Ok so its safe to say i've had a good break between my last post... I just got out of the marine corps, now I'm finally in my own garage in san diego!!! I've been super busy working on the house, and I just got started working a personal trainer at 24 hour (hit me up if your looking).

Here is the new work space...

My roommate own's the company that makes these... they found this appropriate for mine.







My to do list...


A must have for all...






Im working on welding myself an engine stand adapter for it now... but is safe here...

Love the auto mechanic mate sign

LOVE the hansom rob stereo system haha (thoroughly enjoyed that joke)

Steering rack- to take it out you're suppose to use a HUGE adjustable wrench (had to get one from harbor freight) to loosen the nut which is a lock nut. once thats off the allen key bolt can be removed by hand as its only finger tight. But i guess the way you did it works too lol

I love how you used different colored tape for the ignition and fuel wiring. Looks great so far and good luck with the rest. I can't wait to see it.

Nice work man, I just got done doing a lot of this myself. fun fun.

Also I don't know if anyone else mentioned, but the pic of your tstat looks like you need to rotate it with the hole/jiggle pin at the top, yours is rotated towards the bottom.

Must be a military thing.

In the Navy, all of the valves on a ship are colored differently too depending on the fluid that goes through them.

Very good idea though. Definitely.

Marines

You know, it's kind of sad, but I knew you were a Marine the moment I saw the curtains and dressers. They're the exact same ones we had out in Camp Lejeune. Semper Fi brother.
