I actually seem to be running out of projects

JPSmit · Feb 13, 2009

and I am very excited.

However, I need to put the rubber trim strip over the rear cockpit surround. How do I make the holes for the snaps?

How about an ice pick and then a paper punch?

Hot soldering iron tip?

This reminds me of a cure I once heard of for "Crabs"..

Shave off half your pubic hair. Douse the other half with lighter fluid, and set it one fire. When the crabs run out, stab 'em to death with an ice pick.

crabs? wow

Running out of projects??!! Sounds like you need to break something.

But don't worry; the car will figure out all kinds of new projects for you in time. Might spring 'em on you when you least expect it.

You are running out of projects. When can I load the truck and trailer and bring you a bunch. I can leave now should be there within the hour clear the garage.

Cheers

do I get to keep them when they are done?

abarth69 · Feb 14, 2009

No but I will let you take them for a spin as I only have two feet.

Please put the coffee on and stock the fridge.

Cheers

I forgot to ask which one do you want first?

Maybe the a real Sprite

Or the modified Fiat - maybe we can get back to stock :wink:

seriously, I'm dying for a ride in the Abarth one day

JPSmit · Feb 14, 2009

BTW I should clarify the reason I'm slowing is because it's too cold to glue in carpet, therefore no panels, therefore no seats, therefore no doors

Then you need a heater like this. I have a red one up at the farm 125000 btu

Runs on diesel fuel will heat up the garage in no time. No ugly fumes

You can pick them up at TSC should be on sale now.

We had a couple of those when I was a kid. They will make you sweat in the barn when you're working on a tractor (or anything else).

Bill, were you in the Navy? This sounds like some medical advice I've heard on board ship.
