When your word and a handshake dont mean s--t

Hi All, The worst thing that could possibly happen happened to me today. I never thought someone could steep this low or be so cold. I had contacted a man lets name him bill to buy his 54 and them sold my good white 54 to buy bills 54. I had also sold the pan to someone else in melbourne but promised the new owner of the white 54 that he could have bills pan. The plan was all going goo and I saw bill only a few weeks ago and everything was fine. I went down there today to pay the rest of the money off to him and he said sorry I have changed my mind and decieded to keep it. and handed me the money back. Someone in the VOLKS ENTHUISAST CLUB in ADELAIDE had told him that it was worth heaps more than the 3000 I was paying for it and that he should hang onto it. Now I dont know about you or me but when you have a agreement like this you stick to it, you just cant change your mind at the last minute like that. An agreement is an agreement. It is morally wrong to do this. Not only this but the owner of the white 54 now has no pan and I have lost a really good car and am back to square one looking for a suitable car so not only 1 of have lost out ion this deal gone sour but two of us. I feel really bad for the new owner of the white 54 and I dont know what to say but sorry as I know you will read this. As for the club, you can go to hell and bill the member, I also dont know what you are thinking in your head or where your heart or how you could do this to someone and sleep at night. So if anyone out there has a 54 pan close to october please let me know as I have to fix up the owner of the white car... as for me I am going to say F--k it to VW's and build something else. I am that pissed off. T54

Why not go an IRS Ball joint pan instead. Maybe its a message from above. Or have I not earnt enough respect to appreciate a 54 as it was originally created.

I once paid a deposit on a split panel to a guy on the Gold Coast, when i arranged to pick he informed me that he had sold it, when i asked him to depsoit the moneyin my account or send me a cheque, he said no he was keeping my deposit...eventually he gave it back, but was a real prick about it. He is no longer in business...

Everything happens for a reason.

We have a positive saying around our house that everything works out in the end. I really dont know what it means exactly but somehow we always land on our feet.

Firstly I want to say thanks for everyone offers and support. You've been great. Dan, I love your car but that what it is... your car. Dont sell it mate, try hard to hang onto it. I know that a house is important but you've had it for such a long time.

I also put the mayday out to a few other friends and looks like I have come up trumps. I am going to look at a late 54, fresh silver paint , just needs a few little touch ups, really straight and has lots of spares. The funny thing is the price is right... come on down.

The guy also has a really good set of heads and brand new BRM's still in the box for sale also. It is a project that he just cant finish.

So Bill, thanks wanker... you have acutally done me a favour and I really dont think you'll get any more than the agreed price. I had lots of offers of complete cars, pans, bodies, I'm agreeing with Pete Wood, there really not that rare. Just desirable.
Greg, will call you today, do you want to come and have a look tomorrow night after work?

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

Sounds cool T54, glad you've found something so good, so quick. Dunno about tomorrow night I should be working, under the pump with my "on the side" work so I should be trying to get that done. Never know though, will see how I'm going. Weekend aint looking much better, pretty much stuffed both days. Give me a call though.

Find out some details on those heads too, depending on how things go they could be a good option for me.

Right though, 54's aren't that rare, just less common than 70's bugs. They are out there you just have to look.

Cheers
