Without knowing more I would have to agree with OJOE on this one.Many times I have bought parts that looked good only to blast and find all kinds of crap. Sand blasting can punch holes through metal that is maybe a little weak after 35 years and good body work is obviously impossible to see. As far as the cut fenders if it took you the whole process of working on them before finding the missing parts he could just have easily not seen the missing parts.I guess All I'm saying is that how could he have known? Is it unfortunate yes-- Is it his fault well maybe not! Does this make him a untrustworthy seller - If he (and you) couldn't know whats under the paint - probably not
Since you posted on board I have to assume you have already tried to get a refund or compensation and he said no. Do we need to know his name so we don't buy from him-- Kind of sounds like a little blackmail to me
No not my sale --just wanted to point out for the other side of the coin.
