just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] help needed restoring a tubby
ahem lies...
I always pay for genuine products
get your facts right
nothing I received was as asked for....I have payed 150 pounds so far for:
have a look here, there are other posts but this will give the gist
http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=146166
a block that is useless the bores are ruined
that dark patch is a hole 1mm deep... yes on pot3
it is full of rust and hanning with dirt, the face is badly pitted and needs 3mm off it
the crank is bent and the caps are in the wrong positions
I wanted a commetic metalhead gasket, I got a cheap flebay jobbie which had no holes to let water pass through the galleries.
I was linked to here...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACL-Race ... ccessories
I was told new though they are badly scored down to the copper and worst of all they are just the standard ones, not the race ones!
the head bolts are rusty...yes RUSTY
the piston rings look new, I will give him that, but wrongly fitted
" have a block which has been cleaned and honed, stock pistons, new rings and those ACL shells fitted.
A cylinder head which has been skimmmed and 8 valves ground and cut, will need shimming up though.
Any good?"
ok the cylinder head is faced but badly scrarched... it has 6 new valves inlet...in it and all the rest look like they have never been out! the machine shop man said he suspects they were bent (strange for a non interference engine) and showed me the damage to the valve guides! the head is unusable!
I can go on and on... copying and pasting my pm's and texts etc ...I will post pix to substantiate my case tho!
lewis I put it to you sir that you, indeed owe me money!
you should be ashamed of yourself, after all you are a professional with your own company"lcjautorepairs"
you have 7 days to remove your parts from my property, after that I will weigh it in! its up to you to give money back, but I don't realy care because I have bigger fish to fry.
I was not here when you called because I was with my barraster sorting out bigger problems. if you threaten myself of my family ever again it will be him you stand tall in front of!
you can email me to arange pickup... any other form of contact will be considered a breach of my conditions and you will be reported and delt with accordingly.
if the moderator can pls remove all this rubbish shortly ad I don't want this ruining my project any more
Your honour, I rest my case

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] help needed restoring a tubby

meh....if it was me I would've gotten a cheap runaraound if it was stopping me be able to work, not looking to spend loads getting a shed back on it's feet....but that's me I guess (no offense intended btw- just my opinion)
very surprised if Lew did send you the block in that condition given his description of it on your'wanted' thread- he's been helping a lot of folk on here for a long time, and from what I've seen is acknowledged to be a genuine and very helpful bloke...doesn't make sense and hence my question to him 
Hate to see arguments like this on here, undermines the trust that generally makes this site such a good place to be

Hi
I have read both threads and feel for you, that Lewis guy has totally screwed you over. If that engine he sold you is meant to be good by his standards i would hate to see one that he thought was knackered. LOL
Why do other MR2 users wanna rip people off? I have never known a car community like this one to be 100% honest. There are a few good ones about but most you wouldn't p1$$ on if they were on fire. Lewis now joins the ever increasing list of tossers LOL
Hope you get your engine sorted soon

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] help needed restoring a tubby
ash man...you are right about car, but I shouldn't have to buy some bag of bolts to run about in. I work all over the uk as am a chef agent like I clock up many miles and the fule goes on expences....hence the car project. I am needed back in colchester right now but i am the kinda person of whom will not walk way from a project once started!
I know he has good rep, I did my homework before buying off him... but I also now know that he is a bare face lyer as i checked the engine number, found the reg of car it came from (my bro is a copper) and found that it is nor regeztered to him so he has a lot of explaining to do there. we aint gonna follow it up tho caws i juzt wanna move on now!
i sold that shonkey old turbo that was on it already, along with mine to a very reputable turbo refirb company.... I got a ton! I have been offered 50 fir the block by someone who wants it for a coffee table and the he'd will be weighed in with all my other engine bits n bobs from over the years....hell there must be 2 ton here!
the copper rad is worth a tenner for scrap and I have like a dozen cats to fLog and they are worth a score each.......
so watch this space:............. kick me down, I will get straight back up again!
