continued excuses led to paypal claim filed for 1080 refund

tracked down owner of company, has 13 mutual friends with me- like actual people i have spoke face to face with.  messages and emails line up to phone number and location. 

https://www.bbb.org/us/ms/ocean-springs/profile/new-auto-parts/hq-offroad-0523-235879013 


HQ offroad was wipped from the internet this week, no FB page or website active, still on google (shows his home address? ).  work experience on his personal profile has been removed relating to HQ. 


next best option was (4) 1550 Branik joints ordered at cost through cora & ECGS @ 1525 bah.  Fing bah!  hopefully its just the 500$ added expense and not 1080$ lesson, says sept7 for paypal default

I am truly impressed with this build, the mechanic, the operator, and the spotter ;)
