i've been there...sometimes you just got to make due with what you have. grinder with a thin metal cutting disk works best. or the proper tool, a nut cutter. but how many of us have one of them?

I sold all my air tools.
I live in an apartment now, and no garage to work in, so i have no use for air tools anymore.

yesterday I changed plugs wires checked all fluids. I removed HUD to reflow solder and broke my windshield. I then cursed a lot. I then tried to restore headlights but they are to far gone. But they did improve some. Tues I will get a new pricey windshield and will be good to go.

Finished up the G6 today and took some pictures of it out in the back yard. I spent 20 hours on that car between yesterday and today. The PC got a work out, thats for sure.
And to the GP, I sprayed some tire shine on the tires to freshen up and took it and tried to redo the grain bin shots, but the sun was to bright. So I need to play with those and see if I can edit them.

Cussed at it because it has no A/C and it's out of gas. Then I hopped in the wifes G6 and all was well. Except for the being at work part.

Re: What did you do to your Car today?

i did a little bit but only with the speedometer and thats easy because i have the HUD. RPM gauge was fine and so was the temp i didnt have to touch them. my fuel gauge doesnt work so im not sure if you would have to recalibrate that. if so its easy just go fill up your tank and set it on full.
