Rustlestiltskin Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj288/Dubs740/A484A081-9876-42A6-B6CF-D36005503E1C-2534-0000027E6FE07138_zps15a1f3cc.jpg Sorry, long story. One of my best friends owned a custom bike shop where he did custom paint and such. In an effort to work out a deal that would benefit both of us. The deal was he would do the body and paint work on my car with him buying materials. In exchange for this I did work for his shop that was billable to his customers. I had held up my end of the deal and for a time he was working on my car making good on his end of the deal. I had done enough work for him to cover a complete paint job material wise top to bottom. In the meantime him and his wife had filed for divorce and he needed a place to stay at the same time his business partner was paying himself and not the shops bills so the shop was closed. Since he was a good friend I let him stay with me in exchange for the labor part of my car. Things were working out good, small parts were getting painted at the new body shop he was working for and body work was getting done to the bottom of the car. This is where things start falling apart. He took my sub frame, control arms and a box of small parts that needed sand blasted to the blaster. After a few weeks I had asked about the parts and he said they were blasted and sealed he was just working on the body work part of them on his lunch breaks and would be done soon. I have no problem with this as I know he's always been straight with me and parts have always trickled home nicely painted. A few more weeks pass and I ask how things were going and he said the control arms were done and the sub frame and the small parts were getting painted that weekend. Well that weekend came and went with nothing done. I was busy with other things so I didn't have any time to talk with him about the car. A week or two go by and he comes home early on a Monday and apparently had been fired for texting too much at work and not getting stuff done. So on Tuesday I go help him get his stuff from the shop and take it over to the blaster's house (also good friends of his) to store his stuff. Well to my surprise leaning against the wall was my sub with the rest of the parts I had given him. They sat just as they were when they left my house. Now while I'm not