automotive stuff is also a very good workout.. lots of grip/hands/forearms for sure, but even core etc. doing all kinds of stuff when you're at war w/ bolts lmao.
love it.
I def understand what you are talking about. I had a car where the brake line was rusted and the the fuel injectors had to be replaced.
The bolts to remove the engine head attached by screws in tight places where hands can't fit and you have to get to it from under, full of scars and scratches but so good when you get it out. Then put it back once finished.
So I had to remove the break line especially from the master cylinder those bolt are mofo's. But I found about these twist groove sockets which work amazing on rusted bolts, when you twist it while attached it grips the head the tighter you rotate it and comes off, def check it out. Called twist sockets.
Learned a lot about the braking system of a car from the cylinder to the tires, bleeding brakes, etc. So fun.
yeah man it's mad fun.
hoping it's a long lasting obsession hah.
I BOUGHT a 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat Supercab !!!!!!!!!my obsession with buying a classic truck is now over .. it's now transitioned in how to get it running strong and restoring it.
it'll be a lot of work. having so much fun already. I had to figure out how to get the throttle not to stick in order to drive it onto my property .. so literally day 1 i'm learning stuff.
been giving it an initial cleanup and trying to figure out why my carb is leaking fuel. need to check all fluids this weekend and give it an oil change.. hah.
for this classic truck, i plan to do 99.9% of things myself. plan is to restore this thing to beauty and learn a fu*kton, immerse myself in it.
