What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[Johnny Generic]

Changed oil and oil filter on the Edge, topped off w/w fluid. Dusted out the interior. Shook out mats. Remounted handle on the super pooper scooper scoop. Swept out the garage. Was in analysis-paralysis for trying to rearrange stuff to get more room in the garage.

In the process of moving from CA to OK. I finally have a real shop, 30 X 40 feet. Been installing insulation in the walls and drywall. Got one wall done and mounted my workbench and put up my garage art. Having fun.

Forged a knife out of a railroad spike with my 12 year old son. He loves it....for about 15 minutes, then declares he's tired...internet withdrawal, more likely....

Shepherd,

So glad it's not just my 12yo boy with no attention span!

What did you do "IN" your garage today?

I had a spare set of hella super tones from when I had them on my WRX... I since bought new ones for my STi, thinking these were bad, when in reality it was the relay that was bad...



Re-painted the grills bright red, and installed them on the truck. Now I have the two stock horns and the two front facing supertones.... it's LOUD AF!



I'll get better pictures, these are ******.



Really simple to wire up, incase anyone needs the info or it helps someone:



Relay:



Pin 30: + battery

Pin 86: blue signal wire of exsiting horn wire (There was black and blue wires)

Pin 85: Ground

Pin 87: + wire going to horns.



(Then just ground each horn to the body/frame/metal on metal..etc.)



Works with my keyless entry/panic and pressing the horn switch.

I used to have a set of hella triple air horns for my VW's. They weren't crazy loud but had s distinct sound. This reminded me that i need to find a Cadillac horn for my minivan. That should wake them up!


What did I do today- I am breaking things related to installing a new toilet. If it can go wrong, it has. Fort there is nothing left to go wrong. - famous last words...

And I have to somehow get this damn Home Depot shed out of my truck.

Put down the tailgate, go in reverse near the area you want it, slam on the brakes. it will slid right out.

 

[steveivy]

Gave the light fixture I'm putting outside my shop door a new coat of paint.

 

[JimVonBaden]

Lots of prep has shown decent results on the wheels and other parts.

Spokes for the rear wheel:

Other wheel, engine and body parts done in powder:

Next I assemble the wheel and see if I can get it straight. My first time.

Been rebuilding the dashboard for the Duster. The old one had a hacked radio opening. The car was a radio delete and I finally found a plate for it. Now the trick is getting it back in the car without scratching it.

 

[DUK]

Started on the fixtures fro my go kart jig...

 

[7A749]

Been wrenching on a welding machine for a customer.

New here, some really excellent workspaces and toys, uh I mean important tools lol.

 

[nadogail]

Painted the four uprights I welded up for my Bird House merchandising display.

Finished the end table project. The bases are stripped band saw stands and the top is some minimum void plywood cut into strips and re glued.

Nice and heavy. The cats won't be knocking these over in the middle of the night. I'm still thinking of some type of finish over the bare metal. The cats haven't taken possession of the end tables yet. Just testing to see how long it takes cat piss to rust metal.

Money shot!

Hopefully rap up rehab on the grill.

 

[exranger06]

Today I changed the outer tie rod ends on my 92 Accord and I loaded the new tires into the trunk. Tomorrow it goes to the shop to get an alignment and the new tires mounted. Added bonus: I get some extra space in my garage because I no longer have a stack of tires in the corner.

 

[Thezapper]

Can I ask what your up to? Custom kart frame?

 

[JimVonBaden]

I've been sick the last couple of days, so slow work. I did assemble the brakes for the wheels.

New wheels coming from Mike's XS.

 

[kaymccampbell]

Made the deal for my new roof. OUCH!

Touché my friend... My 12 yr old son too

On a different note: mounted my (4) leather theatre seats to boards so I could slide them as needed and placed them in my home office for movie nights

 

[s14brent]

finally moved the engine out of the corner of the garage!

 

[Katodog]

Couple weekends ago I built a bed frame for my daughter...

Then built a little set of stairs so the dog could get up into the bed...

Brent, to my eye that looks RB26 ish, but not quite; what, prey tell, is it?

It's a e36 m3 (usdm) s52b32 (nothing fancy like a rb26!) that i pulled from a wrecked car a year ago. It's sitting in a e30 sedan!

That explains why I didn't recognize it.

That's not the 12.5:1 engine, is it?

I've got a tuner friend W/ one that he says is that high, stock.

With his CAI and higher flow exhaust (no, he hates fart cans as much as I do) it sounds pretty mean, but only runs right on our miserable excuse for "premium."

 

[s14brent]

nope. usa got the 10.5:1 ratio engines. The euro spec was 11.3:1 if i recall correctly. Not really familiarized with other bmw motors tbh, but this one fit the bill!

 

[Cypherian]

I am not shoveling it ... Who ever broke Spring can fix it their own damn selves !! Besides if we wait till Thursday it will be 70 and melt on it's own Jeez this is not MAINE you know.

 

[dcmus]

Finally registered the face plate to my big lathe after cutting to small first time. Had to face entire surface down .250 inch the take another .250 to match ID of the Chuck. Took several hours and cast iron dust all over but finally got a good wit. Will mount and indicate today then cross that off my list.

Same here, but didn't stick to the road, so I rode into work on the bike today!

Ahhh, fair enough, knowing my friend, no telling what he's got in there.

 

[PECVD2]

Pulled the fuel (sand and rocks) tank out of the ol Ford. Cleaned her out, new sending unit and lines should make her good for another 60 years.

Cleaned and oiled the new lathe. Started rearranging things to make a permanent spot ... then it's on to finishing the Band Saw stand.

 

[Crazyjake8493]

Took down and gutted the rest of my troffer fixtures to retrofit them with ballast-bypass LED tubes. Hopefully getting the rest of the insulation put up the rest of this weekend, and the lights back up next week. Ended up with a pile of 16 ballasts and a box of 25 flourescent bulbs.

Is that really a surly? Looks good with the new paint and decals. Is that powder coat or spray? Home or sent out?

Not a Surly, an old Schwinn handed down from her brother. Just Rustoleum and a clear coat done in my newly heated garage turned out pretty good.
Got the sticker kit through work. It was my daughters request to have the surly stickers on it. She chose the ice cream truck model because she liked the name.

Looks good. I'm on the phone so couldn't read the "ice cream truck." I can't wait till mine can ride and appreciate that kind of work.

I have a couple of old vintage tools that I am going to restore today. Here is a couple of pics of an old school Williams 1/2 5/8 Wrench. this guy is a monster. I have a few of these bad boys that are in this condition. Lets see if I can get them looking like new. This is one of the things I will be doing in my garage today.

If anyone has any information on these. That would be great.

 

[Outlawmws]

Well, that DOE is definitely for square nuts and bolts!

 

[R-Savage]

Well here it is all buffed up

 

[R-Savage]

I got about 20 wrenches cleaned up today. Beautiful day Tis about 10 c. I've got the garage door opened up. And enjoying the day.
