the other 1 had a blown exhaust. leaked from the drivers door seal. had a strange watery/fluid substance on passenger side. i still loved it though. this 1 is much better, no leaks(touch wood). got a few scrapes on bumper. you can see in pics. had the front end suspension done.think i'll spend some money on this 1. bought some alloys off fleabay yesterday. gonna paint em. not sure on colour yet....
