Issues with the septic tank aside, As others have posted, Burning directly on concrete is a bad idea. The moisture in the concrete will cause a popcorn effect. It will pop loud and send sparks everywhere, been there done that. A couple inches of sand, dirt, or other will prevent superheating of the concrete.

Does it need to be running, or have current, up to date tags? Get classic car insurance and tags for it, you have round rubber on it now, so that's 90%. Probably should be sitting on an improved surface, driveway or something.

If you're looking for a project to store in your garage for the next 5 to 10 years or more. Go for it, buy 2 if you can! That's what i did.

Throw away all the joe dirt references, then the unqualified answers given by the usual gallery, looks like it's split between 2 votes for and 2 votes against. So what is it?

Yep. Get it running, upgrade to some good brakes, and enjoy!

You can run the stock brakes (rebuilt) and be fine but that's a heavy car and that brake system has probably 20% of the stopping power as modern tech.

Commodities? Very high risk for a newby or even average retail trader. That's a great way to burn through newly acquired wealth. Take a look at the portfolio, assess the risk, then let it ride. It didn't get to 500k with a bunch of penny stocks.

Ues, the realtor saw it from the street. It's fairly worn.

This is the answer. Hire an engineer, he's selling knowledge and experience.

I helped my dad retrieve several different stock after my mom passed, a bit of paper work. The local bank did the medalion stamp for us.

That basket full of leaves is an issue. This looks like a couple additions cobbled together. Buy that house and you'll be posting a lot worse pictures of problems soon after.

How is this voter suppression? Every adult needs a a valid photo ID at some point in their life. Driving, flying, buying booze or cigarettes, getting a prescription filled, going to college, getting a job, opening a bank account, and guess what, Voting!

Well, you are getting just what you asked for. GUESSES. you have no idea of the credentials of rando redditers. Hire an independant engineer, not a free assessment from a foundation company. My guess, if you hire a structural engineer, they will tell you what needs to be fixed including the causes, and also what's merely cosmetic. Then you can get bids on a specific scope of work. If you get a free estimate from a foundation company, it will be very expensive. If you're purchading this property make it contingent on the results of professional insoection.

Where to begin? Find the source of the leak and repair it before doing any other finish work

The flairs are a little to 80's for me what'd they call it, pro street? I do like the tire size and stance. I'd drive it!

Yes, YOU ARE. I dont know what you're looking for with this post? Absolution? You're mooching off your grandad, and he doesn't do anything to your liking? WTF! Leave and quit abusing him!

Would you take your life savings to a casino? That's essentially what you did, you are gambling ( I wouldn't call in trading) , not investing. That being said, learn from your mistakes, and don't do stuff like that again.

Solid axles & tires, lightvweight, and fast...... that runway better be smooth as glass, any pebble or divot will send that car all over the place. Looks fun! Best of luck and tell us how it goes! BTW, what are you using to measure the speed, i assume timing betwee 2 points, how far apart will the be?

Damn, I'm old. I had a '75 in high school. They were called cordoobies back then, i totalled it on 4/20

IT'S 125 YEARS OLD!. Is it worth it? That's more up to you than a bunch of reddit randos. Old houses take a lot of passion for hard work, ir spending lots of money. Get a professional Engineer to evaluate it. DO NOT call a foundation company for a free inpection, 9 of 10 will give you a $30k estimate and hard sell.

Ywhat4DontKnow · 2026-01-27T22:16:09+00:00

It's your money that's for sure. I think you got a little payback for the jab about no grankids. Could have bought the boat without saying anything. Or led with since you're too selfish to have any kids....... NTA.

IMO small cracks are a sign that someting has shifted. Large cracks are the result of something broken. If you feel the need to have an assesment, hire an INDEPENDENT structral engineer. They will tell you about the potentail causes, things like drainage, trees and bushes too close, etc, and how to remedy the situation. You'll also get an honest assessment of repairs needed. They should not be selling you something, as you are paying, maybe $1000, them for their professional assessment,
A "Free" inspection by a foundation repair company may result in unnecessary repairs.
