Bought this car about a year and half ago or so!!It was neglected somewhat by the previous owner,Had a smashed windscreen,No lights,2 of the works were of it and fired in the boot and the car was covered top to bottom in white overspray due to being in a shed wear it seemed trucks were being sprayed and the car wasn't covered:confused:Car was undersealed just before I bought it and it seemed the whole car was fired back together,Everything was lose,Not together properly and bits falling of the car.It seemed to slip the previous owners mind to refill the diff with oil when he put the axel back in:mad::mad::mad:so emmm yea that exploded on the way home leaving myself and jdm86gtz somewhat stranded in dungarvan!!Funny enough we made it all the way from Tralee to tallow without the diff making any whines ect to give us an indication something was wrong,A few funny clunks when taking of from a stop that didn't seem to far out of the ordinary but no whines ect while sitting a steady 60 or so!!Jdm86gtz decided to give it some shoe coming up the steep hill coming out of tallow and when we cleared the top of the hill we were far from unscaved and were immediately aware we had a big problem!!You would of taught a bone dry diff sitting at 100km or so wouldn't get you very far before saying fuck this Im out of here for a drink the heat is killing me!!!Damage was done then so drive on and see how far we could get!!The side skirts fell off it at the start of our journey and then fuel rail decided to fall off and piss about 600 million gallons of fuel all over the road and nearly turned me into burnt face man also on another journey!!It was all quite an experience to say the least but sure in years looking back on things life wouldn't be fun if you didn't experience problems.Its the making of great memories and bad ones 2 but memories non the less.So I spent a bit of time getting the over spray off the car and general just trying to give it a little tidy up and make sure it drives ok which now it does thank god.Im driving the car as is now for the summer but i have a lot of plans for the car and some nice bits and pieces gathered for it..I thinking quite strongly about sr20 it.Would that be bold;)
