another good laugh

Post by 84pininfarinablack »

I had another good laugh today uncovering really really bad fiat repair.

To keep you up on my story.

waterbed patch kit repair on old top.. (just installed new top)

Someone glued light oak veneer on all my dash wood.. I had to pick it off one flake at a time.. and then scrub the glue and silicone off of every piece... What fun.

a chunk of wood is installed between catalytic converter and car body... ( I guess to stop a rattle or contact)

Painting the tan dash black ... bad job.

and today i find my front sway bar has no bushings.. just waterbed mattress vinyl wrapped around it with duct tape..
Ha .. no wonder is clacking when i hit bumps... To save $5 some joker did this.
Good lord the previous owner must of had a very tight budget.. and possibly had mcgyver working with him.

Keep looking, I'm sure you'll find more of that waterbead somewhere else on the car.
