Just consider this, it may be a problem with Small Car, or it may be the
person who they did the work for who is a problem (in other words who is
doing the compaining?)  I have heard of one particular customer, who is a
lurker here on this list.  He has had problems with nearly every good VW
conversion shop on the West Coast.  Every time he opens his mouth he trashes
all of these shops, yet I know these shops have many other very satisfied
and happy customers out there.  This person has been known to have the work
finished and then sue the shops or not fully pay them (they always do
something wrong).  So if this is the case you have one of two choices:  This
guy is really unlucky, or HE is the one that is the problem and not these
shops.

I have no interest in this either way.  I don't even like Subaru conversions
(just my personal opinion, nothing against all of you out there who have
done them, if you like them that's great).  I just hate to see a guy
slandering shops when the guy himself is the problem.  Tony, pmail me the
source that you got this rumor from.  I am pretty sure I already know who it
is.

Thanks,
