I had a 1990 Audi 100 and the tranny cooler lines corroded and and lost my coolant. Strauss told me that the replacement was about $400 and would take a month to get from Germany. Instead of that bs, I went to Home depot and bought a roll of copper tubing, a tube bender set and some JB quik-weld. I made an exact copy out of the tubing and some muffler strapping that I had. The quik-weld helpped make the bracket and I even made some flanges for the hose clamps! I brought it in and the kid yells to the manager, "This guy made a replacement part! Can we use it?" --- "Does it fit?" -- "It's exactly the same, but copper!" -- "Go ahead, but we can't warrantee it."

On my first car, I installed a friend's head unit and made the dash kit out of a wood shelf that was lying around. I painted it with blue, yellow, and green webbing spray paint that my mom had for clothes. It was a light blue shelf under the webbing .... looked kinda cool.

 

You are hardly one to talk. However we have a new post ***** in the house. ahem.....see the above post.

 

i am not denying anything.

and falkore...that's real wood trim, isnt it? haha

 

actually, fibreboard ..... I have real wood now though! Paper thin, but real!

 

i owned a 1995 nissan pickup. it was my project from day 1. and i mean i tore everything out the interior and started to tweed everything icould haha.
long story short, i took my door panels off which meant i had to take off the manual window cranks. well, i lost my driver side crank, then during a halloween party, my drunken friend lost the passanger side. being the magiver iam, i used vice grips as my new window cranks for like the last year. everytime ppl get in my truck, they are like "how do i roll down the window" then i had them the vice grips.

 

We used to have a '67 VW Squareback. As it rusted apart, one day the headlight just fell out. Dangling by the wire...

My dad removed the headlight mounting/aiming bucket because it was completely rusted apart. Using a cheapie stainless steel mixing bowl, he glued the headlamp in using fiberglas cloth & resin.Hesorta aimed the headlight as the resin was hardening. We sold the car before that headlight bulb burned out.

My first car was a '72 Datsun 510. By the time I was done with it, the drivers footwell floor had rusted thru. I thought I did a real good job patching itwith fiberglas. But I never bothered to paint it, so it was transparent...

 

lol .... nice! I've seen the vice grip handles before, but my 3 all had/have power.

Not many posts today ..... I'm getting bored and may have to do more real work........ arrrrrghhhhh!
