Anyone here still close with Mike Shields AKA "lilwendal"

[six-tee-nine]

Well, most of the guys here wiil remember him as the cluster restoration guy, and most of the old timers here will certainly know him.

Mike has been my US storage for several years now. I bought parts for my car during a certain period of time and had them sent over to his house. After awhile he crated them up and shipped them over to me wich saved me large amounts of cash on shipping costs and import fees.

So almost a year ago he told me he was getting divorced and was moving out so he needed some time to move all of his and my stuff before he could fix another crate for me.
Since then he only gave me a new email adress, so no other contact info.
I have been mailing him regularly since october 2012 without any succes. I also tried his old account wich he told me still belongs to his wife, I left messages in his ebay account wich is also still active but no response from any of those.

Anyone here can give me some useful advice?

I waited a long time before finally posting this here since I really did'nt want to spread out stuff that might be personal. The last thing I want is to drag Mike trough the dirt, since I always known him as a stand up guy and he did went trough alot of hasse in the past to save a fellow gearhead some money. Several members here will probably vouch for that.
But in the end he still has alot of parts in his shed for well over 3 grand of my money.

Wonder if this is the same guy. Maybe you can contact him through Ebay.

Yeah, no word from him on my end. I was one of the last fortunate few to get a cluster redone by him and after that we exchanged a couple of follow-up emails before he went off the grid. I tried to contact him a couple of times later to see if I could refer him some work but got no response. I hope he's doing ok.

I hope he is doing ok as well. I have known Mike for close to 7-8 years now, bought a car from him, we traded some parts, etc. Met him in person. I didn't even know about the personal stuff, but i had noticed he had disappeared off the grid last couple years. He is a very stand up guy, always seemed like the type to go the extra mile even if it cost him a buck. I hope he is ok, and I am sure your parts are safe, hopefully someone closer to him in Florida can pitch in with some good news.

@ Travis,


I'd knew you would chime in..... He also still has the decklid I bought from you, Mike told me it arrived fine and wrote me to say Hi to you. That was around august 2012, one of the last times we were in touch.

@ General 01

Yes it's him, already tried to get in touch with him trough there.
