I've been doing my driveshafts for years and don't see that changing. Easiest if you start with one longer than you need and know the ID of the tubing in use. If it's gonna go fast, you still need to have the shaft balanced... or balance it yourself if possible. I need to build myself a driveshaft balancer at some point.

gently caress paypal, they are a passel of retards and act like they're above banking law. Also, I have been hosed by them as a buyer and a friend got hosed hard by them as a seller and I refuse to deal with them unless absolutely necessary on principle. I don't use paypal unless I am sending or receiving money from someone I know, as a gift, and don't expect to ever undo the transaction.

Fortunately 99% of that will come off with a bit of acetone and a quick rub with a lint free rag. Careful around any plastic lights, though. They cloud up really loving fast when exposed to acetone, in fact it's the ingredient of (or one of the ingredients of) brakleen that causes fogged reflectors/lamps.

Who says I was gonna recommend a grand? gently caress that, tell him he's an idiot and completely destroyed any value the car had by painting it like Stevie Wonder and offer him 300. Then get it home and wipe all that crap off with 10 bucks worth of acetone. It's $16 a gallon.

Around here, an early 90s ford explorer with whiskey dents, missing trim, trim clips flapping in the breeze, a serious rear end drag and ghetto lean from the busted rear suspension and at least one rotted-through leaf shackle is the appalachian-american ride of choice. Either that or a mid 90s minivan of any marque in the same general condition.

Paint the inside of the truck bed black, then when you want the world's largest redneck pool (12'x7'3"), just throw a 10x20 roll of 6mil painters plastic in it and fill it up with the garden hose. If you fill it a foot deep, that's only around 660 gallons of water, so it should even warm up pretty fast in the sun. I recommend parking it in the front yard of a suitably inclined friend with property on a major thoroughfare on July 4th and holding up signs that say "you honk we drink" while reclining in your redneck pool. e: like so  (that is a good friend of mine in the picture) If doing that with a deuce and a half doesn't piss off your neighbors and lower your property taxes I don't know what will. kastein fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Mar 27, 2014 |

Agreed. Find out what paperwork you would need to file to get a title with only bill of sale and previous registration (which may be straight up impossible in your state.) Make sure the previous reg is available and that the VIN matches the car. Pull a favor (or pay for such a service if it's available in your state, I don't know if it is) and have a cop run the VIN to make sure it isn't listed stolen. Oh, make sure it has no liens and isn't some hacked up salvage car. Then go through a bunch of poo poo to get yourself a title. Good luck and godspeed. (I recommend passing on it and buying something else.)

Citycop posted:I have a truck sitting in my field right now that runs great but will never be legal again. My father in law died and he never cleared the lien from the title. It's paid off, he just never called and had the lien holder send him the original title. Now the lien holder won't talk to us without attorney paperwork. There was no estate and it's not worth paying a lawyer $500 to deal with the problem. Part it out, then cut it up and drag it to the scrapyard. Scrapyards will take cut up vehicles without a title, usually, I brought the title to my old dodge 2500 parts truck with me when I scrapped the cab and they told me they didn't need it. Note that scrapyards and junkyards are different places. Junkyards take cars, and want titles, scrapyards sometimes take whole cars, and will usually/always want a title depending on your area and how bad car theft is there, but will take cut up junk anytime.

All v8s are the same price up here but every last example of that chassis turned into a red cloud of dust a decade ago. So, welp. A T5 would run you the same price as any other RWD mantrans, too. You win some, you lose some. I wish shipping was cheaper, I could probably make a killing shipping complete LS series drivetrains south, only to have people whine about the surface rust on the manifolds and ask for their money back.

That's cool and all but there are no laws about odo rollover when exporting iirc and multiple people have found evidence after purchase of their import jdm vehicles having had the odo rolled back, sometimes by a significant amount. Not saying it happens on every car, or even most of them, but there is no way I would pay for a car imported without inspecting it in person first.

HotCanadianChick posted:14,000 km is only 8,750 miles per year, or a bit more than 2/3 of what is considered normal average mileage a year in the US (12,000 miles - equal to 19,200kms - a year is considered average here), so yes, your idea of 'high mileage' is a little bit lower. You have to keep in mind the US is a country where some people think an acceptable daily commute is 100 miles (160 km) each way, five days a week. I drive 140 miles a day, but I love driving anyways, it's my dream job, and it's closer to where I will probably move after I finish my house and sell it. Either that or I'll build an airplane and fly to work, I haven't decided. That would probably cost more, and save me no time, but I'd be flying, so gently caress it who cares. Oh... and they keep giving me raises, and I started out making pretty decent money, especially for someone with no car loans, minimal student debt, no mortgage, and no rent. Basically, I blow $650 a month on gas to work at a job I love and live in an area I like more than most in this state. Worth it, IMO, I'd end up spending that much just on rent if I moved closer to work. kastein fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Apr 6, 2014 |

Pham Nuwen posted:I wouldn't consider myself a vet, but I have bought quite a bit of stuff from Craigslist and I never make an offer over email. I agree. Hell, I've stopped responding to people when their emails got kinda scammy/nigerian prince-like (when they'd offered me 1100 on something I was listing for 1300, which I had paid 270 for a week prior - I was perfectly happy with their offer) and a few days later they offered me full price if we could finish the deal by Friday night. So we did, and I walked off with a $1k profit. If someone makes me think they are wasting my time I have absolutely no problem just ignoring their emails till they either go the gently caress away or wise up and get serious. An offer is worth the electrons it was sent with and nothing more unless you are standing in front of me with cash in your hand.

I jack my price up a bit more than I actually want so that I can let people think they are getting a good deal. Usually works out pretty well. Sometimes it doesn't. At this point I don't NEED to sell anything I have so lowballers just get mocked and/or ignored depending on my mood at the time.
