Yeah, the undercarriage of that 250 will never be the same.

 

[sogncab]

Yeah, the undercarriage of that 250 will never be the same.

It'll last most of the winter no problem.

I hosed it as best I could with WoolWax.

I do a lot of business with people in Minnesota. They are nice like southerners. It’ll give you some new territory to explore so you can “bump” into her and spend time with her.


I have been putting off replacing my sticking brake switch for a year now with a new one from city racer. Just no motivation right now to spend time in a hot garage or away from my girls.

Waiting on Amazon to move to the crank. Need a part that's on the car.

So I dive into this joyous project

BS!

"Minnesota nice"

Here's an example:
I love that you don't care what you look like.
Or
That color is really slimming on you.

They don't have the balls to say the truth, which would be you fat fqck, you're covered in grease.



This state is a dump, if I wasn't tied here by a business, I would be gone.
Terrible weather.
Completely inept leadership
Roads are horrific
Draconian taxes

F this place

I scrape it as best I can then I use a Milwaukee wire brush to finish the task

I use this gun for Fluid Film and WoolWax.

I've started moving to WoolWax for undercoating. It seems to spray a bit more evenly.

I did not warn Bryan, the owner, that my threads always devolve into some layer of chat before they were concluded. Page 5 is pretty quick

Thank you! Is this like a wire wheel or manual brush? How does it affect the paint under it? I appreciate your help!

Electric. You need to be careful. It may scratch it. I don't usually work on junk that matters if it's scratched under the new rubbers

I have a bunch of plastic body trim tools and scrapers, and just did this job 2 nights ago using one of them. About 5 mins to get the big stuff/strips off, and then another hour per door to scrape all the black stuff that is remaining. I plan to use 3M adhesive remover as a final cleaning step, then some alcohol prior to re-installing new weatherstripping. Here is an example of the scrapers:

Its the internet.

Some a-hole will always come along and tell you what a flaming dumpster the state he lives in is. Every. Single. Time.


Funny story and I'll stop ragging on the state with more snowflakes inside than outside.
I don't remember the movie, but the characters were on some baren frozen prison planet. Intolerably cold outside. You could not survive if you wanted to escape.
It was 10º colder outside the theater than it was in the movie.


Yeah, f this place.....
