So long story short, i guess im going to have to get a lawer and go back on the seller of this camaro, ever day its another rusted part.
Ad read, 30K actual mile car, X11, factory air, V8, New 750 carb ( lied its old as hell) TH350 with shift kit ( junk ) New 1/4s and floor pans, needs a little TLC
THIS IS NOT A SHOW CAR, ITS A GRATE DRIVER AND NEEDS PAINT, THAT IS WHY ITS NOT $45K dollars...
So i called on the phone talked to the guy, told him my plans, they said the car was good and would be fine for a color swap to black, went and looked at the car, but do to weather didnt get a chance to drive it ( started pouring the snow) I ask if we could put in on a lift and they said the lift was at there shop...
So fast forward, I get ready to paint, take vinyl top off, rust you pan put your hand threw, need roof and roof supports, I figured id just eat that and planned on a roof skin from what you all said.... Move on to interior to take it out, seats rusted, floor rusted and this new floor pan is more of piece of aluminum from lows, and the cross brace on the drivers side where the seat bolts in is busted. so even all 4 bolts where bolted in, the side next to the door isnt attached to anything... I had to throw all the seats but frames away along with all the carpet and dash pad.. they where molded and mildewed to the point that car stunk up my garage, not to mention im deathly allergic to it. to the point of walk by a place on the street that mold and im at the dr that night with out even going in the building...
At this point im poed, i figured id strip the car in case i need more parts. Rear 1/4 are on the car but they done with pop rivits and already have rust around them. They also over lapped the tops of the 1/4s so there was about half inch of bondo / fiberglass to get it level.. the truck lid has dual set of holes, im guessing some one installed the spoiler and then shut the trunk and it didnt line up.. Doors are in good shape which is surprising, move on the front fenders and they have patch panels witch would be ok, but they again used thin metal or aluminum, pop rivet gun, AND bent the ends around and over the factory fenders and bolts, then covered it up with fiberglass and bondo... Not a big deal, ill eat two fenders... I go to take them off, and now the big metal thing that the fenders bolt to ( along with the door) has holes on both side of the weld / pinch seam? that are the size of a base ball... The top of the fire wall, on the passenger side behind the AC ( below the windshild) has rust holes and has been covered up with what looks like melted fiberglass or something... then i cut my freaking leg on the fender so i quit last night and went to the dr to get a tetanus shot...
Anyway, so far the only thing about this car that is correct is the vin number and the mileage.. the rest has been nothing but lies.. I feel like i paid a lot of money for a $4K car, and if they had been honest i would have never bought the car for what my plans are, I would have bought one of those on line out of Arizona or someplace that is rust free shell...
another thing that poes me is that i told them i was doing a big block with twin turbos and the state thats car is in i believe it would have twisted its self in half, which would not be very safe, ad in the fact that only time i drove it was with both my kids in the car and we ridding a ticking time bomb...
Anyway any of you ever filed a law suit over something like this, I dont care to give them the car back, ill eat my time, labor and expenses on ins, taxes and tools, along with my now dr bill and what ive spent on materials... or i need enough money to cover a new body...
Ill post a link to the photos... Im not trying get anything for free, but i dont want to eat this project, in all honesty the car should have just been crushed..
