Advice please.... - 01/03/2017 21:38
This is a difficult post for me as an owner of 13 years. I might have to break/dismantle my car....
I started to refurbish it by dismantling some bits four years ago to sort out a few things including one that has never been quite correct in my eyes. The passenger door upper door seal has always sat slightly different from the drivers door. The long and short of it is that it has had a repair to the passenger rear 3/4 panel and rear end. I also believe the rear 3/4 has been welded in slightly nearer the front of the car than it should be. In my eyes its either right or wrong and its wrong!
Now I could pay a specialist to try and fix it within a given(reasonable) budget but if its was not quite correct after the work I would not be happy and then legal/financial battles begin....
I figure its easier to break it and put the raised funds to another car....although I have never removed an engine or gearbox before.
The car is a moon-grey 6 speed upgraded to plus spec with genuine Fiat parts. It has low-ish mileage 63k or so but at present has the bumpers, boot and doors removed but I have every part down to the boot nets etc!....it was also very reliable =(
Please post with advice,
thanks in advance Tom.
