Tom, The car was not a bucket of shit, it was a 30 year old Datsun 1600 that you bought for $1000.00 It has a little rust in the rear 1/4's none in the fenders, I never looked at the A-pillars but you say there was rust, I guess I can't dispute it cause I did not know. As far as I remember it never had any rust under the doors, the pannel that runns the whole length down both sides.
The STi seats are not in my SSS they are in my wagon, get your facts right will you. I know of atleast two people in Adelaide who recon the car was worth the money, so stop crying about it. I was fair to you the whole time you were like ohh can I extend the payment date a little longer, please just a little longer. By rights I coulda kept the car and your deposit afer you didn't pay by the date we had agreed. Time to get over it Tom Later.
