Picked this up today :lol:

Reg / Wof $300.... my new work hack!

I will be honest, I think its the worst car I have ever driven.
The gearbox sounds like a washing machine on full spin...
Wheels & brakes squeak, it smells (bad), it shakes, rattles AND rolls.
C.V's knackered , water pump is leaking, its covered in rust kill but the rust is winning,
there is a short in the stereo that makes a red light on the dash come on randomly,
only 1 light bulb goes..etc.etc... you get the idea.

If it lasts me 3 months I would be happy, lol

Got the rear end in last weekend so at least now I can roll it outside and get stuck into it :D

Cheers to Andy (z181200) for the Diff & Axles & Kitch for the leaf springs + bits to put it all together.

Kids are great to pose in front of rusty bits :wink:

Getting a fair collection of parts now too, plus have got a donor car lined up for the interior & other little bit's.

Thats some nice rust you got there :o
Dont worry it happens to the best of us, I guess its just up to you on weather or not to carry on with it, All depends on how much time, work n money you are prepared to inject into the car.
I wasnt sure about mine when i found its rusty bits but has all worked out in the end. :D
Best of luck
