Default The Vette is finally mine.......Big D is over

Sorry about not posting alot, but everything I said was being held against me by opposing counsel. Well the divorce is now over and I ended up having to give her half of the value of the vette. Since that is over now, I will start the teardown and install of my 700R4/ minor rear suspension rebuild. I will post as I make progress and try to help the guy thinking about this swap in the near future.

Thanks for all the off forum help and I look forward to lots of new topics and friends. :cheers:

Glad to hear it Bud, I remember when you first mentioned it, and I hoped we would see you often again. Seems like it went pretty quick(compared to some), must have not had to mess with the catholic church. :crazy:

Don't hesitate to take a road trip down here, not all Lousianians are bad!!!! :lol:

Welcome back Budman. I've wandered where you had gone to. I must have missed the first "Big D" thread. Oh well, welcome back, and I'm glad to hear you still have ownership of your baby. Now on with the OD tranny install :cheers:

Welcome back!

Yours seemed to go pretty fast---mine took about 8 Ephen years and another 3 years for an anulment! Yeah, I got the ol screw job. I was to get ALL my tools back but wound up with about 1/2! :cuss :cuss :cuss It woulda cost more (Ephen lawyer fees) than they were worth to pursue getting them back.

I just went through that also, it sucks although necessary sometimes. Luckily for me I have had 14 years before I even met my ex. It didn’t hurt that it was in boxes the whole time and she didn’t think it nothing but a pile of S$&*. I can’t wait to finish my frame off and go pick my daughter up in it.:D

I'm with ya Bro! Along with all of the other debt my ex left me with, I had to pay off the loan for and give her my pristine low mileage 98 truck. Otherwise, she wanted me to sell the vette and give her half. I had bought the vette 6 months earlier at her insistance with bonus money I earned! So I ended up with a crappy minivan and my vette. Once all was over, sold the minivan and bought a nice used 300zx for my driver. Now all is good. I'm glad for you that yours is finally over too! Now you can enjoy life again. :cheers:
