There's only two vehicles I've ever driving that were held together by bungie cords 1) a VW bug with a Porsche engine in it. (bungie cords holding everything together where a bolt or rivet should have been, gotta love teenage ingenuity) 2) Robinson R-22 (it's a death trap waiting to happen but they're cheap helicopters, I flew It once and that was more than enough for me [it was engineered to be held together with bungies]). Maybe that falls under the Jury Rigging perk instead of old tech...
Duct Tape.
My first car (1982 Mitsubishi colt) had Duct-Tape covering every rust patch, and it still passed inspection
(But only once!)
- Just after inspection, the electrics started dying, so I had to hard-wire the radiator fan to the battery (requiring me ton pop-the-hood every time I started/stopped driving, to connect/disconnect the fan).
- Then the headlights didn't work, unless I pressed two wires together...
- then the indicator lever snapped off, so I had to drive with a screwdriver in my hand to jam into the steering mount whenever I needed to turn.
- Then the day before next inspection (where it had no hope) I drove it to the wreckers, and they offered me $50. Insulted, I left.
- On the way home from the wreckers, the engine finally died and never started again. Cost me $50 to tow it home....
Geez, I loved that car.....
P.S. Sold the wreck to some drunk in my apartment block before I moved out. He paid me $200
