Priced out the rust on my Accord and now I get why nobody fixes it properly
Rear arches on a 2007 Accord, both sides, coming through but nothing structural yet. Three shops. Body shop wanted 2800 to cut it out, weld in new metal and blend the paint. Second guy said 1400 and when I pushed he admitted that is cut, patch panel, filler over the seam. A mobile guy quoted 600 and would not tell me what was under the 600. The car is worth maybe 3500 on a good day. So the honest…

DIY Golf 6 Bumper Paint Job//Spray Can Technique & Polishing Advice
Hi, I finished repairing the rear bumper of my Golf 6 yesterday. It had two large holes and cracks all over it, but I’ve repaired everything, primed it and sanded it down properly.

I’ve painted smaller…
Common Mufflers + advice for V6 engines?

I have a V6 and I’m proud of it, so I’m trying to find a good…

I have done so much work and have done quality repairs for literally the entire car. The car is finally in really really good shape. new ac compressor and condenser. New steering rack and lines. New PCV valve and hoses, new timing belt and variable…
Has anyone considered buying a truck to trade for a car on market place
I have noticed a bunch of classics or muscle cars listings that always have a clause that they are willing to trade for a 4x4 truck or like a 2/4- or 3/4-ton truck, sometimes a 1/4 ton. Now I am sure at least one of the people here has either dude this already or considered buying a truck with the goal of trading it for a project car. In theory one could save some change when it comes to getting a…
Looking for knowledge
I’m rebuilding a 4.8 ls in my garage for my friend, just had a few questions as I’ve never gone this deep into a re-seal, 1: how do you remove the oil pan gasket seeing as it’s riveted on? 2: how should I go about cleaning the block without getting a bunch of shit in the engine (I have a shit ton of brake clean, microfibers and a dream) 3: should I do the timing chain before the oil pan goes back…
