There are a lot of cars I’d argue it makes sense. In the FJ and in my old Gwagon where I did the same thing there is a small panel from the factory so it’s not even a brand new hole. I assume the mustang is similar.

I promise you High School me didn't have the budget for fancy brand names like "3M" :ROFLMAO: Actually sounds like it could be a great fix for when I cut out a nicer non-duct tape patch panel though.

Advice to live by! In HS I had to replace the fuel pump in my ‘94 camaro, of course it was rusted to **** so no way I was dropping the tank. Cut a hole just fine then sunk a self tapper right in the top of the tank. Took way too long to find the gas smell.

And an access panel in the floor is better than dropping a grand with a shop to drop the tank and replace. I'll have to make it look nice once I'm back in the shop, for now back to catching fish.

Unfortunately not in my garage, cut an access panel and did the fuel pump on my FJ 600 miles from home. Professional duct tape job attached

I can always use a better scanner.

I've been trying to get rid of my fiance's Forester pretty much since I met her and she finally gave me an opening. I didn't want a car payment so it required some shenanigans. I traded my allroad for a used GLE350, mercifully under warranty and then I bought a "cheap" FJ cruiser. The FJ is a...

I just have a lowly maxjax (with an appropriate creeper) and it was 1000% worth the money. Jobs are faster, access is better and I generally get less dirty not rolling around on the ground. If you DiY, have the space and the money get a lift.

Having worked in some small dark attached garages most of my life and finally building a small dedicated space these are my favorite things: Tall ceilings, Lights, Insulation, Mini-Split, Maxjax

Hardwired my radar detector in the Audi. Ignore the 10lbs of dog fur on the dash.

This whole scene is accurate. I'm still excited to get to grilling on it though.

Well good news bad news, I wrapped up my Green Egg repairs cured for the cement for 2 hours, ran the low heat cycle at 100 degrees and then put it all together and brought it up to 500 degrees (this was all the process from the manufacturer). The cement bubbled and cracked on the inside of the...

More work on the egg last night, ground out the crack and I'm going to fill everything with refractory cement hopefully tonight. My goal is smoked wings on Friday. The coating was slow going even with diamond dremel grinding stones.

Picked this up for $200, wire wheeled and rattlecanned all the metal parts, cleaned the ceramic. There is a chip in the lower piece so I’ll be trying some refractory cement and if that works I’ll be setting this up on my deck.

Had to sacrifice some height in the back of the shop, but the kayak situation is much less sketchy
