Just visiting ( on a freakin library computer ) Thought I would just drop by at update everyone. Especially those waiting for parts. FINALLY parts are in. The 2 low alt brackets are finished, I had to special order the upper mount section but they are done. Mount sets are being welded right now, but all parts are in and I have enough parts for approximatly 50 or more sets. YES that means sets will be in stock and ready for shipping !!!!! production of the last six boxes of parts is also being done which means even more parts.

Still have no shop, no computer, no internet, no income and no place to go. We are currently selling stuff ( cars etc ) to make house payment etc. If this doesnt stay current we will need to sell the house too. I'll be posting in the Mall if there is any interest in a 2003 GMC Sierra Crew Cab Quadrasteer. If something doesnt happen soon the PURPLE REIGN goes up for sale too.

I'll stop by once in a while to check P.M.'s & threads :/ see ya'll later.

Wow, I had not known things were that tough on you right now Purple Reign. I hope you can get it turned around quickly, and certainly hope that you don't have to sell Purple Reign to stay afloat! Good hearing from you, and best of luck!!

AFAIK (Kev will probably have better details) - When PR's original lease expired, the building owners refused to renew it (effectively kicking him out of his location). By the time Wheatstock rolled around (less than a week prior to having to be out) he was working on a deal for another location - which fell through at the last minute. So he then, with the help of a number of other people, moved everything from his shop to his home (much of which is still either packed into a garage or stuffed inside a 24' box truck). He's been trying to continue working on customer's car in his driveway, and is apparantly now in the process of moving a couple of lifts to his in-laws pole shed to get a few larger projects back on track.

So... that's about all I know. We're all hoping to see Integrity Auto back on track soon!

Sorry, I thought it obvious that I was referring to his 3800 S/C Purple Fiero in addition to the "standards" we all find in life...

Yeah I would think he has a bit more tied up in PR than yello. Yello's a sweet ride, with lots invested, but his is mind bogling to some people. Keep plugging man. It'l lwork out in the end.

Wow well I'm seriously glad I bought the bracket from you, not sure how much money you get from doing that, cause I know you said just send the fiero alt and the rest would be taken care of.

good luck, keep us updated hopefully things pick up fast for you.

Hi all.............I got on my in-law's computer ( with REALLY slow dial-up ) so the current status is I'm working on putting up 2 lifts here etc temporarily ( if this place can handle it electrically ). Still havent found a place yet, so I'm currently reverting to a different option of finding a mid-sized "hobby-farm" instead of trying to buy a commercial building. Doing all this by myself is really hard too on top of health issues going downhill

We really need to sell the truck soon to buy me some time. At least 1 car sold so I made house payment & bought myself another month.

Rob ................couldnt have said it better myself.
Anyhow..........I better get back to work...............

Shawn,

1. Do you make house calls? Got some Fiero work that might bring in a few bucks if you have the time.
Thinking fuel pump is out on the Formula. Could be PIA without a lift.

2. As a result, need my truck back. Can I make arrangements to deliver your stuff somewhere?

Good Luck and we will be talking with ya. We're pulling for you and the family. Jeff

Well unfortunatly nothing has turned up for a place to go. The shop has been gone for a month and a half now and vendors are looking for payment from the shop - including the government who's looking for my house. I REALLY need to sell the 2003 GMC, or the 49' car trailer soon. The house should be on the market within the month. If all else fails we might move to the in-laws farm an hour away, live in the basement and store the stuff in the barn until the dust settles. Looking for a property where you can live & do business at the same time is really hard to find ( that is close to the cities )

Anyhow on the bright side I got 3 sets of mounts ready to be shipped, and 2 lifts put up in the barn to finish Edzards conversion & another local conversion.

Shawn,

If there was anything I could do, I would... I wish I was going to be able to make it up Minneapolis this weekend, but it looks like I won't be able to make it. Chrissy and I are getting ready to be moving Sept. 1, so we're busy packing and sorting, but there's still some hope that I might get up there on Saturday.

I can't wait to see Dick and Nancy's car when you're done!

Wishing the best for you and your family...

Hey Shaun,

My parent are selling there 10 acre farm in Princeton. It already has two garages, a small out building, barn, and pool. This is a house that needs some TLC. It might be what you are looking for. I the price is about $200,000. Not bad considering the space. The garage attached to the house might be tall enough for a lift. Give me a call and I can fill you in on some more details. They lost both there jobs and have to sell before the bank takes it.
