lol most of the stuff is major

the rear brakes dont work at all didn't even show up on the gauges

the rot on the floor is bad (hole big enough for 3 fingers)

wheel bearing is so bad he thought the wheel nuts were loose

bottom of door is totaly gone only the door card is holding it together

.... parts to do the work were colleced last night.. it's booked in for retest on monday :D
