No Tony, you sold the crank AFTER I had already paid $1200 for "everything except the block including a TE60".
You already had my money and called me to ask me how important the crank is to me because somebody else wants it. Then when it was time to pick all my stuff up, and I ask where is the crank, you tell me in front of everybody at the track "it was lost, maybe at a machine shop" and I got a good enough of a deal anyways. But the night before you said you had the crank on the phone. So I had to borrow one from Prasad to get my block and rotating assy to the machine shop. Then I had to try to find a good one to give back to Prasad.
TE60 ended up being a stocker that was shot, I got $150 back from you for that.
The "uncut" main engine harness ended having wire nuts instead of fusable links.
$100 New NOS gas tank with the plastic baffles ended up being a used cheap Spectra without baffles that I could have bought new for $100.
I have the check copied from Asutin for the $400 exhuast system
We also bought stock control arms for $100 and an airbag for $35
I paid you $150 for the AC box which was another thing I got a call later asking if I needed it or not becuase someone else offered more even though I had already paid for it.
This isnt a flame, just the facts, it's writen write here in my log book. I wirte every single transaction down for future referrence. The gas tank not being an original style one is no big deal, the wiring harness being cut up is no big deal I bought another that wasnt cut up, the TE60 that ended being stock was worked out between us and is no big deal but the fact that I still never got a crank is where I got burned. "Everything except the block" I even have the main and rod bearings out of that motor but no crank.
Austins exhaust is literally rust dust, even the tail pipes. I dont know why or how becuase something like that shouldnt be rusting already. So he contacted you and you gave him the reply that you dont care....oh well. Thats not right Tony. You know just as well as I do that we bought that stuff when it was snowing outside. It's been sitting on the shelf until now. A more helpfull responce would have made things much better. maybe Jack would refund your money? If you would have wanted to help us, you could have tried to at least call. I picked the exhaust up for Austin at Prasads house, Austin didnt. If the exhaust was "could be pollished like new", why should I have to worry about taking my finger and pushing on it to see if it's toast, it's "less than a year old". Plus I brought a ton of parts up with me that day and pick a ton of parts up to bring home with me that day. The very last thingI would have ever thought i had to worry about inspecting so closely was the exhuast that "could be pollished like new".
As far as a friend, well I would never tell my friends "Your on your own" "I'm not going to worry about it". Yes Tony, you showed me in those responces that you are not our friend and really could care less even after I took my losses on the crank and dropped the issue becuase I am a true friend.
And Tony, this first PM from Austin isnt in any kind of way "with attitude":
"hello tony, I purchased the 3" exhaust from you a while back. I went to install it today, and had a big problem. this y pipe is all rusted out on the inside. I grabed the pipe to move it in place, and my thumb went right into the pipe."
