Al,
You sent me an email saying that 'Fraser' has my dash, headliner, etc. You did not provide any details on how I might contact him to retrieve said items, nor reply to my email on how that might happen. Since I entrusted you to do the work, and paid you, you could at least have the courtesy to return them personally, or, failing that, provide some more concrete details as to where they might be.

My car cannot be completed without these items, and they are holding me up...Can you do the right thing here and get them back, or is this going to go on forever?
Anyone else reading this have any insight?

Thanks,
Graham

Weeman he has every right to ask this in public. This is a community and we all deserve to know if someone is untrustworthy when it comes to sales (I am NOT saying that Al is). If you feel that this is inappropriate then talk to Anthony about setting up some kind of seller rating/feedback system to avoid this and still allow members to know if it is safe to deal with another. If someone attacks Al on a personal level then go ahead and defend him but you really need to stop trying to get in the middle of disputes between buyers and sellers unless you are one of them (no offense man).

The reason I am posting here is simply because Al does not return calls, emails or any other form of communication. Unfortunately I am down to this as the only way to recover the parts I need to complete a very expensive and time consuming restoration of an E9. 'Weeman' - if this bothers you, then maybe you can contact Al, and get him to return my stuff. Then - you would not have to hear about it. (Although given the man and his mystique, - if it ain't me looking for him, its gonna be someone else)

That's actually a very good idea.

I actually think so too. I've been wanting to ask him to do it, but I haven't got around to sending him a PM. Someone want to post it up? As a poll?

You guys know a number to reach Al?
I tried the one posted previously for the shop, but apparently it's out of service.

Ahh but one could also argue that the alleged offense was in bad taste

Bad taste?! Bad taste is ignoring people you owe money to, people like that deserve to be harassed at work.
