[DeTomaso] Shop recommendations Texas: Houston/Sugarland/Missouri City

Tue May 14 12:54:08 EDT 2019

 Sorry to hear this! It's Sad when a Person or Shop Promises you the World to get Your Business and then puts You on the For Ever Plan! Then keeps telling You a Story of why they have done Very Little Work on Your Car! At this point, You May be better to Cut Your losses and pick up to Car! Hopefully You'll find all Your Parts and Pieces Take many Photo's in case You need to go to Court! Sadly, Your not the First to have had this Problem! It's Not Fun!
Good Luck

 Konrad,

Some people are only alive because it is against the law to kill them...

If I was closer I would be at your side helping.

Best of luck, it can only get better.

Very nice :)

Yes, I am.

I gave the shop until tomorrow to see some progress. I will see what happens, but I do not have a good feeling about this project.

I live also close to John, I think, since I am in Missouri City. Maybe I will be able to lash some goats to tow together the car there at some point, after I gather all the parts lying around.
