Title is misleading. Should be "WELFARE CHECK BUILT, not bought".

 

Something something dindu nuffin something something

 

Is there a point to resurrecting this trainwreck? I mostly just see the same pics over and over. I swear I've seen more swaps with better tech posted by newbs who obey the rules. I would think this belongs in GDD since there is NO TECH.

 

The last time OP came to GDD, it didn't go so well for him.

 

"All motor", no motor work, piles of cheap, knockoff parts.

So glad you're back, OP. You are a shining example of what not to do with a car.

 

Was that like the same 6 pictures copy/pasted like 9 times...man that was a lot of scrolling.

 

I want my 10 min back
