| 1286610 | 2012-07-07 07:52:00 | Yeah, I endorse what Lawrence has said. It's probably just a broken lug or two where the whole thing gets screwed to the main frame. They look pathetically flimsy from day one, but a plastic weld will get it sorted. I've spoken to painters about my own, and the attitude I got from them was that these plastic bits are buggers to paint properly. If the cosmetics aren't too important I'd just bog it and seal it and leave it at that. |

| 1286613 | 2012-07-07 10:06:00 | LOL was a 1971 Ford Fairlane V8, original condition...it was quite difficult to sell..... the sentimental value was enormous, but it also proved to hard for me to keep. sigh and the bambina was a 1964 model. this proved to be slightly easier to sell... Both vehicles went to actual people who wanted themand had the time and money and knowledge to fix them and get them on the road again... yes i am sad i sold them, but no way could i get them back on the road. money became a real issue....lol beetle |

| 1286615 | 2012-07-07 10:28:00 | Hard to sell? Only thing stopping people these days would be the V8. Not at nice as the '59 Galaxie, still would have crawled my way over to it ahaha, I understand the sentimental, that's a big one. Cost and storage are big ones too. I hope the new owners enjoy them though. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
