You guys need to remember there was a time these cars were just cheap used cars that got bad gas mileage and people were not that worried about how they were fixed back then

They are all hiding something! It's not a big deal and I expected something. I crawled all over the car before buying it and after, I never saw a sign of anything being replaced. It will be fixed and looking good in no time.

That's true. Perhaps it's just me. I believe in doing things right the first time. Just the way I was taught, but they maybe this was someone learning or something. No biggie.

Sorry to see you found some hidden issues. We all know it'll be done 110% the right way when you're done with it.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

There are some real bondo artists. When I first striped my car 13 years ago one of the original fenders looked mint. Then I found out after getting it to bare metal that a 1/4 of the fender was filler! Never could tell with paint on it. You are correct in saying they all are hiding something....but they all can be fixed.

It's not a big deal and I expected something. We all hope it will be that it will be perfect, but they never are. It'll be good to go in no time!
