Got my engine crane and stand together today. Slowly making progress.
Yes Dan the snow sucks. Been cold also. Spent a bunch of time this weekend scraping the driveway with the snowblower and bucket on tractor. Trying to get rid of the thick layer of built up snow and ice.
Thanks Mike it sounds awesome. I am having it rebuilt and then selling it to gain back what I bought the other one for, then I dont have to rely on a rebuilt caliper. I got the car back yesterday. Doing the rear brakes next weekend, from what Ive been told its not as much of a PITA w/ broken bolts as the front is.
Thats a nice hoist! And yes this winter has been brutal, way to cold and way to much snow and its getting cold again last this week.
No but you have to pay for it every time the furnace kicks on.
Well I have my brembo caliper back but I have to time sert one of the bolt holes and rebuild one side of the caliper w/ new seals. The seal kit and the time sert kit would cost just under $200. A working brembo for my car costs about $300-$400 used for what I could sell it for so say if I sold it for $300. $350 + 200 to repair it = $550, sell it for $300 and I'm out $250 vs being out the $375 I'm out now for paying for the new caliper + shipping. Not sure if you can rent a time sert kit any where or not, damn thing is $92. I could check w/ a shop and see what the would charge to put that in but they would prob charge an hr of labor which would cost $80-95 anyway.
I didnt pay to much more for the wolf bass case. I wish spring was almost here its -8 here right now lol. I cant wait to do some shooting, still have not shot the .40c yet. Winham walmart had a good supply of ammo yesterday, 100 round value packs of .223 and .40. They have the 750 round ammo cans as well but they are not that great of a deal over all. I think I'll pick up a new ammo can today at Tractor Supply so I'll at least be able to get all of my brass in ammo cans.
Yeah we get rewarded with a few nice days to knock the snow down then right after that another 10" + storm is set to move in. I would love for some real spring to get here it is getting to mid march after all. This winter will just not let go
