My parents remodeled thier house a few months ago. My dad thought it would be a good idea to save a mirror....why, I dunno. My dad asked me to help him move it to his basement one day...I came over and we could barely lift the bitch, so that's where it has sat since.

you've never lifted a 10' x 7' mirror before have you?

oddly i lived with a guy who had a mirror in the garage. it was his gym. then I moved in and parked all my car shit in there and awwwww he was a dick anyway.

cleaned the bay where you can see it. I cleaned the piss out of it, and then tapped it with some paint I have that's a very close match....looks good in person, will probably last 5 minutes after it's running again.

Braineack 06-26-2007 04:11 PM

m2cupcar 06-26-2007 04:33 PM

I meant for showing off the under carriage - not upskirts! :jerkit: :ky:

Braineack 06-26-2007 04:36 PM

ohhh...no one wants to see my leaking diff, bent rails and sludgy oilpan.

xturner 06-26-2007 04:42 PM

I don't know. Might make me feel better about MY sludgy oil pan and leaking rear tranny seal......

Braineack 06-26-2007 04:44 PM

well....to be honest, i did just clean my pan up...you can see the attached pic...it's all shiny.

y8s 06-26-2007 04:58 PM

getsidewaysd1 06-26-2007 06:25 PM

No I stick to bars that me and my friends make. They gotta weigh something close though.

Braineack 06-28-2007 02:47 PM

https://www.miataturbo.net/~web1_bra...inepull023.jpg

tomorrow shall be putting tranny/starter back, valve cover, & return fitting. Then it's ready to go all back in on saturday

y8s 06-28-2007 02:51 PM

good work. now you deserve the beer later.

Braineack 06-28-2007 02:56 PM

seriously, it's f'in hot out.

but i feel stupid I took the belt off at least 10 times trying to get 16 teeth in between the marks, not 19. Finally I gave up and figured it HAD to be right...turns out it was, and i could have stopped on the first try.

Newbsauce 06-28-2007 03:07 PM

Don't feel stupid until you take your car to a shop and they keep it for several months to see how mad you can get. Thats when you feel stupid.

neogenesis2004 06-28-2007 04:55 PM

I bet you feel like the stupidest kid in town then ;)

Fireindc 06-28-2007 06:15 PM
