Just a final follow-up on my personal experience for anyone that is thinking about going this route for parts.
I ordered 3 full kits plus some extra stuff (lugnuts etc.) - I think 4 "kits" were offered - engine, chassis, etc..) as my car came with very little. I didn’t need the engine kit.
I started the order process in May 2024. Fully paid in July 2024. Several dates were given for "ready to deliver" - Sept, Nov, Feb, April. Every time it was "just one more week". There was always an excuse as to why it’s taking more time.
At the end of May 2025, after ~100 emails and texts - they arrived. But..
The order was incomplete (about 1/4 of the pieces were missing). There was no notice that anything was missing nor was there an invoice/checklist, so I had to do my own reconciliation.
Second issue was that some of the items were not as requested (wrong markings on bolt heads) and what was sent was commercially available bolts/markings at 1/4 the price from well-known repo places.
So, the dance continued. 100 more text messages with more excuses – surgeries, moving shops, deaths in the family (that one I cant fault), and, no joke, “I dropped my phone in a bucket of water and lost my contacts”..
Now it’s nearly October 2025. Over 65 weeks after I placed my order. Apparently the last 20 items are now in the mail. We’ll see.
Happy for those that had a good experience with this seller, just wanted to post mine with the strongest "do not recommend". Just don’t do it.
