Not hanging about then. Did you send the aul lad out to drive it home or something...? Lol
You've never had to experience a lada steering box have you? Lol
The seller arranged it all for me. Saves me any hassle. Only 19,000km on it apparently. Cant see it myself but no odds really.
Aw FFS John!.. This torments me!.. .. Was given a beige Riva estate years ago from local farmer complete with bailer twine and meal bags in the boot. The thing wasnt that bad at all... And I DESTRUCTION DERBY'D IT!!!.. Would have made a hilarious old sleeper and I've regretted it ever since.
Good luck with it, and would love to see it out.
