Got one Oscar

Just sent $20.00 and shirt size. Admins pay full price so you can keep making cool like this.

Good time to get this tractor going, need it badly to drag P cars around yard.

@djway Cool project, please keep us posted.

Now you can use it to wash car parts in, grin.

Do the headlights make tractor beams?

Cool T-shirt(s), Oscar

Looks like everybody's keeping busy and tackling some of those 'one of these days' or 'around to it' projects ...


Our annual Mojave Desert camping trip was cancelled, so I unloaded the food stuffs from 'Eileen' (the Westfalia). Noticed one of the water jugs must have developed a small pinhole and leaked some of it's content onto the carpet I pulled the carpet up and removed the wet wood plank flooring that I had just recently installed, since there was a thin layer of original carpet below it. Thankfully, no water leaked through the planks and the carpet was dry


Scrubbed the Cayman's removable floor mat/carpets. Seems like someone spilled some sort of red punch in the passenger side (one of PO's grand kids). Used a solution of hot water & Purple Power, then rinsed with a high pressure hose, then spun dry in the washing machine and finish dried in the clothes dryer. 'Caymout' looking much better

Can't go to AZ to register the new car right now, so being careful not to draw attention from the local PD while sneaking it out every now & then

If it doesn't rain today, I might tackle removing the vinyl stripes on the front bumper/valance

Can others purchase one of these?

I would be in for an XL.

The GF wanted a new one, I told her I could fix it for about 20% of a new one and then if she still wanted new in a couple years I would "move" this one (to my shop).

Assembling the engine for the 68 911. It’s going faster than spending an hour a day after work. No pictures yet.

Replaced my well pump yesterday. Fun job to pull it.

Our old Frigidaire® portable started leaking (again) a few months ago. I replaced a seal in the bottom of the tub 20 years ago and it worked fine. Looks like I need to replace it again, although I'm not looking forward to it. We've just been hand washing stuff ever since it broke. There's only the two of us and we don't use a lot of dishes (we use paper plates), so it's mostly a couple of glasses & eating utensils to do

Nice Job! Kitchen looks great. Heading up to gaylord after work tomorrow.

stay well

scraping off the wallpaper in a small bathroom. its been up for over 20 years. only coming off a few square inches at a time.

Good thing the GF is helping.... it was HER idea.

I have a small steamer I will dig out tomorrow. see what that does.

It does pass the time though.

New oil cooler.

use liquid fabric softner, let it soak in comes off easier. adk me how i know.

I have had this kit for a while now and almost entirely built now.

-Steve

Steamer will likely help big time.

Are you available for hire?

Nice work!

@90quattrocoupe

What car is that in?

@siverson - Gabe, who is a member here, has been building these with his sons recently. The engineering on the kits is surprisingly good - and they FAST!

1990 Audi Quattro Coupe with a few mods.

My wife and I had matching '87 5000 Turbo Quattros, Pearl White
sedan and wagon. Both had Pearl White OEM Fuchs forged alloys.
Very cool cars.
100mph all day no sweat.
She called me Hans, I called her Michelle.

Pulled transmission to figure out why every time I loosened my clutch cable to get it properly adjusted I would hear metal on metal rubbing noise. Talked to Dr Evil and he said the ball it mounts on is the wrong one which pushed the fork too close to the pressure plate housing and it should be recessed in.

Since I am waiting on the transmission part to come in I did this. Created a pulley system in my garage to load this roof top tent on my car without assistance since my wife is unable to help (she is 5 foot 1).

It finally stopped snowing and warmed up outside so my son Max and I installed the 5 point belts in his go-kart, and he did his first solo run. It was a good day.

@rbzymek ... Your kitchen looks much brighter and in essence, larger. Nice job - looking for the finished pix


Just tidying up a few items in the 'new' Cayman. Some of the items that I ordered started showing up today ... the car cover, Bosch windshield wipers, a short UHF/VHF radio antenna for when I get a chance to install the HAM radio in it, and a new factory owner's manual

Doing a little more investigation, I ran the VIN and found out it isn't a base model, it's an 'S' with the 3.4L

I built that model kit when I was a mere lad. Wished I still had it.

Thank you.

@jcambo7 how do you like that RTT thinking of getting one for my Gladiator after I decide on which bed rack I want.

@rbzymek Kitchen looks great, what a transformation.

Cheers all.

@dion I just bought it a couple months ago and we haven’t been able to test it out yet. It should be perfect for us with only camping a few times.

Is that an Ocelot?

@euro911

3.4 for the Cayman. 3.2s were in the Boxter S for a bit but unless I am mistaken you have a 3.4.

My couch keeps trying to get away so I am holding it down as part of my lockdown duties.

You can still buy that kit

A year long project wrapped last weekend. Worked 14 hour days Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday last week. Never left the house. I am sick and tired of working and never leaving the house to do it.

Ah ha ... noted and corrected.

Heard a Dr. on TV saying in this time of Coronavirus staying at home we should focus on inner peace.

To achieve this we should always finish things we start and we all could use more calm in our lives.

I looked through my house to find things I’d started and hadn't finished, so I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Valiumun srciptuns, an a box a chocletz.

Yu haf no idr how feckin fablus I feel rite now. Sned this to thuzl who need inner piss. An telum u luvum. And two hash yer wands, stafe day avrybobby!!!