happy with being lied to he has been working on my car at the house and buying the product that he needed to get the job done so I let it go for now. At this point all the body work is done on the bottom of the car, it has been sealed, mudded, sealed, slick sanded, seam sealed and primed. A few weeks ago on a Friday I got a text from him that his girlfriend had bought a house and he was going to move in with her after she closed on it (turns out she had already closed on it and he knew he was moving that weekend). He gets home from work and we base and clear the bottom of the car. I had plans to go out of town with some friends that Saturday morning and would be back Sunday morning. When I got home Sunday morning he had taken almost all of his stuff out of the house and garage all while I was out of the house. Actually the only thing he left was a air compressor that takes 3 guys to move and a trailer he doesn't have tags to. Dude doesn't respond to text or phone calls. He pretty much just cut bait and skipped out. Moral of the story watch yourself when it comes to trade work with your friends. While I'm out thousands of dollars I will have to now spend on materials and paying someone else to do the body work on my car that I didn't plan or budget for I'm also a friend short. Now I'm not sure when the car will get done. The time line I had planed out based off the progress so far had me getting it done by late spring early summer 2013. I'm very disappointed in this whole situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very disappointed in this whole situation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯ -6-speeds win races,Automatics impress high school kids I daily drive a high performance FWD N/A lancer and feel the soul is great vehicle" -Killjoy Rustlestiltskin is online now Add to Rustlestiltskin's Reputation Report Post Reply With Quote Multi-Quote This Message Quick reply to this message Unread Today, 01:47 PM #2 Not Brian ㋡【ツ】㋡【ツ】㋡【ツ】㋡ Super Moderator Not Brian's Avatar Name: Brain Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Columbus Vehicles: TBSS Posts: 10,990 Rep: Not Brian is a jewel in the roughNot Brian is a jewel in the roughNot Brian is a jewel in the rough Trader Rating: (27) ˙uoıʇɐnʇıs ǝןoɥʍ sıɥʇ uı pǝʇuıoddɐsıp ʎɹǝʌ ɯ,ı ˙3102 ɹǝɯɯns ʎןɹɐǝ ƃuıɹds ǝʇɐן ʎq ǝuop