shocks
i have to dismount and mount new tires on it
i have to pull the column and fix the potentiometer
the transmission is leaking
neon needs a ballast

all :q:q:q:q i cannot do right now
 
Really thats all minor and easily fixable stuff. None really keeps the car off the road too. So what if the ball joints pop. You can tell the difference between a noisy one and one thats on the verge of failure. Neon is unimportant. Trans leak? So what, mine leaks on both ends right now. You said it was minimal so screw it. Old cars leak. Strut rod bushings? Really? I have several sets sitting on my shelf..... somewhere, you have to have some too. Hell let me look for mine and I will trade ya for that fuse cover.... and those seat bolt covers you promised me 7 months ago. Rear shocks? Again, so what they only dampen and I am sure they are still usable. Mine are shot and can easily collapse by hand, still the car is usable. Passenger side air shock? I have one that leaks out in a few days (wont over night) and again if its better then yours I will send it.

As for the motor, dont fuggin guilt trip me. Thank you for that help. I have thanked you many times but when you do something nice (like that) for someone it kinda gets diminished when you bish about doing it latter.

I know about the many nice deeds you have done for others and I applaud that. Sorry times are tight but step back, take a breath and realize the stuff on the car is minor and easily fixable. I hope things get better for you, I really do.
 
i wasnt guilt tripping you on the motor jesus christ half of you cant understand anything i type and as far as ball joints dude my :q:q:q:qing kids are gonna be in this car i am not putting my kids in an unsafe car, the front end is unsafe. the car is not road worthy. listen, if i intended on giving it to my wife in such a piece of :q:q:q:q state, why would i have gotten rid of the 93, i didnt need to drop money on one car that wasnt road worthy to get another car that wasnt road worthy. and i dont want a strut that leaks, i have 3 :q:q:q:qing struts that leak, thats what destroyed a rebuilt compressor in the 610 mile trip i made, i'm not gonna keep burning up compressors just so she can drive it what :q:q:q:qing sense does that make? i am not half ass, there is no way i'm giving her a car that i dont feel comfortable giving her yet thats not how i work. my point about me doing things for people and cleaning :q:q:q:q and going the extra mile was not a guilt trip by any means. i guess i'll stop this thread since no one is gonna have the comprehension needed to understand what i am getting at here.

That's kinda what I was thinking! But it's not my car, so it's your business! But hey man I sent the strut out once with the wrong address on it and I said I would do it again but you said you would had one! I think this thing is perfect too! If you still need it then say so, I don't give a :q:q:q:q about the strut at all! I'll send it to you and if mine goes out the next day I won't even say :q:q:q:q to you about it! ;) Just let me know!!!
 
I hope the car works out for you man, at least you could sell it for a profit if needed... Your a good guy, I hope the best for ya.
