Really upsetting when something like this happens, your pride and joy (maybe) some one is meant to be sorting it out, but instead leaves you out of pocket, and still useless. I am sure the members on here will give you advise and lend a hand where necessary to get this car finished now. Tbh there is no exuse for what he has done to you, he has taken an unexpected new member under his wing and taken full advantage.
he appears to be a grade A pr1ck, i really hope you get the outcome your after, i got shafted out of £20 once and was fuming let alone the xxxx amount you gave him for that bodge attempt
Close up pics of the welding buddy.
My shell welding started out shat, but after some training in work, and loads of practice, I can do pretty much anything now lol
Maybe not THE neatest, but its neat, and strong.

Lesson to be learnt is not to pay people upfront and definetly don't pick up a car after half a job is done :roll: excluding the majority of your parts.
I hope you are going back to his house to collect these bits and not going to fork out for some new bits from elsewhere? 100miles is nothing, get your bits back and do the project yourself. You will learn more, enjoy doing it and show to people that this LET guy is a waste of time.
However if he refuses to give you your bits i doubt you can do anything about it legally. Taking the car when it wasnt finished was a very silly idea and just makes things for these guys to con people more often. It's the same with CS, he will love it on there with all the stupid buyers out there.
But since the guy is dodgy, would you really want to leave your car with him any longer - could end up with no parts left on it at all.Quote:

If i hadnt paid the money upfront and depending on how the guy co-operates i would of paid him the money for the parts and refused to pay him for any labour.Quote:

sorry to hear whats happened matey. if didnt live so far away id of offered to help rebuild the motor for you, as i wouldnt like to run it knowing the bores have been filled with water, especially after what you've been tolds been done or in your case not been done.
hope you can get something back off him for all the **** caused
