Almost everything that was faulty was repaired or replaced, and the car was cleaned up. Rewired the front of the car so that it could be unplugged and removed easier..
Sold it to a friend.... and then it got defected a week later. (defect = "unroadworthy" notice)
I dont know what his plans are for it now.
