It always amuses me in these ads when the turkey selling it says there is something wrong like an oil leak but should be an 'easy fix'. Well if it was so easy why don't they fix it before they sell it. the term 'easy fix' = $$$$$$

Also that bottom one is hilarious. Apparently the rust can be fixed easily with a bit of 'bog work' including the hole above the winscreen. BAHAHAHAHAHA!! Once again $$$$$$$.

I agree......small oil leak could be a hole in the block and a bit of blue tack will do....bog as a rust repair is a cheap option....FOR THE VERY SHORT TERM!!!!......still a variety of vans for a change...hasn't been any for a while.

depends what you cann "short term" i recon it lasts a while.. painting a car for a bloke tis week. he gets a bog job done every 5 years. new paint (on the cheap obviously) but its well ready for another bog job after 5 years.

i recon welding it properly is less headaches lol

the red one looks similar to the one I had in the early 90's, if only it had the burgandy interior and dragways
make it reliable, or smash it with a big hammer
