so, after 2 long months of waiting for parts, and repair i finally get it back. so last friday, when i was supposed to get it back, i get a call that it isnt pulling an alignment. Turns out before i bought the car, it was in a major accident, and the frame and crossmember were bent pretty bad. On top of that, i needed new gas lines because they were rusting through. lucky for me the mechanic specializes in frame repair, and has a $300,000 machine for frame straightening. So i was about to pick it up this morning, and he calls me, tells me the e brake cable isnt long enough because i got bigger brakes. Well, he gets one side working, so i figure it good enough until wednesday, which is when i get my new ring and pinion put in, and the ebrake fixed. So i go to pick it up, around one, and the mechanic tells me the rearend is noisey because its an old junk one they bought and put in, but since i am replacing the bearings and stuff wed, he said itd be fine til then. So its making quiet alot of noise on the way home, but i figured it was just the rear end. Well, the car also feels very twitchy in the back, and wasnt sure about it, so i called up my mechanic. Told him the back end feels like it swaying alot. he tells me its fine, dont worry about anything and everything is tight
so im like ok, w/e. next thing i know, my rear end drops, i pull to the side instantly, get out and what do i find???
woopie! the mechanic forgot to tighten the bolts. well i get it towed back for free, and he offers to buy me a new wheel (only thing broken, thank god) well it gets better, since i only have 3 saleen wheels now, instead of him buying me a new 3 spoke wheel, hes buying me a brand new saleen wheel. So im thinkin, oh this guy aint so bad. well 30 min ago, i dropped my friend off at his house, and we never tested the brakes yet. so i step on the brakes pretty damn hard, we come to a stop and im like.. yea these are pretty good. middle of me talking, the brake peddle goes limp, and nasty smelling smoke starts pouring from under my hood. Great! my ****ing brakes blew. So, now my car is stuck there until tomorrow, and hopefully the mechanic will pay for that crap too.
