After I found all the drugs I pulled the carpet and stripped the entire car! I drove around paranoid for a while. It would be some bs to get busted for possession considering I've never done drugs or even thought about trying them, EVER!

My 89 Iroc a few years ago:

1) No sir! A bungee cord is not just as good as a tranny mount.
2) No Sir! Orange extention cord does not make a good wiring harness for your headlights.
3) No Sir! White tub chalk does not make good T tops seals.
4) No Sir! An old gym sock does not work just as good as a airfilter on the TPI.


But, What do you want for 500 bucks. :lol:

OMG it's so funny I am in tears. It's amazing what people do.

From Ty's project "FreedomBird"

-Duct tape on the backside of a rusty hole then covered with bondo is not a suitable way of repairing rust
-The proper way to put on quarter skins is not butting them up to originals, tack welding every 4 inches, then banging in the seam with a hammer, and pouring in buckets of bondo
-holes filled with bondo are not done correctly
-a 6x6 piece of sheetmetal from a 89 Nissan does not qualify as a trunk drop down support
-Wear a hood and look a what your welding
-1/4" plate welded over the holes in the frame rails looks like crap
-I'm sure there more

You forgot "filling holes with tin foil and then covering with bondo is not a proper subframe repair!" :eek:

This thread is great!

-Cutting a hole in the inner fender with an air chisel to replace the blower motor is not the way to do it.
-Your riveted aluminum patch might not rust, but please...steel is cheap and welding isnt rocket science.

1. A C clamp is not the proper way to hold on a cross member!
2. Great stuff foam is not the proper way to seal the quarter panels to the trunk drops!
3. If you're going to rivet galvanized sheet metal all over the old stuff at least cut the rust out!
4. Thanks for the rusted tools I found inside various panels!
5. What would possess you to put a double DIN FORD radio in a chevelle dash?
6. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH METRIC HARDWARE!!!

redfire69..... our cars must have come from the same owner

Sheet aluminum patch panels on the floorboards covering the seat belt mounts.

When I got the car the owner didn't even know the seat belts were in the card board box of "extra parts" he gave me.

Fiberglass to shave the turn signals.

Bondo anywhere and everywhere.... and a whole lot of other crap used to patch that I can't even identify.

The more I think about this stuff the more I get pissed off. Oh well, I'm learning a lot because of the previous idiots "fixes".

I'd like to thank my former owner for never driving my car and leaving it parked in Mom's garage for 15 years. :unibrow: She's finally living the life. haha

Todd --

I was thinking "you guys should buy better cars to start with"..... :rofl:

I just sold a 53,000 ORIGINAL OWNER So CAL 69 Camaro drop top.... didn't have an inch of any rust - or even the hint of it.

Way cheaper to pay up for good stuff than spend a year in body jail.

GREAT LAUGHS AT ALL THE "CRAP" THOUGH!! Seriously -- funny stuff.
