JimmyGlen 13 Posted December 7, 2018 Fair play AD, but I just see grief written all over that. The greased up brake pipes (obviously to get it to scrape through its last test) and the rotten sills together with the mileage, just no. Good cars can go wrong and cause problems, but stuff like this, is like welcome problems with open arms. Sometimes its not all about the profit. Sanity is priceless.
