I wasnt sure where to post it, i thought this would be most appropriate forum, but please move it whereever it belongs

Hello everyone, my name is Brad, i live in IL and decided couple months ago to get my car swapped by GT in CA. At the time GT did most swaps out of anyone, and I thought it would be worth for me to send my car down there and have it done by them.
Kevin, the owner of the shop, said that he has a guy that can ship my car, its also same guy that supplied STi motor/trans for my swap. Shipping the car there was pretty smooth, but once the car got to the shop, problems began to pile up. I was promised by Kevin himself that the swap would take no longer then 2 weeks(one week for all the work/one week to make sure everything is ok).
Well, it didn't. It took a lot longer then that, little over 2 moths(I was without the car for 3 months all together from around 07-25-2005 to 10-09-2005),
In the process the shipping guy was blaming kevin that its his fault and kevin was blaming shipping guy, saying that car is ready for 2 weeks and he doesn't want to pick it up, fun part is that I knew that kevin is still working on the car, as he told me later that he couldn't get cluster to work until last minute(week before car got shipped).
Car was shipped to me(shipping took only few days), I got the car with boost leak(fixed it same day), and leaking tranny(that was also fixed on 2 or 3rd day). The biggest problem was that car was going into limp mode almost every time I would go WOT in 2nd gear, kevin tried to help for a little while, then he just stopped answering my calls. I got most help from Paul @ East coast swappers.
Some other problems with the car:
-blown r160 diff that kevin got me(blew in a week)
-my 12v lighter thing doesn't work
-4&5 gear is grinding now
-needs STi gas tank, because car is cutting out in the corners(I was told about that by kevin after I received the car.
Kevin said that he will ship me the tank, if I pay $65 shipping fee. so I did in december....I haven't seen my gas tank yet
- I don't have a horn, nor wires to wire up the horn
Thanks for reading, now I know 2 more people that had similar problems with GT, too bad I didn't knew them before I decided to get that swap with GT.
