He has already told me “pay me what I owe him (?) and take your car someplace else”. Unacceptable / Impossible I've told him. I've reached the end of my patience and his excuses. I'm close to filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau but If the BBB does result in a satisfactory solution I suspect I will need a lawyer. I would clearly prefer not to go down these paths but he is leaving me with no options.
BTW he isn't wanting for and parts (minimal part such as new rubber all provided by me) and there has been very minimal body work required.
Any recommendation for a good lawyer for a case like this?
Or even a shop that would tackle putting the car back together - its 90% painted (10% are under bonnet details, firewall, bracing, air cleaners, spare tire area, etc) and beautiful?

For a 2-3 month contracted project why would you wait 16 months to complain?
