Hey boys,

Just want to get your ideas i am looking at getting a ute right, but the bloke said his split up with the mrs and he is now in UK. Now i have done a revs check on it and its all sweet but the thing is he wants a deposit of 35% from a $25.000 sale i know its like around 9g's. The question is he wants me to do it through western union money transfer i have the details and his name and i tried to ring the contact number his given me and its saying its disconnected so i emailed him and asked for another contact number, i just want your opinion guys on whether his legit or a shonk

let me here it!!!!

When I was purchasing my bike recently, a mate at a dealership did a 'vcheck' for me (he said it usually costs around $30 but I got it for nothing), apparently it checks that the vehcile has never been written off and it covers the whole of Australia, he also said to do a revs check to make sure theres no encumbrance and revs will only tell you if its been written off in NSW. So anyone thinking of buying a car keep that in mind.

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell

      Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
