PSP needs help!

After the Dasilva xmas party which was packed with people and cars. I went to visit PSP and what a surprise. The shop had no cars and no engine work. Paul was there and very disappointed at the times. He told me if things don't pick up soon he will be closing the doors.
If anyone needs work done on their car please give him a call.

Welcome to the economy.

Paul doesnt seem very active in communities, online ones. Times change, generations of people turn to the internet as their main resource for information, IMO, PSP has let the boat go.

Good news is, PSP can always join any one of the sites out there promoting mustangs.

Times have changed, word of mouth is not enough.

I wish him the best of luck in the new year.

he seems like a nice guy, but his salemanship is not very good.

i went to his shop a couple of years ago to build my engine and he gave me the story that he was very busy and if i wanted an engine he would need to get started asap. well i ended up going to another shop and indicated that paul always uses the same story about being busy trying to show people that he is high demand and push them to make a decision.

I've dealt with Paul for many years and he is not that type of person, if he was busy he would tell it to you straight. Whoever told you that, is full of crap. There's a reason Paul won the 'Sportsman of the Year' award from MM+FF mag, I dunno if they ever handed that award out again but Paul is one helluva guy! He's always been there to help, whether you're buying something or just at the track racing. If I were still in TO I'd be doing what I could to drum up some support for the guy, we can't let one of the Original Canadian Mustang guys go out like this!!!!!

^^^^ Please don't talk about "sportsman of the year" you don't even know what that was for!

Paul does need to get with the times,but I never thought it would come to this.
He brother has been warning him for years, I guess he was right.

well that was MY experience, funny how someone knew the story before even telling it.

In the past i was very critical of Joe myself. He kinda snuffed me one time one when I spoke with him on the phone and it really pissed me off. Years later, about 5 I got a chance to sit and chat with him again and I am glad I did. It somewhat mended some things with him.

Ive only spoken to Paul once or twice in my life, once to get pricing from him. I do know the result was I went somewhere else, but he was a decent guy.

Times are really tough for people, shops are slashing prices just to stay a float and PSP, it's like they don't exist on the net which doesnt help.

As for Joe warning him... hasnt Joe moved out of TO even farther east? Economics man, Joe may just have less overheard or can service more cars at once.

I think we ALL knew that when J&P split, one of them was going to fail, its taken some time but this could be it.

The problem is guys like you who don't want to pay top dollar! So you went elsewhere and your car is still lacking the power it should have
All that work and money, even a big stuff 3 EFI and it still makes no power

Now would be a good time for you to return to paul and have him fix that PILE :laughhard

spend lots$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and be :tongue:

or spend $$ and get this

Thats funny mine put down 511 RWHP with his built engine mine seams to work great
Who built yours? How much power you got there Floater?

Paul is a great guy and I have not had a problem with him.
But that is also a personal preference.

I hope you didn't join this forum to bad mouth people and start trouble as I see you only have 3 posts. We would like you to stay so please keep it clean and don't start trouble.
Thanks.
