Picture are fixed, and I don't think ANYONE knows how pissed I am.

On Saturday, I uninstalled the exhaust system on the car an installed a stock exhaust system, removed all the wheels and cleaned them very well in preperation for selling them to recoupe some of my loss on this total pile of a car.

I spent 2 hours last night removing the turbo system and ran into problems there as well. I snapped a turbine flange bolt. It's still in the turbine housing, about 2 threads deep



Gee, I wonder why?



I then discovered that I could only remove 4 bolts on a 5 bolt flange ... a bolt was missing! NEVER installed evident by the exhaust leak.



What do I expect, these guys couldn't fabricate their way out of a paper bag ... they can't even get flanges to line up



I removed the turbo to find possibly the WORST welding job man has ever produced. I swear, a monkey could weld better!



The list goes on and on. I will document the entire thing in a reply to this thread ... I'm too pissed right now and can't think straight
