In a pickle.

it's one thing to buy parts off people you don't know on the internet. it's another to blindly send your car to someone hundreds of miles away to do an engine swap.

yikes.

hope this works out for you, but i also hope you learned a lesson here.

Wait, why can't your dad rent the trailer for you? Did you have any kind of written agreement via the web, or on paper. I would say the next thing to do is call the city police and explain the situation.

The guy i bought the motor from (Mike) said he would do the swap for a very reasonable price, and after talking to him/looking at his threads on bf.c i trusted he was more than capable of getting it done.

If nobody closer wants to stop by, I guess that I could. Heck, if a couple of people want to go and finish the wiring on a Saturday I'd be down. Assuming, of course, that the wiring is the real issue and not just a ruse.

If anyone is serious about dropping by for me PM me and ill give you his address. Its in Fairfield NJ. I would really appreciate it, and happily hook you up with a few bucks for your time/troubles.

Also if anyone on here has a tow vehicle/trailer and is willing to pick it up for me i would cover your gas expenses, give you a place to crash, and a night of :drink::drink::drink::drink::drink:

I think that would be good ideal and have gino,tony and vinnie roll up and see whats what and pressure him and see if it is really still there.

WTF, this and Muccis theft all in 1 week?

We have a million NJ members. someone should step up and go see this guy. not to threaten or anything but make an appearance to see if the car is still there or what stage its in. If the guy knows there are people looking into it he is more likely to act

Mr. Blunt, you are looking especially fit and handsome in your new avatar photo!

I can also throw in a set of black sport seats. They are in good shape, some bolster wear on the driver side, but no tears.

I do hear the paint on that car is exquisite.

pretty fucked up situation. id get all written/email agreements together just in case this goes sour. at least he's been in contact with you still and hasnt just vanished from the face of the earth. definitely follow up with people who live in that area and want to help you out. good luck with everything.

[Joe G]

He sent me a facbook message telling me that he does still have the car and its not wrecked or stolen....but he continued to state that he doesn't have the time to bring it out here, even though that was part of our agreement.

My offer stands, any NJ/NY/PA person who tows it out will be reimbursed for their gas, given a place to crash, and i can give you a set of black leather sport seats, and or cash for your trouble. PM me if youd like to take me up on this.

Also if your near fairfield NJ and can go check on the car/put some pressure on him PM me and ill give you the address and something for your trouble.

why don't you ask for a photo with today's newspaper in the frame? I believe it's called, proof of life?
