I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Still haven't seen my air cleaner.  He might not be lying, but it sure is frustrating that he's so backed up or confused or whatever.

Well I emailed him today and he told me that he never got my address even though I sent it with darkthunders, or eather or something like that. Oh well. We will see once again.

I just bought injectors and fpr off him yesterday. I paid at 9am... he sent them out at 12pm the same day. Gave me a tracking number and everything. I also ordered an hpipe and s from him a few months ago and got them as soon as I paid.  I guess he likes me?

Hey everyone.Yes,it's me.I didn't have the parts in my garage for a year.The parts were locked in my ex-partners storage with out me having access.I just got the air cleaner shipped IFIXYAWATA.You have the tracking number in your PM.I went to E-Bay to "work" for myself.My ex-partner aand I thought we could make some money selling some car parts.After we sold quite a few,he took his share of the money and the parts and left.I was left with angry people (I understand everyone's anger completely)..It took a County Sherriff and a pair of bolt cutters to get most of my parts back.Some items were gone,like the air cleaner,but there was a second one,so,I lifted it with the other parts of mine and haven't been back.I stay on E-Bay because it's honost and accountable.I have had no problems with anyone since I work for myself as far as parts and such go.If anyone has any questions,please let me know.Thankyou.

Vincent

I do miss the forums here.But,due to the cirspoogestances,things are as they are.I hope to one day be able to start fresh with everyone here.I love the Thunderbirds (mine is an '88 5.0 H.O.),and have done a lot with it.I am always seeking new info,and trying to help those who are somewhat new to the big Foxes.I never had any intentions of taking advantage of anyone.As I stated,I have been working hard to get parts out,and replace those that were taken from me,that belonged to the individuals who purchased them from me.Thankyou for your time.

It's true.  I have a working, valid tracking number that's sheduled to arrive on the 16th of August.

Thanks again, Vinnie for clearing up this problem.  It looks like you may redeem your name here yet.

I am trying more than you guys know.I've loved this forum ever since I found it.I hope to get it back sometime.It takes time for people to see the truth after opinions have been formed,WHICH,I don't and can't blame anyone for.I understand completely,I would feel the exact same way.I blame my ex-partner,but,I have to accept the the load of it.I got myself into a deal that fell apart,nothing else to do but fix it the best I can,and keep moving ahead..Perhaps I'll see you guys around sometime.

Well Mr Vincent, even though it has taken forever, I did get my parts, so I have nothing against you any longer.

Believe me guys,if I was trying to rip everyone off,I wouldn't have parts to send people after this amount of time has gone by..I would've sold them to other people,or not had them at all.I can't tell you all how much I've wanted to post here,answer questions,ask questions,look for a part,or whatever,but,due to the cirspoogestances,I thought it was inappropriate.I am always glad to help others if I can with info.I have done a TON of work and progress with my car since I've been here last.I have a lot of info I can share,and will be glad to if anyone needs help.Thanks for your time.
