You did well. Congratulations!
I didn't mean everyone. My daughter treats her vehicle like trash. But, when she brings it to me for repairs or maintenance, I only use better than original equipment parts on it... Because I know how she treats it. Other people do the required maintenance, but just don't do anything more than is absolutely necessary.
And yes, congratulations on a good find.
Now, how do I get in on those insurance auctions?

i'm pretty sure you need a rebuilders license. you could always find someone who can bid and pay a fee (additional to the cost of the vehicle) to them.

Does the R on the windshield mean it has a R title?
