Bro all I told you was you failed to tell us the starter is bad. He only bought the car because you said it didn't have any problems except for paint. You told us all the problems AFTER we found out for ourselves. All I was asking was for you to be honest and tell us EVERYTHING that was wrong with the car. Today when I called you then you told me Oh yeah the starter is the only thing that's not brand new and gets stuck sometimes or whatever you said. You can ask people on this board that I've dealed with i'm a stand up guy I just expected the same in return, It's all good you can say what you want I have nothing to do with this no more. And the brakes also have something wrong with them. You could of just told us what was wrong exactly from the getgo and not have to deal with this.

Ok so I was trying to be a man about this and speak calmly with you, but since you want to bring my family in this and use foul language, lets all go back to your first post, WTF DOES IT SAY IS WRONG WITH THE CAR!?
PAINT, AND GAUGES
so after driving it for 2 F***** days and taking it to my mechanic, the gauges dont work, the moldings are falling off, the brakes were not installed correctly and are tugging the car and is fu**** the rotors up, the starter is messed up THE FUEL GAUGE DOESNT WORK AFTER YOU TOLD ME IT DID
great job jippping me out of 8k
the motor and suspension is flawless and im happy, but you failed to mention these problems to me
i asked you before you got paid, "in your professional opinion, do you think this is a good car for a daily driver and will last long"
what did you say mr casey
YES..
what did you tell my mom
"i told your son not to buy this car from me"
bs.. karmas a B**** ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)

To be honest I would stop talking about it on both sides. To continue to talk about something will more often than not, hurt your court case.

So what I hear is that the starter sometimes doesn't work? If you have been on this forum long enough, you know that a starter is cheap and can be changed in a jiff, not only that, these are corvette brakes on a mustang, don't think there is an exact/correct way to install such a thing. It's all fab work and should have test drove it first and noticed some of these flaws. I am sorry that both parties are not happy, but sure seems like you creamed your pants to get this and drive it like you stole it.

so what your telling me is.. becuase of a $50 starter you want to bring the car back after dogging it out for 2 days? o wait the moldings are falling off also.. doesn't sound to me like your, handling it like a man with 3 different people calling, but not you..

not just the starter, the brakes are fukn up the rotors, casey stated that he didnt drive the car much after he built it, so im hoping he didnt know about these problems and sold it to me, cause if he did and still told me there was nothing wrong
thats low..

So from what I can conclude it sounds like some more bs. I deduce that there is an error in your timeline. You bought it Thurs it sounds like drove it for 2+days, making it Sat/Sun, but posted this at 10am today. What mechanic is open on the weekends? Unless you heard all of this within an hour before your post and posted it consecutively.

and to be completely honest, my family doesnt tell me what they do, i had no idea casey was called until i got his message and came on the forums, my plan was to fix what he faulted on and keep it, cause it flies when its working right
but i dont have the money cause all my money went to buying it, once again, bring me 6.5k w.o the wheels and you can have it
casey gave me receipts for most the parts

Alright well if that is all true, I remember when I first bought a car, everyone would tell me "take it to our mechanic and have it look at it before you buy it." Ever consider that, I am just saying seems like you jumped the gun and didn't inspect it well enough, I see both ends of this story, just think about how you bought a car w/ many high end parts thinking that is was ready for NASCAR, but never had a professional look at it before you DOGGED on it.

All the toys inside were brand new! Even the starter, which wasn't new new, was pretty damn new, but it was just a cheap Kragen starter anyways, so who knows.
Just an update, it looks like I'll be buying the car back, and if/when I do that I will have all of the parts available here for sale individually.
I have a theory on why the brakes are "hanging up", and I will post more on that later, but they should be fine, and if not I'll get them resurfaced and buy new pads before listing them for sale.
Everything else on the car, with the exception of the starter and/or battery should be fine, and I will let you know when things start coming apart.

the brakes dragging is probably just the pushrod on the booster being adjusted out a little too far.

Tough luck kiddo. You should've had the car looked at by a professional before you bought it. You got all worked up about some notchback with a few decent parts on it, let the emotions take over and overlooked some details. You work part time and you're buying a car like this? Not smart. You trusted a stranger when he tells you everything works. Also not smart. A wise man once said "trust but verify." $7900! That's hilarious. As soon as someone says "I put $$ into this car, it's worth this $$" Run for the hills.

That's sort of along the lines of what I was thinking. Having only put 36 miles on the car in the time I owned it I'm not totally surprised that there are some bugs to work out, but I was of the impression that the car didn't have any mechanical problems because it was performing flawlessly for me.

Incredible. On a good day, that abused coupe might be worth $2500. It is Amazing that some one paid $7900 for a rough 88 LX coupe with cast Iron cylinder heads, No tourque arm, no tubular K member,a fucked up fuel gauge, dragging brakes,a fucked up body and cheap chinese wheels. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
