Yes, unfortunately thats what happened... Long story, but here is short version...
Kid wanted all this work done, mom was paying, she paid us a little to start, then a little more while doing, she would come in and out, says stop work on car, cause son acting a fool or what ever, then start again, then stop, then start, and then we finish car, well 99%, we kept calling, come get car and please pay us.... no calls back, after about 6-8 months of this , were like listen please come get car, I will give you deal, will take less just to get car out of here, she says dont have money right now, can i take car, pay later, i say no, pay or car stays, another 6 months go by i keep calling. im like listen just make payments and once paid, car can leave, still no calls, every once in while i catch them on phone, they say oh, call you back, still no calls, i finally say fine, contacted title company, say i got car, not fully paid for, they say bring paperwork, i bring down, they file LIEN, i wait 30 days to finalize with state, car now mine, i dont want, just want some money back out of job, car for sale....
As a quick follow up... Not real funny to me, as i dont ever like to do stuff like that... I mean i tried everything for over a year to work this out... I understand if people can have a tough time, but heck i would have taken $50 week just to work out. may not be much, but when you just outright dont talk with me, what is a business supposed to do..
I had to do basically same thing for a big local radio station, only they had vehicle on a trade agreement for advertising, I had it all on a full 30 page contract, they fell through on their end, I went and repo'd vehicle right from their worksite... They had to pay me full price on custom work..... The laws the law. And a contract signed is firm as hell.... With a repo, you take vehicle, and you can sell at private auction and dont even have to notify the owner... Any shop out there that wants to do this type of agreement for advertising or any type of trade, i would be happy to send you copy of my contract i made up, covers your rights to a tee so you dont get screwed.

WOW.. I noticed you're in the DFW. Mind telling what station it was?? My guess is 97.9 or 104.5
Man that car looks like it has a B16 swap in it too, I'd be very interested if it weren't for all that extra body work and 96+ front end. BTW.. it's spelled vtec.
semi-related, at least you get a free bump, but how much did it cost to do all that fiberglass work?
I want something like that in my 96 jimmy so it doesn't look like I just threw a box in the back.
was several thousand in man hours... of course there was full dynamat as well, every piece of the car.. Fiberglass work not cheap.... if you spend the time yourself of course the materials are not a ton of money, its the amount of time spent on it.. Our resin sprayer we had at the time was a 8k piece of equiptment, no counting the countless hours of hand sanding etc...

Damn! I thought it was easier than that...
If I were you, I would personally turn that car into a show car, because I doubt anyone will buy it like that without it being an award winner.
Sell your main car maybe?
Or make it the shops personal advertising car, so when people look in, they can see the awesome work you guys do.
I really doubt anyone would buy that, it's just too expensive and you wouldn't want to lose money on the work you did.
At the very least, sell it for what it cost you, so you can break even.
I wouldn't mind some high-res pictures of the inside AND out if you had them as well
P.S. a candy paint job and body kit and rims would do wonders for helping it sell
my brother, and so many of his friends about how every day they leave their high school its sooooo loud. because all the guys with honda civics, integers, accords, acuras.
they all have fart can and just floor it around like its open track day at the school.
