The apache stepside was according to seller ready to be registered and inspected, it was NOT
Seller paid for new windscreen to be flow in from the US, and 2 new front fenders in fiberglass, but other than a few acetylene torch cuts in various frame parts to make room for headers on the early 90ties small block some how bolted to the ( i think ) original 3 speed transmission.
O and then the mounts for the motor / transmission, just 3/4 steel cut with blow torch, no dampning what so ever in it, i assume CUZ with new motor it all landed in different place so you had to do custom mounts for that, and some US guy dident bother.
But the damn thing was in a reasonable good state otherwise, even the motor, which my friend for some strange reason still took apart, CUZ when he got it we drove in it for a week or two on temporary plates.
Alsi i had to reskin both doors, they was a mix of old street signs and putty,,,,, lots of putty.
Later the 1985 Dodge ram charger he got,,,,,, that was a mess of epic proportions, and it should never have sold to anyone.
Really my friend should NOT buy used cars CUZ he is NO GOOD at it, the same also apply thge the Mercedes wagon he drive now, which he for unknown reasons got instead of a brand new / few years old Dacia wagon he had which was 0 problems and 0 owner costs.
Mercedes already cost him a ton of money he do no longer have as the rest of his inheritance was sunk into that and a Yamaha motorcycle that worked for a year and now collect dust in his garage with what we assume is a brokem CARB.
