[ae95- wagon kid]

i was recently at u-pull it down here in s.a

 

i go there allot and always find all sorts of poverty stricken mods or make do fixes such as

 

-holes drilled all the way through the exhaust system

 

-really really bad bog jobs with no sanding back or anything

 

-patched exhaust holes with bundy cans cut out and held on with large hose clamps

 

-sprayed dash,gear knob, steering wheel etc with a spray can (spray can still in the car)

 

-neons held on with cable ties

 

-found a fake turbo/supercharger thingo

Not at a wreckers.

When I was 16 I used a 2 liter plastic milk container as a make shift fuel tank in my first car. A rather, um, fetching (make that fluorescent) orange Mazda 808 wagon.

I used a small piece of fuel line from the fuel pump, placed into the milk container and zip tied to the inner guard of the engine bay.

Worked well too, drove the car home the 7 kays from where I was, with out any fires (probably just as well as I didn't have a fire extinguisher handy).

My next door neighbor, a mechanic, had a fit when he saw what I had done. The milk container had started to distort from the fuel and heat and,

was just minutes away from breaking and spraying fuel all over a nicely warmed engine.

 

Ahhh. When your 16 and bullet proof. Would I do this now ? - HELL NO.
