    Learning how to get a 10yr old running/driving car with under 100k km for $400 is the most important skill here! Great deal!

      You need to move bec you must live somewhere where the government is wayyyyy to over reaching and controlling. Here in Ohio you can have all the rusty rockers you want. I think we only have 6 counties with emissio standards and unfortunately I live in one of them lol​@@alphatrion100

      exactly. Drain plug for example in BWM should be tightened like 25 nm of torque (18 ft.lbs in freedom units).

    The bondoing over the holes and cracks works temporarily… but as soon as any moisture gets in through the back it’ll rust like crazy. Looks good to the buyers but in months time they’ll be very disappointed. But on a high note I’m excited to see where you go on your journey!

    In NYS it take a month to get your title. You can pay for rapid but that’s still 2 weeks. 1 week isn’t so bad. Except if you’re not a dealer you can buy a car privately and fix and flip it as long as you didn’t sign the title. So that’s good I guess.