ʇı ƃuıʇʇǝƃ ǝɯ pɐɥ ɹɐɟ os ssǝɹƃoɹd ǝɥʇ ɟɟo pǝsɐq ʇno pǝuɐןd pɐɥ ı ǝuıן ǝɯıʇ ǝɥʇ ˙ǝuop ʇǝƃ ןןıʍ ɹɐɔ ǝɥʇ uǝɥʍ ǝɹns ʇou ɯ,ı ʍou ˙ʇɹoɥs puǝıɹɟ ɐ osןɐ ɯ,ı ɹoɟ ʇǝƃpnq ɹo uɐןd ʇ,upıp ı ʇɐɥʇ ɹɐɔ ʎɯ uo ʞɹoʍ ʎpoq ǝɥʇ op oʇ ǝsןǝ ǝuoǝɯos ƃuıʎɐd puɐ sןɐıɹǝʇɐɯ uo puǝds ʍou oʇ ǝʌɐɥ ןןıʍ ı sɹɐןןop ɟo spuɐsnoɥʇ ʇno ɯ,ı ǝןıɥʍ ˙spuǝıɹɟ ɹnoʎ ɥʇıʍ ʞɹoʍ ǝpɐɹʇ oʇ sǝɯoɔ ʇı uǝɥʍ ɟןǝsɹnoʎ ɥɔʇɐʍ ʎɹoʇs ǝɥʇ ɟo ןɐɹoɯ ˙ʇno pǝddıʞs puɐ ʇıɐq ʇnɔ ʇsnɾ ɥɔnɯ ʎʇʇǝɹd ǝɥ ˙sןןɐɔ ǝuoɥd ɹo ʇxǝʇ oʇ puodsǝɹ ʇ,usǝop ǝpnp ˙oʇ sƃɐʇ ǝʌɐɥ ʇ,usǝop ǝɥ ɹǝןıɐɹʇ ɐ puɐ ǝʌoɯ oʇ sʎnƃ 3 sǝʞɐʇ ʇɐɥʇ ɹossǝɹdɯoɔ ɹıɐ ɐ sɐʍ ʇɟǝן ǝɥ ƃuıɥʇ ʎןuo ǝɥʇ ʎןןɐnʇɔɐ ˙ǝsnoɥ ǝɥʇ ɟo ʇno sɐʍ ı ǝןıɥʍ ןןɐ ǝƃɐɹɐƃ puɐ ǝsnoɥ ǝɥʇ ɟo ʇno ɟɟnʇs sıɥ ɟo ןןɐ ʇsoɯןɐ uǝʞɐʇ pɐɥ ǝɥ ƃuıuɹoɯ ʎɐpuns ǝɯoɥ ʇoƃ ı uǝɥʍ ˙ƃuıuɹoɯ ʎɐpuns ʞɔɐq ǝq pןnoʍ puɐ ƃuıuɹoɯ ʎɐpɹnʇɐs ʇɐɥʇ spuǝıɹɟ ǝɯos ɥʇıʍ uʍoʇ ɟo ʇno oƃ oʇ suɐןd pɐɥ ı ˙ɹɐɔ ǝɥʇ ɟo ɯoʇʇoq ǝɥʇ ɹɐǝןɔ puɐ ǝsɐq ǝʍ puɐ ʞɹoʍ ɯoɹɟ ǝɯoɥ sʇǝƃ ǝɥ ˙(puǝʞǝǝʍ ʇɐɥʇ ƃuıʌoɯ sɐʍ ǝɥ ʍǝuʞ ǝɥ puɐ ʇı uo pǝsoןɔ ʎpɐǝɹןɐ pɐɥ ǝɥs ʇno suɹnʇ) ʇı uo pǝsoןɔ ǝɥs ɹǝʇɟɐ ɹǝɥ ɥʇıʍ uı ǝʌoɯ oʇ ƃuıoƃ sɐʍ ǝɥ puɐ ǝsnoɥ ɐ ʇɥƃnoq pɐɥ puǝıɹɟןɹıƃ sıɥ ʇɐɥʇ ɯıɥ ɯoɹɟ ʇxǝʇ ɐ ʇoƃ ı ʎɐpıɹɟ ɐ uo oƃɐ sʞǝǝʍ ʍǝɟ ɐ ˙pǝɯıɹd puɐ pǝןɐǝs ɯɐǝs 'pǝpuɐs ʞɔıןs 'pǝןɐǝs 'pǝppnɯ 'pǝןɐǝs uǝǝq sɐɥ ʇı 'ɹɐɔ ǝɥʇ ɟo ɯoʇʇoq ǝɥʇ uo ǝuop sı ʞɹoʍ ʎpoq ǝɥʇ ןןɐ ʇuıod sıɥʇ ʇɐ ˙ʍou ɹoɟ oƃ ʇı ʇǝן ı os ǝuop qoɾ ǝɥʇ ʇǝƃ oʇ pǝpǝǝu ǝɥ ʇɐɥʇ ʇɔnpoɹd ǝɥʇ ƃuıʎnq puɐ ǝsnoɥ ǝɥʇ ʇɐ ɹɐɔ ʎɯ uo ƃuıʞɹoʍ uǝǝq sɐɥ ǝɥ oʇ pǝıן ƃuıǝq ɥʇıʍ ʎddɐɥ ʇou ɯ,ı ǝןıɥʍ ʍou ˙ǝsnoɥ ʎɯ ʇɟǝן ʎǝɥʇ uǝɥʍ ǝɹǝʍ ʎǝɥʇ sɐ ʇsnɾ ʇɐs ʎǝɥʇ ˙ɯıɥ uǝʌıƃ pɐɥ ı sʇɹɐd ǝɥʇ ɟo ʇsǝɹ ǝɥʇ ɥʇıʍ qns ʎɯ sɐʍ ןןɐʍ ǝɥʇ ʇsuıɐƃɐ ƃuıuɐǝן ǝsıɹdɹns ʎɯ oʇ ןןǝʍ ˙ɟɟnʇs sıɥ ǝɹoʇs oʇ (sıɥ ɟo spuǝıɹɟ pooƃ osןɐ) ǝsnoɥ s,ɹǝʇsɐןq ǝɥʇ oʇ ɹǝʌo ʇı ǝʞɐʇ puɐ doɥs ǝɥʇ ɯoɹɟ ɟɟnʇs sıɥ ʇǝƃ ɯıɥ dןǝɥ oƃ ı ʎɐpsǝnʇ uo os ˙ǝuop ɟɟnʇs ƃuıʇʇǝƃ ʇou puɐ ʞɹoʍ ʇɐ ɥɔnɯ ooʇ ƃuıʇxǝʇ ɹoɟ pǝɹıɟ uǝǝq pɐɥ ʎןʇuǝɹɐddɐ puɐ ʎɐpuoɯ ɐ uo ʎןɹɐǝ ǝɯoɥ sǝɯoɔ ǝɥ puɐ ʎq oƃ oʍʇ ɹo ʞǝǝʍ ɐ ˙ɹɐɔ ǝɥʇ ʇnoqɐ ɯıɥ ɥʇıʍ ʞןɐʇ oʇ ǝɯıʇ ʎuɐ ǝʌɐɥ ʇ,upıp ı os sƃuıɥʇ ɹǝɥʇo ɥʇıʍ ʎsnq sɐʍ ı ˙ǝuop ƃuıɥʇou ɥʇıʍ ʇuǝʍ puɐ ǝɯɐɔ puǝʞǝǝʍ ʇɐɥʇ ןןǝʍ ˙puǝʞǝǝʍ ʇɐɥʇ pǝʇuıɐd ƃuıʇʇǝƃ ǝɹǝʍ sʇɹɐd ןןɐɯs ǝɥʇ puɐ ǝɯɐɹɟ qns ǝɥʇ puɐ ǝuop ǝɹǝʍ sɯɹɐ ןoɹʇuoɔ ǝɥʇ pıɐs ǝɥ puɐ ƃuıoƃ ǝɹǝʍ sƃuıɥʇ ʍoɥ ʞsɐ ı puɐ ssɐd sʞǝǝʍ ǝɹoɯ ʍǝɟ ɐ ˙pǝʇuıɐd ʎןǝɔıu ǝɯoɥ pǝןʞɔıɹʇ sʎɐʍןɐ ǝʌɐɥ sʇɹɐd puɐ ǝɯ ɥʇıʍ ʇɥƃıɐɹʇs uǝǝq sʎɐʍןɐ s,ǝɥ ʍouʞ ı sɐ sıɥʇ ɥʇıʍ ɯǝןqoɹd ou ǝʌɐɥ ı ˙uoos ǝuop ǝq pןnoʍ puɐ sʞɐǝɹq ɥɔunן