All Work And No Jack

I didn't get much done on the bomb this weekend. The right rear tire went flat Thursday. Temporary Use Only. No kidding. With two tires down the thing is immovable.

I picked up a Torin jack from Northern Tool on Sunday. It looked good on the web and the floor model wasn't too bad. After the 40 mile trip, I unpacked the jack. There was hydraulic oil all over the inside of the box and the outside of the jack. The jack was leaking. There's nothing like a second 40 mile drive to scenic Duluth. Northern tool refunded the purchase no questions asked. No jack, no tires, nothing accomplished.

I did find time to organize the second garage bay. That space is reserved for large items like the motor, transmission as well as interior parts that don't go directly to the trash. I had hoped to be able to save at least some of the panels. I now realize that I'm better off replacing just about anything that unbolts. I have located a few parts cars in the UK. Norm has some panels as well.
