Not mine but found it while browsing- pretty neat.

Please and thank you!

Hey all,

It’s been a while and I bought my first house and had a hell if time with issues with it, sewer line break, garage collapse…the list goes on and on. cash

Hi thanks for looking and your ideas/input.

I have now moved to rust repair. I have removed the vinyl top and rear window. Super easy to do.
