Polish it up, put some electric motors on it, and make a little desk ornament. I could watch something like that for hours.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:That's actually a pretty cool idea. Any suggestions for solvents? I just use the five gallon bucket of "solvent" from princess auto. I think it's just paint thinner, at least that's what it smells like to me. Great at removing oils and grease. Just don't put the chemical in a parts washer. It's not good for the pump's seals. Ask me how I know that.

Seat Safety Switch posted:So I got the bad idea that I should do a fix and flip on a Subaru with head gaskets, and found a 99 Outback for $1350ish. Talked the guy down to $650 and then planned a pick-up time. Ask if he wants a deposit. No deposit, okay, fine. Got insurance, cash, all the usual stuff. An hour before I leave for his place, he emails me and is like "oh neighbor kid wants it, and he wants to pay full price, so I agreed to sell it to him when he gets the money." Obviously, I'm pissed, but it's probably a blessing in disguise - I can spend that time and money on my own cars instead of trying to do a head gasket job for a profit. Seriously, gently caress that guy. Money in hand is always better than "some kid is saving up to pay me". There's always something else we could flip.

Seat Safety Switch posted:Since getting into American cars, I've grown from my original opinion that it's always a 10mm socket. Sometimes I lose the 7/16 socket now. Quite literally We'll have to get a picture of you being dwarfed by the engine bay when we pull the poly.

Seat Safety Switch posted:Maybe that's how we should do the master cylinder install. Don't even joke about that. It's going to be hard enough getting that brake line along the firewall back in place, let alone the mc.

Whoa, a bubblegum interior on an orange car. Bold. Fresh. Weird.

Where has July gone?  It seemed so short.
