    Ivan, do not take your car from that garage, they know what was done and what needs to be done and be patient. Projects like this take time and if you think you are the only one who has been in this situation, you are very wrong. And you need a shop with the proper tools to do all the necessary work. The interior sheet metal work is very challenging and unless you plan on putting aluminum foil for floorboards, you are kidding yourself. Leave the car there and let them finish the job.

    From my experience, projects like this take up to 6 months. Yours is not the only project they are working on, so they can't dedicate all of their resources to any one project. It is what it is, especially on such a custom job.

      @@tomterrell1761 exactly. And all the cars that were in there before him with owners also wanting their cars done now too. They are probably too polite to say “this will take 6 months, you’re not first inline.”
      The more of a problem the owner is, the less desire they will have to work on it.

    If you are out of sight, you are not on the shop owners mind Ivan. It’s a fine line between pushing them and motivating. You have a great personality to motivate, and it is not a small project. Think of it as a new project, stating now, set achievable daily goals. I think you are over the half way point. It is really a unique modification and we all want to see you smiling on the first test drive.

      @ yes, good point, leaning towards the advantages of UA-cam. UA-cam may not impact the business negatively, depending on his customer base , but could bring him new customers, in the spirit of keeping it positive. The owner would be sharp enough to think of the negative aspects on his own. Ivan is already thinking about an alternative approach if necessary to keep the project moving forward.

    Agree with some of the other comments, either pay the boss more to bump your car up to the front of the line or find another shop to finish the build and clean up some of the bolts that protrude from the frame. Either way be patient sir, this type of build takes a time and that’s if everything goes perfect but it rarely does. You don’t want to rush them though, that only results in mistakes and poor workmanship.

    Ivan stood over the crumpled remains of his old Datsun, his hands covered in grease and frustration. The car had been his pride and joy, a project that spanned months of late nights and endless searching for parts. But now, it sat in pieces, a shell of what it once was. The engine was partially finished, the transmission not done, and the tires were as flat as his hopes.
    He tried to talk the shop owner, desperate for help, but nobody really cared. Ping Pong was busy with his own projects, Tay Tay had his yoga classes, and Fat Tony... Tony was always too wrapped up in his own truck to notice the Datsun's plight. "Maybe next weekend," they’d say, but next weekend never came.
    As Ivan tried to reconnect the broken exhaust pipe, a passer by glanced over from the street. "That thing ever gonna run again?" he called out. Ivan shrugged, wiping his brow. "It will, eventually." The stranger just nodded and went back to walking down the street.
    The silence felt heavy. Ivan knew he was alone in this, but the Datsun was more than a car to him; it was a dream, a stubborn hope that one day, it would roar back to life leading him to the USA 🇺🇸

    You have zero knowledge and experience in such an undertaking. This is not a one week project if completed properly, professionally, and safely. In my shop you would not be allowed to do any of the work. There are too many liabilities in case you get injured. Additionally, if you screw something up. It can not be held against the shop, yet as a customer, you would try to hold it against the shop. Plus, you would be in the way of the certified technicians assigned to the vehicle. Additionally, your vehicle is not the only vehicle in the shop. So work gets sorted by priority, availability of parts, numerous things. Plus, it must be done professionally and not just hacked together. Cost is all parts and labor (by the hour on the vehicle). You are under the impression that you can walk in and go to work and supervise and make your vehicle a priority. That's not how it works. Feel fortunate, many shops would drop the hoist push it off. Bill you for the work completed. Hold the vehicle and do no further work on it. Then, when you paid the bill [100 percent]. Hand you the keys and the vehicle and wish you well. You already have more into the vehicle than you're ever going to get back in return.

    I can tell you’ve never done that if you think all that can be done in a day or two that’s a years worth of work you’re squeezing into a month you’re gonna have a problem after problem after problem when it does get finished I promise

    Dear Ivan, Watching this car being butchered by this garage is so BORING. We'd rather watch you eat a footlong hotdog. Fix your sunroof and take Evelina on the road to somewhere special. Getting news the garage did nothing on your jalopy is BORING. Shift gears and show us around your neighborhood. You can always give us a 5 minute update. Keep us engaged and we'll always have your back. ❤😂

      I think that is what his other channel is for. This one is dedicated to his car enthusiast side.

    So, why are you doing this if you want to go to the US? I would think you wouldn't be doing anything that would keep you there.

    This is such a bad idea and obviously you have to much money. This engine is far to heavy for the car and with all this staff from other brands you destroyed the car.
