I wouldn't... Still lots of snow/ice everywhere. Plus, no safety means no insurance if some drunk fuck smashes into you you're still S.O.L.

Its pretty sweet. Hope its good to go friday!

I'm rollin' on a 24 hour permit, best $20 I've ever spent
Nah, I'd never drive without a plate. Hopefully everything goes as planned this time and it's plated on friday.

The Nightmare Continues!

Well it was sapposed to go in for a safety today, but of course the part i ordered in they ordered the wrong fucking shit, So now I"m back to waiting probly another few days till they get that in. Tomorrow its booked in for new clutch/throw-out bearing. Hopefully it shall be safetied wednesday, but really i don't have high hopes. Cars suck ahha

lol throw some pics up in the showroom i wanna see this

how come you're putting in a new clutch already?

what part did they order wrong, or didnt come in?

Well i bought it as is needing a new throw-out bearing.
While the tranny's dropped decided mid as well replace the clutch just to save hassel down the road.

Part that was ordered was the acuator for the passenger door, they ordered the driver door one...

I think thats a really good thing that your replacing the clutch, with the amount of kms it has, a new clutch would be a great selling feature in my opinion

what dumbasses!!!!

Good idea on that clutch are you getting your flywheel resurfaced as well? thats about another $50 to $80, depends on the machine shop.

Yep, I'm going all out getting everything done while it's exposed.

After getting that thing up on the lift and inspecting the car. Wasen't able to spot not even the tiniest spot of rust.
Both diff's are dry as bone no leaks to be found. Gaskets are all good no leaks nothing. Mechanically this car is sound and body wise it looks good, I'll be taking care of the exterior getting it back to that showroom lustre once everything settles down.

Well today was full of good/bad news.

Yes, infact the car passed safety and is plated. Although i get bad news that the transmission is in worse shape then expected, Needs to be overhauled Thank god i got the warranty it'll be fully covered

You know 100% that is covered? When are you planning to get it done?

Fill the tank and run it till its nearly empty and let me know how many kms you got on a tank, im intrested to see how it is on fuel

Awesome day today! So i find out that they wont cover it on warranty so ill be paying 800-1200$ out of my own pocket. On the way to Mister Transmission to see if they'd cover it, some elderly people pull out of the parking lane from oncoming and im turning left into parking lot and i did not see them pull out and of course head on collision. Bye bye any extra money i had left over.

I say that is bullshit if they were still partially in the parking lane since you can't legally drive in it, but I guess that can't really be determined now. That is very terrible news man, I feel your pain. Sucks that you didn't have your package policy on it yet (same thing happened to me for fuck sakes, first day I park my car on the street, was going to get the package policy the next morning .... BANG HIT AND RUN). At least the car passed safety and was plated when this happened, I would think it may have gotten interesting if it just had the permit on it still. I feel your pain.

That really sucks corey, shit happens though..

Just remember, its only a car, and its only money

I'm at the point where i just dont care anymore, i hope they just write the car off and i can escape this fucking nightmare.

Corey you havent even had the car long and your giving up on it.. Dont worry, im sure everything will work out fine

Dude that sucks old people shouldnt drive i swear, i hope it wasnt badly damaged, i wanna see this car in action
