Hello Stan,

That guy (ROY VELARDI <royvelardi@bigpond.com.au) is just con artist.
He sent his homework assignment over 4 newsgroups, being sure that
idiots like you will solve all that instead of him while
he is dealing with searching RX3 Tailights (savanna type) for his car.
(which cost about $1700), so he is not poor student!
    Ok,ok, be fool - do assignments for that scoundrel...
He sent his assignment on 24th of May, well, look at his posting
to rec.autos.rotary being sent on 26 of May (below):
