Yup Fun

Just north of a Grand for the core, new coolant, ac charge, etc. Then it needs suspension work. Guy just bought it from a dealer from Florida and had it shipped here. Po bypassed the heater core instead of replacing it. Now it's his problem.

Blue, if a Mercedes S-class comes into your stall for that... run, don't walk! What a bowl of spaghetti you got going there sheesh.

Heres a gratuitous blown SBC pic to brighten your day. Belongs to co-worker. This thing had an intake leak and got washed a couple times. Tried to start it and there was water inside a hole. Removed that piston, ran a 180 hone a little... then broke a ring with an iffy compressor on the way back in. His dadgummer is working, lol.

I think thats a 4-71 on like a stock 350. 4lbs with this setup, 8 lbs to come, he says. Looks cool.

I do like a tidy wrench drawer I got Pittsburghs prolly from HF. No angle on box end but real nice gear action with plenty of clicks. They are fast! I have overpowered the 10 but its never come apart. 10mm everything just has a hard life.

Old pic now, the empty spot is home of chisels and punches

Ah. My chisels and punches stay downstairs, upright in a paint can bottom drawer. Except for air hammer bits. Oh and the little tapered 1/8" punch that seems to have some use on every job. I'm a one Crescent wrench guy though. Need a pipe wrench sometimes, don't have one.

I have a bad habit of just throwing everything in the toolbox or setting everything that I'm using for that particular job elsewhere and eventually it gets throw back in the box. I really need a nice toolbox but ehh not a huge priority atm.

Tool pic whoring... Man I guess I've had that box 15 years and the cart about 6. Pic is from about when the cart was new. Everything's a GP in some way!

That's at work so they get put back at the end of each day if the current job is done. Not today of course lol

Yea I could understand that.. Body shop man and mechanic.. But for a backyard guy like myself that just wrenches on stuff here and there ehh.. I'll end up thrown together lol

I do this lol, I have to every month or so go through the garage and consolidate all the sht I leave out and reorganize my box. If I don't my grandpa does then I can never find anything. Tho I know what sizes I need anymore when working on my car which stop having tons of tools out that I have to put back.

Even at home they get put away....eventually. They have sat on the parts tray of the rolling chair for up to a few months lol

Navy that pic makes my OCD happy

My usually spot is on the passenger floorboard or just laying in the trunk. I really have a bad habit of doing this. Especially if I end up not finishing what I started or doing to much at once or if I'm bothered and I need to be elsewhere.
