Is this you car? If so I'm sorry to see this. Insurance going to cover this?

OH LOL! I felt bad for a second. Why did you strip it out? Are you trying to replace something, or hook something up? The media must know!

Ok .. so here is the story.

A little over a year ago I found this car "EuroCabi" out in California. Being a complete SPAZ I just had to have it. After a thorough test drive, having it completely checked out and another test drive by my buddy Nate who lives out there I had it shipped to me here in Florida. << BAD IDEA ( I should have driven it DAMN DAMN DAMN )

The shipper (Cars on a Truck.com << NEVER never USE THEM) picked the car up, put it on their transporter and delivered it to their holding facility here in St Pete. After they drove it off of their truck and parked it .. I got a phone call saying it was here but had developed a dead battery. Hum >> new OPTIMA ( I dont think so )

The handy lot guy told me not to worry ... after trying to jump start it a few times ( ARRrGH !! ) that they had hooked it up to a semi-truck fast charging system and it should be ready when I got there. ( OH GOD NO !! )

Sadly, it has never started again ... the catastrophic error I made was taking possession of it in its non-operating condition. (Someone slap me up-side the head) I must have been on CrAck.

Fuel pumps / dead
Relay(s) / dead
ECU / dead
Hall sending unit / dead
Ignition control unit / dead

Im just trying to peice it all back together again ... or find someone VERY good to hand it over to. I just wanted to drive it around >> not rebuild the electrical system!!!

I bet they tried to charge it OR DID charge it with the leads connected backwards.
