Default got car back now fixed only to cop a defect (melb)

yeah got me car back from the mechanics, found their was just stuff all oil in the auto and what was there was sludge apparently, he also did a motor service and tune which from wat i was told it badly needed and i told him they did it wen i bought it 2nd hand n he sed nah not a chance.

so its back on the road and going hard lol, very happy with the turnaround time aswell considering the amout of cars he had to work on basically a full shop.

took it out for a run the night i got it back and went to get fuel, there was a highway car filling up aswell so i thought i was gonna get hassled fuelled up, payed then drove out and he was waiting followed me for a bit with my experienecd driving then he caught up so i pulled over and licence hangn out the window and he had the wheel out and yeah 70 mm (with afull tank) and clearance is spose to be min 100mm so yeah he was good about it tho and yeah thats how i got the minor defect, first one since ive ben driving so pretty good run for 4 to 5 yrs.

now where can i get some cheap std springs lol?

also pm me if u would like the details of my mechanice as he is very reputable and yeah a good bloke to altho he owns a VE Chev SS
