Default my 8 has leprosy

what the heck did I buy???
the latest news is that one of the calipers is very badly corroded. I have never seen a caliper this bad.
The list keeps getting longer, warped discs, bolts falling out of suspension arms, broken front spring, leaking self leveling shocks, corroded caliper, dodgy aftermarket cd/mp3 player.
At least it is all fixable, hopefully all the 'core' stuff is ok, engine, chassis, gearbox.
