POTD- PROJECT OF THE DAY: What Did You Make In Your Shop Today?

Looks good. I have those openers on my 9'x12, and 10'x12 shop doors, and I love them. Really quiet, and dependable. The dual springs were a bit scary getting wound up. Not my first rodeo, but you definitely need to be paying attention. I use a two foot pipe wrench on the shaft locked into the wall as a safety while winding. Mike

I desperately need to learn to tidy as I go, I've tried and tried and after all these years I still cant do it, All the good intentions under the sun and still I cant do it.
I am in awe of those shops full of clean machines and equipment with a place for everything and everything in its place.
I think I'm way too old to change now but honest I have tried. :bawling::bang head:
 
Today White elephant No:1 come back for repairs, drivers side wheel bearing started to make noise, i had an entire spindle so i changed it completely. Took it for a drive it's quieter but all other wheel bearing are becoming noisy. I'll probably order 4 new bearings and replace them all. It has some new damage, on the front wings, it will need to visit the body shop after the astra. I also replaced the hood and trunk badges.

@GoceKU I admire your repair skills. You are very resourceful. Too bad you have to use those skills so often. It seems like every week or so you are fixing some car "disaster" or another. Wishing you some spare time...
 
Yeah, sometimes i wish some of the cars are not such a disaster, but on the other hand they keep my skills sharp. Espacily my brothers cars are always a dumsterfire. This my brothers Ford it has the Mazda L series engine and drinks engine oil more than 2 Stroke engines. Just half an hour ago i check the oil in it and it was dry, so i started adding and it took 4,5 liter only very little left at the bottom of that jug. That means that engine only has 0,5 liters of oil in it.

@GoceKU
How many brothers do you have (that bring their cars for your care)?
All the damage and disregard, attributed to your brother, can not be caused by one person.
