Stupid things that PO's did to your car

[txtorquemade]

PO did the remarkable and very creative solutions to the following:

1. Removed the heater valve. So...no heat. Replaced the blower motor though????
2. Destroyed the IS early valance. Held on with tape. At least its black tape on a black car.
3. Never replaced fuel filter, or any gaskets that I can tell. But swore there was a new timing belt.
4. Shift knob off a e39. Doesn't fit.
5. Replaced dampers with Bilstein HD. Not sporties. Stock springs. So...no drop.
6. Radio antenna busted. So no radio

I guess overall I dont have much to bitch about, but ..... eh. Some things are just stupid.

In a 318is i bought the PO had installed a very large GM radiator. they cut the lower mounts used speaker wire to hold it in place and blocked off all the heater lines. The car ran great. But I could not live with it that way so I fixed it all.

how are Bilstein HDs stupid? not everybody wants to lower their car just to get stiffer suspension...

Fiberglass and Bondo'd over damage instead of fixing. Then dropped money to have it painted.

time to resurrect this thread, as more stupid shit was found....

The ignition switch mounting ears were broken off, so he DUCT TAPED the switch in place, and hack sawed off the ears on the upper column trim so it would fit. The saga continues....

Mine let the paint go to shit and put gay wheels on it.

I once bought a Dart that had been sitting a while, and there were mushrooms growing on the floormats. I didn't know that was even possible.

The worst is when they are a trusted R3vlimited member, so you post a thread on their shoddy work, and they cry like a little bitch, then proceed to suck a moderators dick to get your thread taken down.

And next time I see you at the pick and pull it, don't look the other way like you don't see me, do me a favor and shove the nearest driveline up your ass you waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles.

Strut housing that had been placed in a vice and tightened down on...
Bilsteins that were then pressed into these housings...
Bilsteins that did not rebound/hardly compressed no matter what bump was hit...
= locked front suspension and the worst rock hard/bouncy ride imaginable

I havent replaced a single gasket on my car and it has a new timing belt and waterpump I put in... What are you trying to say? Dunno about you but when a gasket shits the bed it doesn't K.O the motor and call for a rebuild.
