Any auto body animals out there? I'd like to contribute my 70 convertible impala for the sake of the furry community to use for furmeets and photo shoots and cons under one condition, it needs a paint job and a new top. It's got a lot of metal work done like new trunk pan, inner and outer wheel wells and quarters im into it for less than 10000 and it's getting rained in for now the second year but it works. I'm open to offers but I'd like to keep it around for the long run even if I don't use it for years to come someone might just love finish it for there own use preferably for everyone's sake
That being said here's where it gets juicy, I'm willing to do the same for my 61 Cadillac limo but that would take slot more work
How long have these cars been driven? I can't imagine they're running very well.
Do you do auto body? I'm interested in feed back from expirienced tradesmen with money

sorry owl that was rude of me the impala ran months ago and burns blue smoke and the caddy hasn't ran in a few years but should still run with a distributor upgrade and burns leaded fuel the impala says like 7000 or 9000 miles but could be rolled once or twice on the caddy has 75000 original miles. I have a 61 caddy series 62 convertible for parts but nothing fits the series 75 limousine. The front window is list pice 3600 dollars but I seen something for 1400
Reminds me of beastie boys.
'You scream and you holler about my chevy impala' lmao.
Sorry to not be of assistance, good luck though!
It sounds like these cars might require a lot more maintenance before they are safe to drive.
My knowledge of autobody is very amateur unfortunately. I doubt I can be of any help.

last time I drove the caddy only one brake worked and the impala want to hit the ditch when you push the pedal but I did the rear breaks now

why wouldn't you do a run down of the car? Make sure everything is working good and safe before you take it on the road? If my car sits for more than a month I do a run down to make sure everything is all good and safe. I think you should take the car to a professional before it goes on the road.

That's no fun though. I think we should endorse his proffesional opinion on this and let him drive it first xD

I am a mechanic I even went to quantlen collage and did very well my problem is money I dropped my old life style and now I'm on welfare, I do not need people to tell me how to fix it or check it and if you had 4 cars and 2 trucks I'd like to see you keep up the maintenence tip top, they are my life accomplishments and I will enjoy them when the time is right but if someone else is better suited to take care of them than I will let that happen. Like a parent who cannot care for there child they go to a better home for a while. Who knows someone might just buy them but I'd appreciate seriose enquiries only. Personally if it makes someone happy to have a car like that it would make me happy to share.

I'll just put this out there. I'm a concrete pump truck operator in Union 115. There is more maintenance in that one truck in a day, than your hot wheels need in 3 months. And if you are lending your car's out from the looks of it, I have every right to say to check it over and fix it. I don't care if it's your car, I have every right to say check it over and fix it. I won't see my friends get hurt in your beater car.
If I didn't mention before the need fixing, there

Before or after you try drive it on the road? http://puu.sh/nBfi9.png let my remind you of this. All the certified machinist I know would of looked over before doing what you did.

all I did was ask if anyone wants to take over these projects

All I'm saying is why didn't you do a run down of your car before you drive it? I have never heard of anyone taking a car out with one or no breaks.

Every machinist I know always does a run done. And you should know that too, if you have a ticket, before you take a car out, do a run down. First thing they teach.

can you tell me how I can carry out your advice with no money?
: Doink March 09, 2016, 11:09:31 -07:00

Look over the car, find what you need to fix to make it safe, don't drive the car with no breaks until you have the money to get breaks. Is it hard to figure that out? Or do you need to watch more youtube on it? Or go back to school?

I don't need to check them I know they need fixing that's why I'm giving up, your trying 5o squeeze water from a stone

But yet you drove with no breaks. http://puu.sh/nBfi9.png So they do need to get a check up. You drove the cars with out good breaks, or no breaks. that says you didn't look over them nor did you care too. You drove a car with out breaks, knowing it was needing to get fixed. And you still drove without breaks.

I dont think thats how BC social services work in this anology for cars and children xD
Honestly though man, AutoTrader. Better then furry forums to sell automobiles. UsedVancouver is good too for cars.

Claiming i'm broke or without vehicles is pretty petty Doink. I'm not on welfare as well, and have good income and vehicles. Good job on keeping it proffesional.
Show me the money or get lost, someone is likely to end up with one of these cars and will be verybhappy

I just don't get it, you say you know these cars need work, but you drove it on the road WITHOUT breaks. And you say you know cars. I really don't get it.
And I'm sure her 2014 car is 10 times better.

I don't spend money on scrap but i'm if you actually knew about Autotrader or UsedVancouver it'd be gone. Anyone would tell you that. But hey, I guess insulting me works too on a help and advice board.

Great come back! Love it! I'm just saying it's not smart to test drive a car that you knew needed work and without breaks on the road. You don't know cars at all.
Your heads aren't all to brag about either there buddy.

You want to sell a car. Autotrader is one of the largest car dealing sites out there if you know how to use it.
So i might be interested in the impala if your looking to sell...
If it come to that I will but it's not cheap I paid less than 10000 for about 25000 to 30000 worth of metal work
I'll try my hardest to keep it within a circle of friends but if I hafe to than so be it
Ya.......i dont think i could afford that anyway if u decided to sell sorry. Goodluck with it though sounds like a potentially sick ride
: Sparkle dog March 09, 2016, 11:31:29 -07:00
... you say you know cars. I really don't get it.
A 9 month AST foundation course @ Kwantlen (yes, it really is a 3rd, possibly 4th-rate trades school) does not a mechanic make.
Still, that qualifies as better training than many I have seen whoring themselves out in the GVRD as 'mobile mechanics'.
A kwantlen education is like a presant in a cracker Jack box lol

Hi Doink!
It was lovely having you over for that party on Monday! It sure is hard for new furs to get established around here. It's really easy to make the wrong first impression with some people and just have people turn a bit sour on you.
Oh cool, I see you've met Kato, one of my room mates!
Hey dude it looks like all the drama is over sometimes I come across like I was borne in a barn in surrey but I'll learn to adapt
it all comes with time ! and finding people you click well with :p but with furry there is always drama :p it's if you pick to fight about it or ignore it !
