Finally the pics of the car ... it is approx a year into the ownership of this car and it certainly has drained my budget. Did not really expect this amount of expenditure to maintain this vehicle when i got it. Realize now that it must be a melon or am getting round to attending to all the issues the previous owner neglected. Have had some moments where i really wanted to cut my losses and drive it to the "heap Yard". But today i am happy with it. Drives and behaves as it should. These pics are from the late summer of 08. Updated pics will follow when the weather improves around here and i get round to washing the grime of it. | | | | | 03-26-2009, 12:43 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Rocky Mountains Posts: 610 |

Welcome. I'm in South Western Ontario as well. I'm currently working on fixing some oil leaks on the M42. I've spent a lot of $ in the last couple of months on repairs but soon I'll have everything looked after and auto crossing the hell out of it. __________________

Welcome to the .org! Don't worry about all the expenses, after a while you'll have everything fixed and it will be the best car you ever own for the next 20-40,000 miles. At that point as long as you regularly maintain the car, you'll be all set. __________________  | | | | |
