I bought a car that was recently imported to Norway, but when the importer took it to the DMV to have it registered it FAILED the technical inspection.
The importer gave up on it and traded it for a registered one. I bought this sight unseen with the known issues: rust, parking brake, gas leak.
The sills are a known problem on the F-150, a botched design that is exacerbated by lack of rustproofing and cleaning. I have new sills on the way, the inner sills I will rebuild myself.
The body supports are also shot and the importer or possibly the US seller tried to cover it up with bondo and assorted misfitting metal plates.
In addition to the known issues it has no coolant, drips can be seen where a fairly big hose comes from the radiator and enters an aluminium bend. Let's hope I can clean the alu bend and reseat the hose, otherwise a new bend may be required.
I will fix all this and have it registered later this winter...
