I tell you what..I may not get it right the first time, but you bet your ass I end up totally redeeming myself.
Tastes change, babies happen, and most of the time you immediately regret selling the car you just had. Fortunately, the day i basically gave up hope on finding a wagon for a decent price, one fell into my lap. 4 days and a stack of Euros later, I found myself chucking deuces to my boss at 1000 on a Friday to rush 200km to see this car before someone else was supposedly showing up to get it (guy ended up having already driven 400+km and was 45min away when the PO texted him to say it was sold).
This is the first thing i saw when he pulled it out of the garage. My friends were suspect as fuck. They had their doubts about it looking too good to be true, camera hiding flaws, etc etc. I kept my composure, but I'd decided in the 1st 30 seconds..I HAD to leave with this.
Met me at the door with 2 bundles of paperwork; original documents and previous owners in one, and all the receipts for work done to the car in the past 10 years in the other. This was his baby, and he hadn't been frugal.
Now I get to walk up to this every morning.
Shitty part is Vehicle Inspection failed me for literally the dumbest shit I'd ever heard. So, all new front end components it was.
Shes needs a few things here and there, but nothing I wasn't planning on replacing or upgrading anyways. Working my way front to back on the car, front wheel bearings, rear bushings, brake overhaul. Starting on my roof rack project this weekend as well.
