HOLY CRUD, what was that man thinking?

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUd

Whilst most would admit to being tempted at that stage, I can't think anyone would think it was an ok thing to do! Scary stuff.

why would you do that ???

How could you build up the rest of the suspension and not notice that your brackets are only tacked?????

Hope he checked the rest of the car just incase!

how bl%%dy stupid can someone get??? tack welds & G. clamps holding front suspension in place?? imagine if he,d caused an accident & someone got hurt, what an idiot!
would you buy a car that he built? i think not.

Based on an MX5 donor.

Tack weld the suspension. Hipe that he did bolt the rear subframe from the mx5 and he didn't only plase it there with the propshaft securing it.

Mine did that when a bottom ball joint stripped. It steered to a halt quite easily with no drama at all despite the wheel flapping about like a spare thing in a breeze.

what a *******!!!

The scary part is this jackass is somewere in North America and we don't have SVA.

It was for that very reason that I trailered my car to the SVA - to have an experienced pair of eyes look over my car before I took it on the road, even though I'd been over everything about a dozen times.

MikeRJ, yep you,re spot on with my mistake, i was just shocked at the whole scenario of it,
sorry hangs head in shame a case of typing before putting brain in gear.

andy

ps i still wouldn,t buy a car from that guy tho.

A little bit scary to be giving it so many beans without having given it a once over to notice little things like unwelded suspension!!!

That engine sounds like it's not very happy!! Needs sorting ASAP anyway...

Enough video evidence for a prosecution as well.
