[QUOTE="Clem, post: 648875, member: 15"] I once bought a bay on eBay , late at night, last minute deal. Advertised as a just finished restoration. Went collect and drive it home (about 100 miles) and honoured the deal realising it was a bit of a mess. The awful paint job, lashed up repairs and air gapped panels were one thing but driving it was another …. Tightened all four wheels after a couple of miles (155/14 tyres all round were revving a bit too!). Got it home and all the beam bolts were finger tight, trailing arms grub screws missing, dampers loose … you get the drift. Belly pans underneath had been replaced by one massive sheet that went from sill to sill :) Went through it , fixed it up, mot’d it and moved it on. It was a laugh but I do sometimes think how that drive home could have gone badly wrong. [/QUOTE]
