I need to fix my car before it becomes a huge money drain.
That said, the things that need doing on it is quite large, and quite possibly very expensive. If I don’t get these things dealt with soon, I’ll be pulled up for bald tyres or something and given a yellow sticker and have to get my car fixed to go to the examiners. So I must face facts. Serious $$ must be donated to the cause

I need the following to be fixed:
Gaskets replaced (have oil leaks)
New well for the window washers
New cambelt
New brakepads
Recondition the gear box
General service on the car
New Muffler
New Seatbelt
So all that I need to get fixed, so I’ll go to dad’s work. I have about $1000 saved for this operation.
After that I need to get New tyres and a new spare, because the spare doesn’t fit the car. look at about $600.00 for new tyres plus spare unless there is a special on somewhere. Then I have to get the front driver’s seat fixed - worn upholstery - probably about $500.00 for both passenger and driver’s seat. Finally the RUST problem tht has started to bubble up in a couple of places. I don’t know how much that would cost yet. Once all these things are fixed the car will be a happy car once more and I don’t need to worry too much about it. God cars are expensive. This car isn’t a bomb, its only 11 years old, a Toyota Seca. Just needs a bit more attention at the moment.
I’d love to be able to get a new one, but I am enjoying owning something that I don’t need to pay off anymore. Going into debt for another 24K (total amount i paid back on the loan) is not my idea of fun.
Sigh. More mail. Must work harder - thank goodness for slow days.
