    it has been a very long battle. I am not sure how long I have had two shops working on the car. the first one, in Columbus was a financial disaster for me and the car. I have already posted about that. the $5,000 car has so far cost close to $20,000 more to finish. today I ordered water hoses. one was leaking. none had been changed since new!. the latest round of labor involved. a loose drive shaft, transmission filter/oil change. motor filter/oil. rear axle oil. flywheel wheel ring. new starter. water pump. fuel pumps and filters speedo assy. LED's for the panel lights. changing the dash buttons to ones that had symbols. freeze plug leak required the transmission removal. then an intake manifold water leak yesterday. RH high beam does not work. it will be wired to the other side until I have the spare rebuilt. so all window motors, all door lock s, all door handles in and out, a complete new HVAC system. wiper motors. all rewired, the entire car. shift kit, new Lexus wheels. motor was also done before I purchased the car. it came with a NEW set of carbs. with any luck the car will be done by Sat.

    Mitchell,

    where do you find these places?!?

    And more to the point, why do you keep using them if they're incompetent?

    I took my owners manual to the copier shop and had the wiring diagrams enlarged, so that each section fits on a 11"x17" sheet of paper, much easier to read. Don't know how much more the diagrams from MIE are or how much more detailed.
