Thanks to my sifu he had introduced me to this excellent workshop to rebuild and weld the weak spots on the Lancer. I'm not sure how long it'll take but will try to make time to go visit Ah Meng when I have the time to see the progress

So I finally bought the car and the owner ... God only knows what was he thinking ... he had put the rear left tyre 205 65 15 and on the right 195 65 15. I was like wtf?!
So I brought it to a friend's shop in which apparently, his shop is quite famous for 2nd hand tyres. So far I've been using it and I've even sped up to 110 with no problem. There's of course the usual loud noise from the tyres but still good none the less. Can't expect the same result from a brand new tyre of course

The shop doesn't provide the full service of a tyre shop so they could only help balance them. When they were balancing, I could see the rim is so badly dented - oh gosh, need to get a new pair of shoes for this lancer soon.
I took the oppurtunity while doing the alignment for my tyres the spots that looks an urgent weld on the body.
