20 minute video on complete body repair job on a BMW 7 series ... this guy makes it look easy. Simply stunning to see this wreck return to looking great

Problem solved !

That photo of a real headlight is all this car needs to get by... and saved a paycheck by just printing and taping the photo, instead of buying parts

Thanks Lucian!

wow, that's effort and opportunity finding a crazy stupid, but plausibly shaped item, to recreate the tail lights

the most red neck - trailer trash kind of car repair I've seen in a long time

Stealing a bunch of magnetic car caps and a garbage bag to cover a broken window... that is terrible

Who doesn't just get to a junkyard, or ebay, for a replacement? Cytryn and Gumiak fixed it, they said, hey, come look at the stuff in Poland, dem Yoopers ain't nothin! So I went, I looked, Aino and Toivo got nothing on Cytryn and Gumiak!

Wrenches must be made of strong stuff... why don't they make suspension parts out of it?

a new side mirror costs about 100 bucks from a dealership. I don't know how much your pride in your cars appearance is worth though when you use sheet metal screws, binder twine, or purple duct tape

I took these photos over the time of one week. They are all within 10 blocks of each other 

The Memphis Belle is getting restored!

And because of it's decades long exhibitions, it was occasionally robbed of small items, and if anyone can reconnect the parts with the plane, it would be tremendous!

Some parts got lost other ways, like breakage, and here http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123338080 is a story of an engine primer knob getting back to the Belle! (It was found near where the Memphis Belle had been parked aka breakage)

B-17F Memphis Belle®The inboard wings have been mated to the fuselage and the landing gear has been lowered for the aircraft to sit on. Sheet metal repairs continue on the forward belly. The pilot's instrument panel and the missing bomb bay door is being fabricated from factory blueprints. The bomb bay door sheet metal repairs are also being worked. In addition, the wing root items are being fabricated and installed and the engines have been installed on the aircraft. Volunteers are restoring the tailgunner position and connecting the engine controls and accessories. Structural repairs are also being performed on the vertical fin and horizontal stabilizers. Click here to view a photo slide show of the Memphis Bellerestoration or here for more information and photos

Note: The original Memphis Belle was on static display in Memphis, Tenn., until October 2005. At that time, it was transported to the museum where it is now undergoing restoration.

Pete Correale on car repair

"You know you're not going to be able to fix your own car when you can't even find the bar that hold your hood up."

Radio repair specialists found in this issue of Hagerty magazine

Found in the first car of some young highschooler I bet... old cars didn't have cup holders I'm thinking... I never had anything made from 1973 to 1989, so I don't know. They aren't in my zone of interest.

I'm betting someone ends up in the emergency room

Sheesh these are lazy kids, is there anyone reading this that didn't put in years mowing lawns as a kid, before riding lawnmovers, self-propelled lawnmovers, and you think these kids could really use some time pushing a lawnmower?

that neglected rusted out wreck may not be too far gone, if you can afford all the replacement parts... here are some really cool ones from AMD

The light color parts are original, the black parts are AMD

Pretty cool!

Windshield repair, quite remarkable results!

I love before and after comparison photos

Don't do this, I hit a dip in the road too fast, again.

Only 5 inches above the pavement. The lowest point on the car is the drain plug

JB weld to the rescue! Again! Seals like a weld job. http://jbweld.net/products/uses.php

Much less expensive than a new 8 qt oil pan. (about 150 for another deep one that I'll just peel open, but Ray Barton Racing makes the only one to buy that's shallow, wide and lots of capacity... http://www.raybarton.com/oil.html ) $400 from Milodon , no picture. 21010
Wedge 1 Line Static Total: $395.38