sıɥ uo ɯǝɥʇ ɟo ʇɹɐd ʞɹoʍ ʎpoq ǝɥʇ uo ƃuıʞɹoʍ ʇsnɾ sɐʍ ǝɥ pǝןɐǝs puɐ pǝʇsɐןq ǝɹǝʍ ʎǝɥʇ pıɐs ǝɥ puɐ sʇɹɐd ǝɥʇ ʇnoqɐ pǝʞsɐ pɐɥ ı sʞǝǝʍ ʍǝɟ ɐ ɹǝʇɟɐ ˙ɹǝʇsɐןq ǝɥʇ oʇ pǝʇsɐןq puɐs pǝpǝǝu ʇɐɥʇ sʇɹɐd ןןɐɯs ɟo xoq ɐ puɐ sɯɹɐ ןoɹʇuoɔ 'ǝɯɐɹɟ qns ʎɯ ʞooʇ ǝɥ ˙ʇɹɐdɐ ƃuıןןɐɟ ʇɹɐʇs sƃuıɥʇ ǝɹǝɥʍ sı sıɥʇ ˙ɹɐɔ ǝɥʇ ɟo ɯoʇʇoq ǝɥʇ oʇ ǝuop ƃuıʇʇǝƃ sɐʍ ʞɹoʍ ʎpoq puɐ ɹoɟ ƃuıʞɹoʍ sɐʍ ǝɥ doɥs ʎpoq ʍǝu ǝɥʇ ʇɐ pǝʇuıɐd ƃuıʇʇǝƃ ǝɹǝʍ sʇɹɐd ןןɐɯs 'pooƃ ʇno ƃuıʞɹoʍ ǝɹǝʍ sƃuıɥʇ ˙ɹɐɔ ʎɯ ɟo ʇɹɐd ɹoqɐן ǝɥʇ ɹoɟ ǝƃuɐɥɔxǝ uı ǝɯ ɥʇıʍ ʎɐʇs ɯıɥ ʇǝן ı puǝıɹɟ pooƃ ɐ sɐʍ ǝɥ ǝɔuıs ˙pǝsoןɔ sɐʍ doɥs ǝɥʇ os sןןıq sdoɥs ǝɥʇ ʇou puɐ ɟןǝsɯıɥ ƃuıʎɐd sɐʍ ɹǝuʇɹɐd ssǝuısnq sıɥ ǝɯıʇ ǝɯɐs ǝɥʇ ʇɐ ʎɐʇs oʇ ǝɔɐןd ɐ pǝpǝǝu ǝɥ puɐ ǝɔɹoʌıp ɹoɟ pǝןıɟ pɐɥ ǝɟıʍ sıɥ puɐ ɯıɥ ǝɯıʇuɐǝɯ ǝɥʇ uı ˙ɯoʇʇoq oʇ doʇ ǝsıʍ ןɐıɹǝʇɐɯ qoɾ ʇuıɐd ǝʇǝןdɯoɔ ɐ ɹǝʌoɔ oʇ ɯıɥ ɹoɟ ʞɹoʍ ɥƃnouǝ ǝuop pɐɥ ı ˙ןɐǝp ǝɥʇ ɟo puǝ sıɥ uo pooƃ ƃuıʞɐɯ ɹɐɔ ʎɯ uo ƃuıʞɹoʍ sɐʍ ǝɥ ǝɯıʇ ɐ ɹoɟ puɐ ןɐǝp ǝɥʇ ɟo puǝ ʎɯ dn pןǝɥ pɐɥ ı ˙sɹǝɯoʇsnɔ sıɥ oʇ ǝןqɐןןıq sɐʍ ʇɐɥʇ doɥs sıɥ ɹoɟ ʞɹoʍ pıp ı sıɥʇ ɹoɟ ǝƃuɐɥɔxǝ uı ˙sןɐıɹǝʇɐɯ ƃuıʎnq ɯıɥ ɥʇıʍ ɹɐɔ ʎɯ uo ʞɹoʍ ʇuıɐd puɐ ʎpoq ǝɥʇ op pןnoʍ ǝɥ sɐʍ ןɐǝp ǝɥʇ ˙sn ɟo ɥʇoq ʇıɟǝuǝq pןnoʍ ʇɐɥʇ ןɐǝp ɐ ʇno ʞɹoʍ oʇ ʇɹoɟɟǝ uɐ uı ˙ɥɔns puɐ ʇuıɐd ɯoʇsnɔ pıp ǝɥ ǝɹǝɥʍ doɥs ǝʞıq ɯoʇsnɔ ɐ pǝuʍo spuǝıɹɟ ʇsǝq ʎɯ ɟo ǝuo ˙ʎɹoʇs ƃuoן 'ʎɹɹos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbracing81 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 This remonds me of the time I experienced the same problem. One of my best friends owned a custom bike shop where he did custom paint and such. In an effort to work out a deal that would benefit both of us. The deal was he would do the body and paint work on my car with him buying materials. In exchange for this I did work for his shop that was billable to his customers. I had held up my end of the deal and for a time he was working on my car making good on his end of the deal. I had done enough work for him to cover a complete paint job material wise top to bottom. In the meantime him and his wife had filed for divorce and he needed a place to stay at the same time his business partner was paying himself and not the shops bills so the shop was closed. Since he was a good friend I let him stay with me in exchange for the labor part of my car. Things were working out good, small parts were getting painted at the new body shop he was working for and