The 356 was in need of trans rebuild....too many Mikey burnouts with higher than stock HP.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I was in the middle of building a new garage and a 914/6 conversion and there was NO place to do the tear down on the 356 at MY house. So....it went to a shop of a racer I knew that did Beemers and TypeIVs.....we pulled the trans and engine, I did the spider gears and took the top end off and found some leaky valves...... re did the heads and then I went about the garage thing and the 914/6 wrap up. Since then, the wrench has done pretty much NOTHING....he has recently re-acquired the drinking and marching powder habit and my stuff is strewn about the shop..... I plan on just yanking everything out of there once I can get him to finish bolting the trans in and getting it on four wheels again..... what would YOU do? |

Pay him off for anything that was legitimately done and be damned sure to get a receipt marked "paid in full". Last thing you want is a cokehead coming after you when the cash runs out... Then grab yur stuff n' run...
We had a fairly similar situation long ago -- our wedding photographer turned out to be a coke fiend. He essentially disappeared off the face of the earth shortly after our wedding...before we got our pics. It took a year to get them, from his ex-partner who was a sober, nice guy stuck in the middle fighting off the irate customers. The damndest thing was -- the cokehead was a better shooter than his sober partner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
