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?

Used the flappy paddle gearbox.

i have 2 makita angle grinders 1- 5" 1- 7"
and a dewalt sawsall
and a nut spiltter
screw outs, bolt outs, and a big set of tap-and-die
8 pipe wrenches, electric impact
fuel pressure kit,
I even gave a 3" x 12" tall tube full of craftsman sockets
list goes on and on.

and i got rid of a bunch of tools already!

I was a professional mechanic for about 7 years. I have a lot of stuff. I just added a 200lb compressor to the shop. I can once again usr my air wrench.

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.

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.

How in the world did you bust your windshield?

installed 04+ gauge needles today!

before


after

do you have to recalibrate after changin them out

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.

how do you recalibrate the speedometer haha
