Doin the IDA limbo
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!!

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 )
