lol ! cant do a resto without the damn pistons can i ! .. .seriously tho,..car will be on here early next year hopefully...

Thanks for the support.

I didnt get his address . in hindsight, i didnt go thourgh paypal because he did me a deal to do it 'out side ' of the fleabay...not uncommon ... spoke to him a couple off times on the phone etc before doing the deal and he knew his stuff about rs's etc and seemed gen. so HOPEFULLY he's just 'unavailiable' at the mo / last couple of weeks

bastard is because i didnt go through paypal i cant make an 'official' winge on the fleabay...just be warned guys....

ARE YOU ON HERE 'KARL' ??

Set up a new eBay account, bid on the items he currently has listed and this will give you the opportunity to get in contact with using a different alias.

Try and tie him down to an address etc without giving the game away. Once you have this info go round with a few mates and ask nicely for you pistons.

Good luck in getting your money /pistons back. Hope things work out.
