How to destroy a 1977 Porsche 911

My dad worked for GMH at the time but drove a 1984 Nissan Bluebird (my mother had an early Ford Laser)

This was after a string of heavily discounted Holden products, the last of which was a Camira (the Bluebird wasn't a particularly good car on its own, but it was downright brilliant compared to that hateful Camira)

He should have mapped the throttle to one of the analog triggers, not the "A" button.

This thread is like Luddite central, sometimes. In surprised some of you aren't railing against starter motors.

yeah that has to be a hyper-miler. He should work on his metal fab, all those rough edges and panel gaps are gonna seriously gently caress up his gains.

This is a common issue with AW11 MR2s. The window switches are made out of thin, fragile plastic and snap easily, and new ones are no longer available from Toyota. GLHF finding a replacement that works!

The Sera's C155 manual transmission also had a final drive of 4.312 with a limited slip differential. I need to find one of those transmissions badly.

Toyota Previas have an exhaust flexpipe that comes loose and leaks and makes a loud whistling sound on acceleration. So that's probably the reason.

Nah, the Evoque started development after Ford sold JLR to Tata. The current Explorer is just an ex-LR employee copying it for Ford.

"A man lived in Lithuania and worked in construction in Belarus. Every morning, he walks over to the Belarusian side, and every evening, he comes back over to the Lithuanian side with a wheelbarrow full of sand. And, every day without fail, the Lithuanian Customs officers check him for any contraband he might try to smuggle in.

For 20 years, the man works nearly every day for the construction company, and every day customs checks the sand in the wheelbarrow, trying to find hidden goods. They sift through the sand, dig in around it, but find nothing. As the years go on, they try to be more clever. They x-ray the wheelbarrow, run tests on the sand, check inside the wheels and axles - whatever they can possibly think of. In desperation, they even strip search the man a few times and run cavity checks. Year after year, they find nothing.

Finally, 20 years later, the man is old and set to retire. On the day of his retirement, he once again pushes a wheelbarrow full of sand across the border. The customs officers stop him and ask point-blank, "Look, we know you've been smuggling something across the border all these years. You have to be. But we've searched through your sand every day for twenty years, and we've found absolutely nothing. It's killing us - please, we'll give you a free pass, wipe away any past crimes, if you just tell us what it is you've been smuggling all these years!"

The old man raised a confused eyebrow and said, "Really? I thought it was obvious, I've been smuggling wheelbarrows."

Also I love that all the green has UV-faded to yellow on the direct-sunlight portions.

Sanota would work if he got some Chinese car company badge to slap on there and then got some 90s plastic wheel covers and steel 13s to complete the image.

Lotus is dumb, i is smart. he cut the ends of the framerails off because one is damaged and is building a steel box that's going to slide over what's left.

He's an absolute hack doing dangerous poo poo, and it's terrifying that he actually got a license plate on one of the salvage cars he bought.

I skipped a bunch too because the guy's a tool. Episode 1: it's probably not that bad i don't think it rolled over i don't know how the roof got scuffed. Episode 12 Figuring out how to separate the fiberglass bulkhead from the frame. Episode 13: ordered a sick rear end body kit. Episode 14: patching together the busted rear end bulkhead because removing it is too hard.
