Rolled up with Stef and Onne at Guz's better half's farm. Reviewed where we are at with the Oldsmobile Discovered everything is held on with at least twice as many fastners as are necessary Had some KFC Got front panel off, finally. Had tea Stefan wondered why this bolt didn't unfasten. Can you help him children? Guz deals with the exhaust manifolds Threaten it with the crane Contemplate... Its stuck Later: Still stuck Erm, OK Don't damage the nuts Its out! Ooops. Whats the working rating of this crane again? Who doesn't love pallets? Try not to squash your assistants. Ready to go Other curse word loading into 300C 8.5x15 slots. Earmarked for other project... Ready for its new home...

Yes, Yes it is for sale.
The only reason the fat man is under the back of the car is he was the only one who could undo the rear prop shaft bolts.
Edit just noticed I am even thinner on top than I thought, think it will all be gone on top by the time i'm 40

Where there should be steel there is none, in a number of places. Using the power of bodgery large pieces of old washing machine will be bashed into the holes and welded where they touch.

I realised I could import a nice one cheaper than making this one into a nice-ish one. Plus I needed an engine & box...
The rear screen area repair is to advanced for me, and nobody I spoke to professionally wanted to undertake it.

Its a 1973 Oldsmobile 98.
That is Volksangyl's old Mk2 Polo.
That estate is on my radar but the seller seems to only want to sell it for banger racing. Go figure. Would make a nice parts chaser with a big V8 diesel in it.

Using the power of bodgery large pieces of old washing machine will be bashed into the holes and welded where they touch. hmmmm, there's a washing machine here that can be chucked in the boot if you want it ? well just the case, don't wanna risk too much weight in the back of it.
