This idea came to me as i was posting this in another thread. Everyone here haslikely had areal POS at some point during their life. And part of what makes a POS a POS is rigging it together to work....Let's here your best ghetto-rigged object on a car you've owned, or a friend has owned, etc...i've got too.

i had an 86 nissan sentra where the iginition switch went out. car was 8 yrs on, 140k on it. put a toggle switch under the dash to turn the starter motor over.

a co-worker owned a late 80s chevy nova (the corolla relative). It was a 5sp, but the car would not stay in 5th gear. So, to hold it in gear, he used a bungee cord attached to the ashtry and the glove box.

 

We had an old escort and the fenders rusted through. So to keep water, snow, and rocks outta the car we duct taped a thick garbage back of the huge holes. It sure was loud when it was wet out!

My dad alos had a Pinto when the gas prices were super high back then and then someone hit him in the side back. He got out and was surprised by the amount of damage to the other car, and then ntoiced chunks of concrete all over. Turns out, the previous owner filld the fenders with concrete to stop rusting or something! lmao

 

wow..that is heavy duty bondo.

 

My 1981 Chevy citation (I owned like 5 of them at differnet times...) one time the shift linkage came off, I fixed that with a paper clip, I've zip tied so many different things at different times that I can't remember all of those....

I don't know if this qualifies but.... I had a Canadian made Chevy Citation and it was a sedan not a hatchback with Kilometers as the main numbers MPH were small. The doors were sun faded so bad and dried out so you could put a big scratch in it with your fingernail, so I got some black and white cow print fleece and covered the door with that, then I put black/orange tiger striped **** on the ceiling.... That was a special car.... I got searched EVERY time I'd cross the border into canada or back into the US..

 

did you mount a leather sling from the ceiling too?

 

skip the swing to save room for the pole....

 

this doesn't belong here but i had to post it somewhere!
