Thread: (hopefully) the new addition

Not sure yet, they were supposed to sell me a car in a road worthy condition and it isn't in said condition (windscreen replacement at the very least, maybe handbrake unless they all feel not tight like that, also seat belt bottom attachment, bit sticky to get out of though clicks in well and straps all in good order)
I have it home, it fits in my garage...just... (though no lift kits for us.. eve, which is a tiny bit of a shame, a little bit more lift would have given better boob clearance lol), runs fantastic, good and strong. Sweet fa in the leakages (bit of red stuff but I've given that a wipe and nothing that actually hits the ground)... at what cost should I tell them to forget the whole thing, and come and get their car? I love it, have bonded with it (I get a bit fond of my cars)

The funny thing is, I have the car, and papers saying its mine, and RTA papers accepting that it is mine and issuing me UVP, but finance lady didn't notice rego had run out the day before I picked it up, Liberty wont settle with the car yard until car is registered again with me here in Vic... so the owner is in something of a tizzy right now, if he had handed over the car in the road worthy condition we agreed upon he would have no issue but hes had some dodgy pink slip mob let him slip the faults by them. As I said to him on the phone ' if you have sold me a car in road worthy condition as you agreed, you haev nothing to worry about do you'? lol Slimy bugger must be stressing now

Here are some pics (not normal body pics all engine bay and underside for now)

Head gasket external coolant leak?! ohno! no missing, no skipping, no heat issue, heater and aircon work great, no water in the oil, no fault read on ananocom, if its that I'll be shippin that thing back home for sure,
Is there something mechanic can do to test it? (cylinder compression check or other?) It was thought to be slight engine main seal leak and steering box leak too
