Rude wanted to know how many of us work on our cars and what level of work do we perform.

 

i cant aord to take it to a shop.

 

you gimme a task and i can do it..
i will eventually rip the floor pan out and spot weld new alumi one..
also plan on welding in a rol cage
prob mild steel cuz i never tried welding chromoly
and i can do engine swaps but i dont have the time..
its the age old saying of time vs money..
i dont have time but i do have some money so i think i can do it that way...

 

hey aggressive-hit me with some tips on the floor pan weld:
what material
weld or rivit
stuff like that
when i pulled my carpet out i found a nice lemon size hole under the gas pedal from years of heavy heeled people and sh!tty floor mats.

and one in the hatch from the infamous leaky/rusty hatch.
so i have a project but am unsure where to begin

 

well i havent started yet and dont want to thing about it
=)
i am a lazy guy...
if u want to wait for me to get there then sure i will tell u
but i aint in that stage of tune yet..

 

advice mabey

 

Werd to that. Ive replaced everything on my 240 myself (with the help of my dad or boyfriend). Even my tranny, god that was such a pain in the ***. But my car is all good now!

 

if i ripped everything out, i'd figure out how to put it back together, but since i've never done that yet, i'll have to settle for number three. most of the stuff i've done on my own to my car, except when it came to tranny work. i don't like to mess with that kind of stuff - yet.

 

if its with car electronics i can almost do anything, but engine work and all that....not my department

 

i love to tear up ****. always have, sometimes i get myself in a little too deep. but i always managet to climb out. that goes for electronic sht too

 

of course, there are always people that say they can take it apart and put it back together ten times better than before, even, but then they go into the general section of .net and ask where the hell their oil dipstick is.

 

Why is it whenever I work on something there are always two bolts left over?

 

hahaha... i have that problem all the time... at least one bolt left over and one tool missing.

 

tell me about it

 

I don't know how many 10mm open end wrenches I have bought. They always seem to dissapear in a nook or cranny.
