It'll be fine, and could have been a lot fucking worse.

Imagine buying a Citroen CX completely blind - only to realise that the photos were very flattering and the bloke had been trying to sell it for years.  For a moment, think about what this must have been like!

You've got a nice working car.  Be thankful!

wow how long is it,looks massive

This here, is the van that I purchased.  It is sound underneath, and has a new engine.  I was intending to make it into a ratrod style van, but it took me two days to get the side door open, at which point I gave up.

In addition, I have no money due to an overtime ban at work.

A lady, from Devon, purchased the engine, so now I am trying to sell just the body shell.

 

 I think that is what it means.  PODtranslate is now available to those who never asked. (The right questions at school) 😂😂😂😂🍺🍺🍺🍺👍🧐🧐🧐
