19cturbo Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Myself and harry have both been waiting on a job to be completed that is holding us back from finishing our cars.. whos will get completed first.. Olive8 (harry) is 4 months deep on a paint job... im 11 weeks deep on a 6-8 week turnaround on a heavy duty transmission rebuild. So the question is, who will get their project back together first, since neither of us have any control of whats holding us back, we leave it up to you! lol take a vote..

jszucs Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Need more info. Is a pro shop doing each? is a "friend" doing each job in there spare time ECT? Anything specail about the paint job? Any rust / dent repair in that paint job or just a straight up DA and spray. Special paint or colors? What trans stock or other? What kind of "high performace" rebuild? IE building a bullet proff dog box? Having custom gears cut ECT? Just not enough info to make a call.

19cturbo Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 his car was ready to be painted when he dropped it off, its a friend of his but indeed a pro shop my transmission is in fresno california at Marlin Crawler being redone.. indeed a pro shop (the heavy duty rebuild includes, new bearings, seals, syncros, billet shift fork, bearing retainer, and a titanium thrust bearing) The transmission is a stock R154 that goes behind my 1jz, and Marlin crawler is one of the best in the country when it comes to toyota transmissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it happen 3 times now myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 dont take that the wrong way, he is still paying the guy to do the job, so its a paying project, not a side for free project Is he paying the going rate the shop normally charges, or getting a "buddy" price? Whoever is getting the buddy price will be the last to get their's back. You guys might want to add Niko's car to this... I was supposed to have it done months ago, but since this isn't my full time job, and some things came up, it's taken me a whole lot longer than I expected, which I feel awful about. I'm sure someone could have done it faster, but Niko probably would have spent twice as much having someone else do it. With any project, there are 3 aspects... Good, Cheap, and Fast. Pick 2 because you can't have all 3. My work may take a while, but it looks awesome, and it's half the price of a regular shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19cturbo Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 everyone please note: this is not super serious haha! just me and harry having a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Oh, I know, it just hits home with me a little right now because I feel bad about the timeframe on Nick's car. I've been watching the progress on Harry's car, and felt sorry for him. That's a long time to wait for what I believe is just a fairly basic paint job. What I'm curious to see is if Harry has to wait as long for his fairly basic job as Nick has had to wait for me to do rust repair, smooth every single dent (there were a LOT of them LOL), then get the body laser straight and a paint job with a show quality finish and extra layers of clear. It's starting to look like Niko's car will be done quicker LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
