Wheels need tires but hold air.

Looking for any trades?
this thread is over a year old, car has been sitting for a while now. i did diagnose the problem and the car will need a new bottom end. i was just going to buy a new engine and swap everything onto my mk2. but finding an engine is taking longer than i care for. that being said i might be up for the right trade. i searched your threads and the links to pictures of your car didn't work. pm me some info on the car and ill see if we can work somethingout.
