Fucking fuckity-fuckin' hell.
Scrappy, my old Mazda B-Series pickup got towed for not having up-to-date inspection tags. I got him back out, but god damn did it ever cost me.
Either way, it's driven home the point that if I want to keep my truck, then I need to get cracking on the restoration effort.
But first, let's just see how bad it is...
Not too bad, actually.
I just need to fix the leak around the water pump, change the oil, get the old gas out, and put fresh gas in with a whole bottle of seafoam to help clear it out.
The real pain is going to be fixing all the collision damage. Straightening the frame probably won't be too terribly expensive, but I'm probably going to want to see about having some extra steel plate to reinforce it in a few critical spots.
Throw all this onto the pile of shit I gotta deal with as well as the fact that my account is about to go about $650 into the negative once the rent check clears... If it doesn't get bounced. *SIGHS*
