88 MR2 SC

My title came back from the DMV... That fuck head I bought the car from refuses to answer my calls to sign over the title so I just forged the signature myself... Stupid young kid who refuses to deal with what he thinks is an uncomfortable situation ??? anyways... yet one more bump in the road to getting this car ...

Found a fender locally so I decided to ask Calvin if he was sure he didn't need it... he replied back that the car was done and he was going to look at it later that day and would call me... No call back that day... I texted him the next day asking how the car looked... he told me that it was the wrong car and would be done the following week... Just add this to a growing list of confusion and incompetence... On a side note... I ordered a Cusco- Rear Strut Bar cus-136-541-a  Also ordered ST Anti-Swaybar Set Item# 52220   The strut bar is coming from Japan 6 to 8 weeks... 

Well here's where I am now... Calvin talked me out of ordering a front fender because his friend can fix it... Also let me know that his friend won a contest for best Automotive paint job... I just don't know what to think anymore... my last conversation with Calvin was to tell his friend to please do the best job he can on the car... Also mentioned to him to cover the antenna hole and remove the break light which he dodn't do the first time...  The speedometer had still not been repaired yet ??? Worst case situation... The car looks like shit and I find another body shop and pay $4,000 to get it done right ( hopefully ) Average case situation ... Car is acceptable for 3 years and then I get a proper paint job Best case... He actually does his job properly and everything looks great.... I'm already thinking about the transmission to do next... and since were going in might as well replace the clutch with a heavier duty one and a lighter flywheel and why not a Li...

Went to look at the car yesterday ... first impression pulling up is it's not really the color I wanted... but close enough.... then I was impressed with the shine which the car never had... but then I started to see all the little flaws... I rationalized in my mind that this was a cheap paint job, but then I noticed that the front quarter pannel that was "fixed" was way off from the other side... The idiot didn't bother to match but just repaired it to the shape of the bent out one... WTF.... so many little things wrong with the paint I can't mention... also the antenna wasn't removed... the rear break light wasn't removed...The wheels and tires were over sprayed... Calvin is going to send the car back but I'm hesitant.... I dont know what to do at this point.... windshield looks good... When my car was at the other shop I was always stressed about the cost but not the quality of work... with Calvin now I'm stressed about the Quality and not the...

Calvin called me the other day to tell me the body damages fixed and the car is painted... also the front windshield is replaced... I gave him $2,000 for the repair... which was $1,500 so far... He's going to be working on the car this week I hope... I found some seat belts from some strange redneck in Lancaster for $60... So this Friday I will be dropping them off at Calvins shop and take a look at the car.... I'm excited to see it and a little nervous...

Spoke with Calvin yesterday at the track... I'm excited that he has my car... Doug told me that he was talking about the MR2 for 2 hours before I got there and what he wants to do to it....  he's looking for a racing transmission and will replace the clutch with a centrifugal force one ? Anyways, more gripping power... all sounds good to me :) He told me all will take about a month so I'm expecting early to mid January to see her again....
