well, I got some bad news for you, I just found out that one of the guys blew the motor in your car,as far as I know that the car is still at their shop, if you really want to get it back, do not call, email, or anything like that,you will need to come to that shop at night, that's when they actually work,I guess with many pissed off people they have to hide during the day,hope that helps, I should see *****'s younger brother Alex in the next few days, and will try to get more info if you like

The dash in our car was customized, so I don't think that's the one from our car. I do see our G .... last on the right. Let me know if you find out anymore info.

I may take a trip down there with the owner of the car to knock some heads.....

Stefan,

do they have 2 seperate units? When I dropped by there during the day last week no one answered the door, but the garage was cracked open and I couldnt see any cars in there.

I dont think they are parting out his car, they've got a black G35 coupe that is wrecked outside that they are probably parting out.

Things are looking much better now Mark, good luck.

Well I asked them a question on the auction of the dash...specifically what kind of kit was on the silver G in the pic. They said it was a widebody kit that will be released at the end of Sept. Well, at least I know it's still there indoors. Thanks for all the help....I may need more help soon.....

it's confirmed, the motor is done,rod went thru the block or oil pan,Alex told me that he just came back from grandfather's funeral, ***** is still there in New York, you can try his cell,904-509-4158,but I doubt he will pick up, I will try to get his home number, maybe you can talk to his wife, since she's the one pretty much the one that runs the show and he's hiding behind her back

Now how in God's creation do you throw a rod through the block making a bodykit. Looks like someone is going to receive a big fat lawsuit !!!!

You know, i was telling Mark that I thought they were trying to swap parts off their car into the black coupe that was outside.

Mark, if you're looking for someone to do finish up the body work I know a guy here thats pretty good who is well known in the supra community that can fix it up for you.
