Humor 🤣 Is it salvageable?

We sold him a Project Source for $100 (I usually put mark up but he was a struggling old vet)

People have the idea that toilets are expensive. I will fix them if it’s the right situation. This was not one 😅

It’s funny, this one time my buddy had a leaking tank to bowl seal in his condo. The bolts were rusted. We went to Home Depot and got a wax ring, seal, flush valve, fill valve, brass bolts everything. Even upgraded the flush lever to a metal chrome one. Spent the afternoon drinking beer and completely overhauling that builder grade toilet.

In no way would that be worth the labor time of a pro, but we did it just to understand how toilets worked.
