I am pretty keen on buying it, the body work wasn't too bad, super cheap and I won't be too afraid when working on it.
When I looked at it the battery was dead and the dude did some weird things to try start it with jump leads...
1. He disconnected the leads from the terminals and tried to jump it directly to the leads, would this have fucked the computer? The car still run after but I heard this is something you should never do...
2. He connected both the positive and negative terminals on the FTO, I believe you should only connect the positive and negative to ground?
The leads also had no visible surge protector. I am a bit of a spud and have never actually jump started a car so I assumed what I was seeing was right. How bad could this be?
I will likely be swapping the battery with my Verada's as that battery is only a year old.
