Default Does anyone know this car from Rhode Island?

I bought this car about a little over a year ago. The guy I bought it from promised it was never in a crash. Little did i really know that it was and **** was bent left and right. I just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about the car since the old owner will not respond to me cause he screwed me over and I threated to take him to court for it. Here are some pictures. Im pretty sure james at ipg dealt with him on several instances. Thank you.

Any info will be great.

What was messed up?

How bad it was wrecked?

Does the car go straight?

and anything else.

THANK YOU GUYS!!

I'm pretty sure this is the build thread for this car. Looked promising.

All of this was covered with bondo. This is what i uncovered after trying to reshave the bay. I got new pieces welded back in glad to hear the car went straight! Im happy to know that atleast .

Ya that's my old car. Car was never in a wreck as far as I know. Only issues with the car was the wheel well and I explained that to you and showed you. All motor mounts lined up engine sat in there fine car drover perfectly straight. These issues that you claim that I never told you about I didn't know about them either. If I did I wouldn't have made almost 900 whp and try driving down the 1320 and go 150mph. Only reason I parted with thecar was because I had blew the motor and wanted to get out of cars. And do whatever you'd like with lawyers and court. You bought the car as is for 2500.00. Cage, suspension, mounts, fuel sump setup and all the lines. Heres my number 774 888 7289 ill tell you same thing i told you before. If you really have an issue. You spent 500 bucks to fix it for real stop with the non sense you claim if I sent you 500 it would be square like come on

First off it was 500 just for the metal to get it fixed. Then i needed to add the cost of getting all the metal welded back in. AJ you showed me a little part where you said the bondo cracked on the engine bay . The reason why it cracked was there was about 5 lbs of it in the seems to cover up the weld that were done to it, which are shown in the above pictures. Now im just hoping the car goes straight. Funny how you now pop up after i was trying to get questions about the car from you for almost a year. You got me, you win. I just wanted information about the car and if it went straight. Why would i want to do all this work if the car would never go straight. That was my main concern from day one after i slowly started to work on it little by little. I noticed ever more damage when i went to put the traction bar onto the car and it wouldnt even fit. So now i have to get that fixed. And mounts were not included in the sale.
