On the one hand, I do take responsibility for the fact that I didn't look it over as well as I should have. However, the "who to blame" part was on who was to blame for the shotty workmanship! Obviously not me since I hadn't worked on it, yet! I take the blame for not catching everything when I bought it, but I refuse to take the blame for the workmanship. The tranny bolts were only loose (which I regret to inform had to have been Chris since he did the synchros). It was the bolt to the rear motor mount to the motor itself missing that really got me. Sorry, but someone would have to be an idiot to leave that out! Anyway, I'm sorry about posting in the wrong forum. Perhaps a mod could move this for me? Regardless of whether I should have checked the car out better or not, this shotty workmanship was bad enough (missing all of the cotter pins on all 4 ball joints!) that it could have cost me my life if I hadn't caught it. For this reason, I think whoever it was should step forward or be called out if you know who it was so that we can all know to be cautious of vehicles and info from this person!
