So it's been about two months since i got the pintara to my house;
No rego or rwc and beforehand was sitting in the same spot for about 18months. Got a mobile mechanic out (who was quite frankly sh
t) and got him to service it before starting in case he wanted to change oils or whatever over. He pointed out some problems that needed fixing: brake pads, steering rack boots and cv boots - quoted $1300 to do the lot.. so i did it with dad
Only the other day we fixed that up, took it down to the mechanics to get a safety inspection done and they picked up; the gearstick popped out of the socket and was sitting on top of the heat cover for the exhaust, the bushes in the gear selector rod were.. gone, the drive belt for the water pump needed replacing, and the tyres on the back needed replacing..
But a couple days later and a total of a bit under 2 grand (including the mobile moron) its all good and now on the road.
Now its just time to start buying stuff haha
