Today had a nice beetle in with no access holes for plug changes and IDA's........let the picture's tell 🙂

I think #1 plug took 1/2 an hour just to get the stuck socket off the plug once the sparkplug was installed. You gotta love that 👍

Nice lookin bug!

Were you charging by the hour to change plugs? That could have been an expensive service.

Safety thongs for mechanical repairs.

Safety crocs for welding.
👍

I recently decided I would dip safety glasses while angle grinding - kept getting bits burned onto my eyeball. I know wear ski goggles!!

Yep, the car is a left hooker, owner pulled it from the market after driving it again 🙂 . Brought it here for (amongst other things) a ride height raise for the new prospective owner.....left same height as it came 🙂 🙂 🙂

I don't know how much for, but it was for sale. A very nice car with zero rust of any kind, not ever even any rust repairs or prior accident damage with 200 f/w hp and extremely nice interior.......what IS it worth Reub's???? (said in the nicest possible way 🙂 )
