Satsuriku · 01-08-2008, 10:16 AM

im heading over to the bank tomorrow to see what i can work out with a consolidation loan of some kind. dont want to say too much about it, but if i get it, ill be on board for sure and if not, well im going to try and work it out somehow cause i dont want to miss this damn kit and being the only canadian with one

Well I’ll just cut to the chase! Stoopidalero has just had to back out as the donor car for our buy. His new employer will not give him the time off. Yes it sucks but there is nothing he can do about it. I found this out yesterday but have been researching other options before letting you know.

Paulyb now that your back on the forum, if you want to still be the donor let me know ASAP!!

Jose Rivas is already out to sea, but has already made arrangements for payment with bodykits if this ever goes thru.

I had a pretty good backup plan started when he posted about his new job. I have to be in the San Francisco area for company meetings starting on Feb 3rd. I would have driven out to LA dropped off my Alero and then I could catch a shuttle flight to Sacramento to attend a week of meetings at the winery. I had all the details worked out just in case.

Bodykits finally returned my call today. I told him our situation and that I might drive out there and deliver it myself. I explained that my Alero was not the intended car for the kit I was ordering on the buy. I asked him about the process they use to make the molds and kit. It was then that I knew I could not be the donor car. Nobody is drilling holes into my Final 500 bumpers.

I am trying to locate junkyards in the LA area to see if they have any Aleros that might have a blown engines etc. with intact front and rear bumpers and possibly rent the car from them for 6 weeks and then have them deliver it and take it away once they have taken off the OSV kit.

That actually sounds like a very good idea. Although, it might be hard to find an Alero there where the body is in really good shape so Bodykits can properly fit the osv kit to our cars.... Just an idea... don't know if this would work, but maybe you could ask them if someone they know has an Alero over there that would be interested in the bodykit and donate their car for us...... Wouldn't hurt to ask.

Asked a long time ago.

I figured you would have asked them, but I wanted to check. Hopefully everything works out.

ya know, that whole scenario is unfortunate, but here's the part of that whole thing that bothered me the most:

The guy took a couple of days off, don't read to much into it BJ.

cherrington17 · 01-10-2008, 11:49 AM

so.. we really have no members on the west coast?

or just none that are interested?

paulyb · 01-10-2008, 12:10 PM

Olds tell me when the car needs to be there so I can make the shipping arrangments.

black · 01-10-2008, 12:42 PM

paulyb to the rescue!!!

Silentalero · 01-10-2008, 01:03 PM

or if anybody wants to drive mine over, the offer still stands

YALEROYNOT · 01-10-2008, 01:14 PM

my car would be there if i wasn't on the other side of the country. Im not going back to work till april. Im not aloud to drive till feb so i don't need it. hope it works out. money wise i can't get in on the deal but im excited for it to happen.

Trickyslick · 01-10-2008, 02:37 PM

I would love to do it I just dont have any other mode of transportation...I am in AZ and only 7 hours to Los Angelos.

doubleN0alero · 01-10-2008, 02:39 PM

If you all pay for the flight, i'll fly from clt to chicago, drive marcs car out and then fly back...no big...but I'm not paying for the flight. I'll even just sleep in the car or not at all...and I'll buy my own food.

black · 01-10-2008, 03:06 PM

please get an idea of the cost of the flight.

i thought we were going to throw about $20-$50/ea towards cost for the person
that was going to do this anyway...

i have no problem with helping to offset the cost.

paulyb · 01-10-2008, 04:20 PM

However the group decides, all i know is i want to make sure were all paid up and the arrangments with bodykits.org is made, the last thing i want is to ship my car there and have it fall threw, exspecialy since its being shipped both ways.

dood Marc's car had issues driving to Lansing i wouldn't trust it to drive to Cali.

You could drive mine to Cali..........if your body could take it.

StoopidAlero · 01-10-2008, 04:26 PM

Yea, flights from ontario CA to St.louis are 199 one way with tax and fees. Gas, food, and lodging to get to cali from st.louis is approx. 450. I'm terribly sorry I can't be the donor car. Hopefully everyone understands that this job is financial security for me and this is my career. Again, very sorry. Brandon
