Update on my 86gt project. Some time before my ownership of the car some body swapped a 83-84 gen t5 trans in it. They are getting hard to find parts for so looks like I am on the hunt for a trans for the car. Updates to follow soon I hope.

yesterday I swapped the front brakes on my D/D

 

[Ohmthis]

Looks good! How many miles on the DD? My friend just retired his focus (affectionately know as ”The Shitbox Racer”) with 378,000 miles. We did replace the head on purchase (know valve guide issues).

Looks good! How many miles on the DD?

Just under 200.000 nothing to complain about yet other then normal wear and tear maintenance.

 

[Kevkx125]

Project for the day was to start reorganizing my automotive tool boxes.

 

[Kevkx125]

Tonight's project was replacing the rear shocks and headlights on my D/D ford focus.

 

[Kevkx125]

Yesterday I mounted new frame slider's and changed the oil and filter on my street bike

 

[Kevkx125]

Started working on some magnetic screwdriver holder's

 

[Kevkx125]

Got home today from work and put new clutch and brake lever's on the street bike, After looking at the pics it deserves a wash !!

 

[Kevkx125]

Not much of a project, I put new green swing arm spools on my street bike.

 

[don long]

Looks like you have been busy Kev.

Thanks for checking in Don, Good to see that you worked out the internet problems. Looking forward to seeing the phone booth nearing completion, Hope Ann is doing well and feeling better every day!

 

[Kevkx125]

Started to lay out a work bench top for my auto tool box's

 

[Kevkx125]

Assembled my new trailer dolly and hung it up

 

[don long]

Looks like a handy tool

Looks like a handy tool

Should come in handy this way if i need to move the trailer I don't have to get the tractor out.

 

[Kevkx125]

Put my hand held small 2 stroke parts in one box instead of being spread around the shop and put it away in the shed

Kev, This is a great idea, minus that voyager sticker, that needs to be replaced with "2-Stroke Parts" (Pelican Pines for assistance? LOL!) as in a year you will not remember into which of the 104 of those boxes you put them into! (Strouty will get that #'d reference!) If I had a spot to store that dolly I would have one in a second my shins would be much happier! Harry

Thanks for stopping by Monza, yea one day I should make a new label for it when I am playing with my label maker.

 

[Ohmthis]

Kev, you’ve been busy! I love the 2-stroke parts box. I should Make something similar for small engine and marine parts. I just have a cardboard box with each. I think you’ll love the top for your mechanics tools. I have a hard time keeping my tool box top clear though. The can holders above your boxes. Are those bought or handmade? I’ve talked about making some that will be more custom, but dang steel has gotten high!

Ohmthis thanks for stopping by, the can holders were bought from Eastwood.

 

[Kevkx125]

Today I replace the broken right hand spindle housing on my mower deck.

 

[Kevkx125]

Simple project today mounted some clips on the press to hold the handle for the pump

 

[Monza Harry]

Kev would you consider sharing what you used for clips? I had thought about 9V battery clips, but with Radio Shack gone, [I know only sort of in the US, it is a stripped down version, but in Canada GONE, and no the Source isn't a supplier of anything even close now] Amazon seems ... uhmm overkill for 1. nothing ounces. I'm not sure they are tough enough either for any real weight from a decent sized handle. Harry

[Kevkx125]

Changed the oil and filter on the d/d focus.

 

[Kevkx125]

Worked on sorting the metric hardware

 

[Kevkx125]

Threw together a hose clamp rack today

 

[Ohmthis]

Great idea on the clamp rack. My clamps are just all thrown in a box. I may have to make one. Thanks for posting that up.

 

[Kevkx125]

Replaced the broken taillight on the truck

 

[captain14]

Self inflected? I did that to my truck one night backing into the driveway.

Unfortunately not, a parking lot bandit got me.

 

[Kevkx125]

Put my new project boards in place on the work bench's

 

[captain14]

A clean slate. You just be all caught up ready for the spring car shows!

 

[Kevkx125]

Changed the oil and filter , set the tire pressure , vacuumed out the car yesterday

 

[Kevkx125]

Yesterday I swapped my good motor on a rusty deck to a deck that is in good shape and not so rusty.

I had to do that 2-3 years ago. Save the manufacturers info on the old chassis. My mower parts shop needed the original serial number to match up a new blade and blade adaptor. They wouldn’t sell me parts for a Frankenstein mower.

Nice upgrade!

 

[Kevkx125]

Started to mount new tail light brackets on the trailer, just need to drill two more holes and paint the brackets and install a new wire harness.
