Default Dash & Pod refurbishment

Anyone on here - or have any experience with this Esty vendor? Found their listing on the local CL. Calling them/him self "Porsche928interiors."

https://www.etsy.com/listing/2770307...?ref=related-3

No affiliation.... Just curious, never heard anything about them in the Norcal 928 community.

Edit: As you will see below, this guy is a scammer....

That is him. Ask Kevin (aka jetson8859) or RichVM about the results and customer service.

Definitely him. If you follow the links, his name is on the "Shop."

https://www.etsy.com/shop/Porsche928...shop-info-name

He has a bit of history on here, too:

In case you missed it, see the "I think I've been scammed" thread for info about William's new RennList ID.

That is true. I have a 90+ that I used as a test subject. And I have a pod donated by Bureau13 that will be ready in the next week or two. I want to avoid the cluster that Jewitt created by not over promising. The 90+ pod gets resurfaced soon. It is a learning experience for me.

Default William Jewett

He got me as well. Two years ago, paid for a pod and a dash. Got the pod but never the dash. Feigned innocence and then full of excuses. Then stops communicating.

. ...I feel like such an *** for not researching on Rennlist about William Jewett (Willbj3) the scumbag. I had communicated with William for a few months about my dash, pod, door panels and headliner. In November I decided I was ready to have the pieces redone and since William was near by he came over and picked up the pieces. He seemed knowledgeable about 928's and 914 and was personable. William turned the parts in 10 days and delivered them back to me, everything looked to be done well except for the headliner needed work where I had him fill in the drivers visor vanity mirror hole. He said he would take it back and fix it and would return it when he got back from Oregon in a week or so. Like a dumb *** I paid him in full for everything since it was the holidays and he needed money. Since then, he promised to drop off headliner 3 times and then went silent. After a few weeks he said he was in AZ for family emergency and he would return in a week and give me my headliner, that was 2 weeks ago. William has blocked my phone number and does not reply to texts, or emails. He still has his craiglist ad up which he up dates often, but his Itsey site is no longer active.
Please be on the look out for a Black Sun roof delete headliner with vanity mirror cutout in the passenger side and filled in on the drivers side.

Beware....
I posted a ad with his same discription and added SCAM. Then outlined what a scum bag he is.

He posts a lot on 914 World.com. His user name is 914 World. He posts a lot of for sale items. I am going to share with the forum about what an A hole he is once I am able to post.
