So it’s been a while. I moved to asheville, got a job buiding old cars, and the shop shuts down. I decide I want to work, but I’m tired of having a job. So I decide to open my open my own business fixing old cars in a town I just moved to one year prior. I’ve got no customer base, I’m...

Hey all.. been a while. I recently went outside to get one of my cars running (finish reassembling it) and while the weather was above freezing, my hands were just about done in about fifteen minutes. I don’t have a walled in garage, and my tools are in a room in the back of my carport that...

I had a customer bring me his '82 911 SC for a "shaky" oil temp gauge needle, of all things. I've fiddled with this car for about five years, and the owner largely neglects it. He keeps it in the public parking garage downtown except for the spring time. Then he pulls it out, drives it two or...

I have a dual tweeter stereo speaker in the dash hole in my Valiant. It recently let the smoke out of it, so I decided to replace it. While I had the guts of the dash out, I figured that I'd pull the defroster vents and dash cap (V200.. so fancy) because they looked absolutely terrible. I...

Where did it go? I've got manifolds to swap, and engines to match the paint to, but none of the auto parts stores seem to carry it anymore. It's not even on Amazon, they only show the "industrial red". Which is too red.

A coworker complained to me about the jerks at the dealership trying to make her buy a $1000 driveshaft for her 2011 Nissan Rogue. She was told that it was "unsafe" due to a bad u joint. She was also told that the u joints couldn't be replaced and that she needed a new driveshaft. Sounds like...

http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/pts/5934253627.html i think what he means, is that you can't use pre roller cam heads on a roller cam motor due the the smaller pushrod holes.. In which case he's bass-ackwards, and this is a set of freshly machined "302" heads for $80. I might be driving two...

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/cto/5955565423.html I'd get it for myself, but I'm concerned that it might not be able to outrun all of the tail that would chase me.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/131976976266 ahh Fuck.. vigilink strikes again. It's a set of slanty Hooker headers, local pickup only.. Bidding is only at $103. In Wisconsin. That state can't be but so big. I'd find a way around Vigilink, but I just ran a 14 hour work day. On a Sunday. Whiskey...

I just got my buddy's '73 Challenger in to recommission. Most of this has been covered in the gawldammed throwout bearing thread, but a quick recap won't hurt. It's sat for six to eight years. It started out life as a 318 autotragic with a pea soup paint job. It was bought as scrap and built...