body work was getting done to the bottom of the car. This is where things start falling apart. He took my sub frame, control arms and a box of small parts that needed sand blasted to the blaster. After a few weeks I had asked about the parts and he said they were blasted and sealed he was just working on the body work part of them on his lunch breaks and would be done soon. I have no problem with this as I know he's always been straight with me and parts have always trickled home nicely painted. A few more weeks pass and I ask how things were going and he said the control arms were done and the sub frame and the small parts were getting painted that weekend. Well that weekend came and went with nothing done. I was busy with other things so I didn't have any time to talk with him about the car. A week or two go by and he comes home early on a Monday and apparently had been fired for texting too much at work and not getting stuff done. So on Tuesday I go help him get his stuff from the shop and take it over to the blaster's house (also good friends of his) to store his stuff. Well to my surprise leaning against the wall was my sub with the rest of the parts I had given him. They sat just as they were when they left my house. Now while I'm not happy with being lied to he has been working on my car at the house and buying the product that he needed to get the job done so I let it go for now. At this point all the body work is done on the bottom of the car, it has been sealed, mudded, sealed, slick sanded, seam sealed and primed. A few weeks ago on a Friday I got a text from him that his girlfriend had bought a house and he was going to move in with her after she closed on it (turns out she had already closed on it and he knew he was moving that weekend). He gets home from work and we base and clear the bottom of the car. I had plans to go out of town with some friends that Saturday morning and would be back Sunday morning. When I got home Sunday morning he had taken almost all of his stuff out of the house and garage all while I was out of the house. Actually the only thing he left was a air compressor that takes 3 guys to move and a trailer he doesn't have tags to. Dude doesn't respond to text or phone calls. He pretty much just cut bait and skipped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
