Everyone is entitled to an opinion, I only took action to what I thought was necessary , simply put I was gave a list of parts to order, ordered those parts, in hopes of getting a running chassis, and that was not what was delivered. Instead I put blind faith into you and your mechanic, that couldn't even spring to the hardware store to buy a bolt for the engine mount. The screwdriver you jimmied in place slipped during the tow and caused the engine to scrape to the floor.
The only reason a refund was requested was because the work done was unsatisfactory. I am not a mechanic, and you used my lack of knowledge to take advantage of my funds. I brought 200 cash on the day I visited, just because Seth ran "diagnostics" on my engine that you left in front of your driveway with nothing but a tarp on it. The whole agreement was it would be able to start up, and if you knew I needed some more parts , I would have just ordered those as well, but there's no use discussing now.
These forums were a great tool alright, needless to say this will be my last post, before anything else is used as "evidence"
Civil case for a measly sum is a matter worth chuckling over.
If you were in the right, the credit card company would not favor our dispute.
Again thanks for following this thread everyone else... I have learned that to get anything done properly it must be sourced locally, by professionals where you can inspect it step by step.

YOU are entitled to whatever opinion you want. WHAT I WROTE EARLIER IS NOT MY OPINION IT IS THE TRUTH. So I suggest you save your opinion for your lawyer, and the judge.
YOU DID NOT ORDER ALL THE PARTS, and I DON’T OWE YOU TO DELIVER ANYTHING. If you have a problem with what the mechanic installed then you resolve that with him NOT BY TAKING MONEY FROM MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT.
YOU PUT BLIND FAITH IN ME? I DESERVE THAT BECAUSE I HELPED YOU FOR FREE. AND I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING. HAD YOU ACTUALLY PUT REAL FAITH IN ME AN ZERO IN YOUR OWN DECISIONS YOU WOULD'VE BEEN FINE BY NOW. Against my advice you bought a heavily damaged car that does not run and it was missing a million thing. Then against my advice you chose the drive train of a year that is not available in the US and missing a million thing. Then against my advice you stretched the timetable to accommodate for your fund-availability.
HE WAS MY MECHANIC WHO WORKED ON MY CAR. HE WAS ALSO YOUR MECHANIC FOR DOING PLENTY OF WORK ON YOUR CAR. So stop claiming that I OWN the mechanic; he was my mechanic, yours, and many other people’s.
I don't know why he needs to SPRING anything – where is the last bolt for your engine? I already mentioned how he got you parts from Sacramento (you already know that, I even went w him to buy control arms for your car) I even sent you pics on the spot. HE did so much for free for you - he didn't even charge you for installing the arms or the sub frame.
I DID NOT TOUCH YOUR ENGINE. YOU ARE A LIAR, I DIDN’T JAM ANYTHING IN YOUR ENGINE.
The screw driver is not mine and I told you what I was told by the mechanic “replace it immediately by the proper bolt”.
I CAN REMOVE THAT EXACT BOLT FROM MY MR2 AND NOTHING WILL SCRAPE. I CAN EVEN DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT IT. YOU ARE A LIAR: AT ANY RATE THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING.
I DIDN’T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANYTHING I DIDN’T CHARGE YOU A DIME. YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE IS WHY YOU NEVER LISTENED TO ME AND DID EVERYTHING WEIRD.
HOW UNGRATEFUL! I covered your engine on the crate because you needed a month to buy more parts that YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE MISSING. THAT LIST DIDN’T COME FROM THIN AIR; you assumed that the engine you bought would just plug into your car and it will drive, and the mechanic had to waste all day to find out what the 30 parts needed for your engine were; IF HE WANTS TO CHARGE YOU $200 THEN WHY DIDN’T YOU ARGUE W HIM AND SCHOOL HIM CONVINCING HIM EVERYTHING HE NEEDS IS THERE!
THERE WAS NO ARGUMENT. YOUR ENGINE MAY NEVER START – GOD KNOWS. THE MECHANIC WAS TO INSTALL WHATEVER HE CAN BUT I TOLD YOU YOUR TANK CAN’T GO IN UNTIL YOU DECIDE ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR THIS NEW NON-MATCHING ENGINE. DID YOU GET IT? NO.
I WILL USE WHATEVER I CAN TO SHOW THE TRUTH.
CHUCKLE ALL YOU WANT. IF IT WERE A MEASLY SUM YOU WOULD HAVE CALLED ME AND DISCUSSED IT WITH ME; HOWEVER IT ONLY SEEMS MEASLY NOW THAT YOU WILL BE DRAGGED TO COURT.
Again, You learned the wrong lesson, because I didn’t take any of your money – you paid me nothing, and you took my money.
You are not honest like the rest of us AND YOU HAVE NO GRATITUDE FOR DECENCY, YOU EVEN THINK WHAT I WROTE EARLIER IS AN OPINION!
I don’t need any money – especially from you; and I know you worked hard for your money.
Had I wanted to take anything from you then I could have taken the over $2k that you sent me to give to the mechanic when you paid for (stripping and removing the parts from the car, stretching the car, cutting the space for the wheel turns, and trimming the exterior of the car to fit a kit).
I wanted to help you, but you chose the wrong path.
I wish you good health - see you in court
