so i dont want this to be a huge pissfest..
however i could not find a good forum to post this in.

Let me explain my situation...
We saw that haulinass was selling a motor/trans etc...
We called and he stated that it was from a running car / they fired it / yada yada yada...

Said that pretty much the motor is in great shape and guarantee'd me it would work great.

So we ended up buying the motor/trans/harness - etc.. for 900
we towed the car pulled the motor / trans / etc..
he picked the car back up.

So supposedly this was supposed to be a good motor.. Supposedly it was a motor that ran when he fired it.. Supposedly it was driven by a chick..

Anyways...

We try and fire it up w/ antoher battery.. It doesnt fire up.. Doenst have spark.. we think of whatever its just something simple. So we still pull the motor out and get to work


Lets start w/ the easy things to spot
Motor mounts DESTORYED - The solid metal mount.. Not the rubber pieces mind you
The tranny Mount - DESTROYED
the engine harness - all clips destroyed before i even touched them there were pieces missing.
EGR PIPE - Totally Blocked off

Next we take off the transmission. There are 10mm bolts holding on the pressure plate
Not only that but the clutch is toast and so is the flywheel. They are soo heat soaked you would think a drag racer had just did a 1.9 60 foot w/ slicks.. That is how abused this clutch is.

Next up The intake manifold / EGR Spacer / Throttle Body.
So we try and get the tb off and egr off. Well guess what they are melded on. the whole thing is stuck together. Wont come off. So now i have a usless Upper manifold and EGR.

The oil pan gets removed. Metal shaving everywhere. Pickup is clogged with metal shaving as well as gasket material

Next up.
The bearings are scored.. Totally useless..
Cylinder wall are scored and pistons scraped it nice and well.

Alrighty what else. Pieces of the crank bearing were missing.. They were in the oil!!! GREAT!!!

ALL Water jackets are covered in mold. Take off the throttle body / head / everything is mold..

Oh yeah there is no thermostat in the thermostat housing either..


And the sad part is i am sooo scared to even look at the transmission.
When we were putting it on the tow truck the car was in gear and the sucker still rolled back and almost killed one of my friends.


Also now that we discovered all this. we need to buy another block.. Which is an expense that i did not account for considering that this was supposed to be a quick budget build just to get the sucker running cause we have tight deadlines..


Long story short..
Be very wary of your dealings w/ him..


Haulin.. If you are reading this.. If you had any sense of customer service, your best bet would be to give me another motor and take this piece of junk motor off my hands. Same goes w/ tranny as i have a good inkling that this tranny never worked in the first place.. Thanks for reading this post.. and sorry if it sounds slightly agressive as i am pretty upset wasting almost a thousand dollars on pretty much nothing that works.

WOW!

First off I never sold you a motor and trans I sold you a COMPLETE PROJECT 86 Mustang GT JUNK TITLED Convertible 5 speed Car for $900.00 that was on here and on CL. I never said I drove it I said I fired it for a quick second when it was purchased from a tow yard. I did say that a lady had donated it and that it had been sitting for quite some time. It had extensive convertible frame damage as her daughter had tried to put the top back up while driving it and it had sat since. That is all the info I had on the car, therefore that is all the info I had for you. I never said anything more or less

You even reposted the car w/o the engine,trans and wiring back here on this board and cl and tried to SCAM everyone leaving out the JUNK title part. I pmed everyone that was interested and let them know that it was a junk title. You got all
mad I did that and that it didnt sell and called me to have the car picked back up as your HOA was crawling up your ass. Protecting my interests I had the car picked back up by a tow company. After seeing the condition of the car after you pulled the motor and trans, I easily see how all the external damage you speak of occurred.You never removed the trans mount it was ripped out,the motor mounts as well were ripped out never unbolted, the dash was yanked out not unbolted and there were cut wires under the dash and hood, so again don't blame me for your work.

So being I don't have x-ray vision and you bought a project mustang, not a known tested motor and trans combo how am I in the wrong?


BTW don't blame me or a car for you and your friends incompetence while trying to load a car. You could have injured your friend seriously because of your stupidity.

You have NEVER ONCE tried to contact me regarding this matter. My VM Box has never been full it holds 50 new messages so IMO you are only here to start shit 3 months after you bought a CAR

ON EDIT:
I also would like to point out that ANY Engine/Trans setups I sell I leave in the car so that they can be heard and tested. Poeple get upset that they have to make 2 trips but they know when they leave that they are getting a good running engine or trans and not some POS that is just sitting on the ground.

We will both have our opinions. And sadly the truth is intermingled between both of our posts. If you are not willing to do anything other than attack me and my friends. Just let me know. If you notice in the first and original post i had stated that you could easily redeem yourself and i personally have no hatred or spite for you. I am just wishing that you would be a bit more professional and see if you could work with me on this but i guess that is out of the question.

I am not an active member on this forum, i post on here when necessary and when i need to buy particular items. I was unaware that he had a brother.

As for Matt, I have driven 5-6 hour round trips in traffic both ways just to buy parts from $15 up a few hundred, all because he is one of the FEW stand up guys on here and wouldn't doubt his judgement or word, he isn't some guy in his backyard or garage trying to scam for every last dime he can, parting cars and selling parts as well as other things are old news to this guy. Matt keep up the good work man, your reputation is not tarnished with me bud

last year i bought some stuff form him, and he only shipped half of it, then proclaimed that i ripped him off etc.

after a 4 month dispute between paypal and my credit card company against matt, i finally got my cash back.

during the whole ordeal, i had offered off the bat to mail the parts that i did get for a full refund. he refused to do so, proceeded to call me a liar and that i was ripping him off, and then began to make physical threats against me.

i chose not to pursue any legal action since i got my money back, but i definitely would forewarn anyone that buys anything from him.

Personally, I think we should call this thread seller beware on "Bh Super Low" and "Drift-GT". The two of them are working on this project together and "Drift-GT" has been pm'ing back and forth with me since New Years on a motor that I am selling. It is to replace the motor that Matt sold Bh, and yes I heard the whole story about how they got ripped off, blah blah, yadda yadda.

Anyway, my motor is still in the car, because I figured that if somebody could come over here and fire the thing up and drive it, then I could get more money for it that way, because they would know that it was good. So "Drift-GT and I agree upon a price and they tell me that they're gonna mail a deposit, so I start pulling the motor out of my car, and the next day they pm me saying that somebody on the board is selling another 5.0 motor cheaper and they don't want to pay the price that we agreed upon anymore. I guess that they thought that if I started to pull the motor they would have some leverage on me, but either way it's shady as hell to make a deal and then back out, especially when it involves the seller having to do work. But what's two hours neatly unhooking wiring and draining fluids, only to have to spend another two hours hooking things back up and filling the fluids again? I guess I needed an oil and coolant change anyway.

And just so they don't come on here saying that we never had a deal:

You bought some parts I sent everything to you, I still have YOUR pics that you sent me with EVERYTHING there. You said you scrapped the project and wanted to return the parts.Being I have a business account I do offer returns but on new parts only. You claimed a charge back on your card, I got my parts back (4 months later) end of story.
