It's difficult to fathom the reason and validity to purchase this car given its condition. Okay, I know it's cheap, and the potential parts value will sooner or later justify the purchase - I will say later, given the amount of time needed to dismantle to save various components, especially in relation to larger items such as engine, gearbox etc. and some of the hydraulic components. However, it's all a lottery and reminds me of bidding on the contents of abandoned storage facilities that are not open prior to bidding. At least, with this 6.9 one can see what you're letting yourself in for. Punishment. Regards Styria
