Sod that!

Seeing that makes me feel a little bit better, not much though.

Want to hear a real Z rust story?

My '72 240 had been parked for about 10 years as the body was far too soft from rust; doors wouldn't close, you could see daylight through the floorboards etc, but I wanted to keep it and restore it one day.

I had to move it to my fathers to store it but knew that it was too weak to tow. So I called a tow company to have it flatbedded to the new location.

The tow truck driver was pretty skeptical as to whether it was even strong enough to pull up the ramp. I told him 'no problem' and it went up with only a few bits and pieces falling off.

We get to the new location and he undoes the chains and tilts the flatbed to start winching down the car..... when all of a sudden the car gave out a little sigh and promply broke in two at the firewall.

The front half of the car, including engine and tranny rolled off the truck trailing various gas, brake lines and wiring harnesses while the cab stayed put.

Needles to say the driver was mucho steamed. And that ended any plans I had of restoring it . So it became a parts car.

That is a tear-jerker.
