&*(*#() wreckers...

[BLSTIC]

Ok so after organising two cars (an EF and a VL) to be donated to BLSTIC's Hooning Foundation from a wrecker, in echange for two boat anchors bolted to each other (aka 308 & TH400), we are told that we can't get the car yet. Fair enough, as the wrecker is closing down, being taken over by a metal recycler (more on these guys later). After various visits to the wrecker to grab other (non related) items, we wait for a phone call to say that we can pick up the cars (closing one buisiness while starting another buisiness takes a fair bit of effort on the part of the wrecker owners, so we wait until they are finished). And wait. And wait. Meanwhile the metal recyclers have started crushing cars.

After being fed up with waiting (I needed the cars by friday arvo at the very latest, prefferably this morning) we go in to the wreckers, only to find out that our paid for cars have been crushed. Not only that, we find out that the only good EF engine left (the required part from the car) has had a frontal impact, and the car that it is in has no wheels or diff. It also may have damage to the front of the engine. The only other engine has a blown head gasket (same problem as mine). We also have no VL shell to make into a speedway car. On top of that, they still have our 308 and TH400...

Today was really my day.
