Wait a minute,youve just gone to pick up half a car?! why didnt you ask where the rest of the work and parts are?! i hope you havent handed him any money over??
I wouldnt pay him in washers,nor would i trust him with so much as a scalextric car.Right bodging cunnt,and that opinion was based on pics of his OWN car!!!
Agree with you there Rob, think am gona be best sourcing another engine and starting from the start myself:( .Quote:

havent been able to get a hold of him for weeks, just been getting the odd text then he either ignores any calls or turns his fone off, the only reason i gave him cash in the first place is because he had a good rep on here, and i seen the engine and spec.Quote:

most people are when money is being handed to them
Can I ask what his reason was for not finishing your project? Post some pictures of the work completed so far as well.
Mr LET I'd like to here also your side of this (if your reading it) because TBH it's all getting out of hand on here with your name being mentioned in a bad way, that's the only reason that I bumped that thread because it needs sorting once and for all, good or bad. ;)
Oh and I'm just a member of the public and nothing to do with PNG but I like it on here and don't like seeing people getting ripped off with there hard earned cash.
shocking service, even if its not a professional (company) job you would still expect the work and parts done that you asked for. Especially after this length of time. All I ever see regarding LET is bad rep, bad trader and bad work. As above keep calm and pay him a visit.
the car was given to "let" 4months agowith the promise of a two week turn around including all the parts in the original post, from then on it has just been excuses and at some points, weeks with no contact. twice i arranged transport to collect the car as he was taking too long, eventually last night he aggreed that i would arrange for a recovery truck to collect the car this morning, he said all parts not fitted were inside the car.Quote:

Well at least you got the car back, sadly lesson learned with regards to money and being trust worthy to the guy.

It sounds like he took it on in good faith maybe but got out of his depth working on somebody elses car, not his own.
Edit: Or he couldnt be arsed
thats ****e mate , thats why i prefer to do all my own work and if i get stuck with welding then i ask for a price to do just the welding then your never going to lose alot of money.
feel for you mate, an XE should not take longer than 3 days tops. one of them days is letting the paint dry, and thats at a steady pace!
am gonna try to get some pipes and have a bash at puttin it together this weekend, does anyone know how much and where is best to get the leads for the sparkplugs?
Did Napalm move to scotland lol.
There isnt much (anything) we can do regarding the fact you've been ripped off. I shall ban him from selling, but its upto you if you want me to ban him from the site as you might be able to contact him via here...? Let me know if you want him gone completely
that's not fair feel for you mate
Its prob best if he is banned from selling and removed as being a "trader" ofc but if he is banned full stop then DC1984 cant contact him or anybody else who is having problems with him, as im sure some people will be!
daft question lads, but do i need the ecu that came with the engine, jst noticed there aint one in the car:(
Sadly though if he's banned from selling and no longer a trader then he will probably ignore the pm's.
Agree mate, just sent admin a message to that effect;)Quote:

You obv know his address so shant be dishing that out
sure do mate, lol thats where a collected the car from
this LET-NOVA:tard: sounds a total ****..
give him a visit with a bat..
i hate rip off turds....waste of space
He's removed from the contributer list.
TBH I feel pretty let down. I gave him the benefit of the doubt when others were telling me he couldn't be trusted. Thats the last time i stick my neck out for anyone, and I apologise for the problems you are having with him, which you may not have got involved with had he not been affiliated with the club.
What a tool :mad: if he doesnt know what hes doing or has no intention in completing and easy conversion he shouldnt offer his services :tard: he left cle's old white nova in a mess to with a primered engine bay and rough conversion :wtf: hope you get the money back mate :thumb:
So back to your project have you attempted anything like this before because it looks like you'll need to get a list together of what parts are missing, I'm sure people will help as much as possible.
Good luck :)
Lee sadly it looks like he's pulled the wool over a few peoples eyes, sad really as I also thought he seemed okay, did a few photoshops now and again.
Its not your fault buddy, its just one of they things:roll:Quote:

That might be a good shout bazil, see what you think once you get a look at it mate:)
