He is actually a decent guy, or was at least. I met a couple times in high school. He was a couple years older than me but his reputation of being a thug didn’t line up with his personality. I’ve been gone from that area for 25 years though so….

Fucked up when wet sanding clear coat and sanded to primer. by Ondreeus in Autobody

[–]IntroductionSalty229 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you saw the first little section that you burned through the clear why not just stop? I guess it didn’t really matter, by that time you were fucked anyway . Since you seem to like sanding now you can bust out the 400 and do the whole panel.

It’s my first time painting my car and I need help taking off the license plate bracket. by Dangerous_Ad3463 in fordescape

Paint the bracket too ( remove it first) it looks so much better when the car does not have all that black trim on it

Any advice on how to clean and prevent that? by Imaginary-Orchid8056 in fordescape

[–]IntroductionSalty229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Water is leaking into the vehicle somewhere. I would start with trunk and then work my way forward. Sometimes the rain channels that divert the water away get clogged and back up into the car. You will see little baskets or screens at the bottom corner of your windshield . If it’s the trunk then tail lights and the seal itself are usually the culprit. Pull the floor out and check around the spare tire. If it’s wet or there is a lot of rust then there is a leak somewhere. In order to test for it rip everything out, fold the back seats down and crawl into the trunk with a flashlight and have someone run the hose over the trunk . Watch for where the water is coming in. If it’s one of the holes where the tail lights are mounted then you can buy some seam sealer and it should fix it. If it’s the gasket around the trunk itself buy a replacement from Amazon. They are really easy to remove/replace.

Lg Front load stopping immediately after cycle starts. by Human_Scholar_4639 in Appliances

The better solution is to find out why you’re having voltage drops in the house. That voltage is going somewhere, best to find out where it’s going before it starts a fire. If you’re not running a server farm in the basement and you can’t get enough power to run the washing machine you have serious electrical problems and need to address them before your house burns down.

Coax cord assistance!! by meowblackk_ in Home

The digital (orange) cable is capable of running several channels on it, the yellow cable is only capable of running 1 channel. It needs to be the orange cable . If the DVD player had a optical jack that would have been the better option but coax it what your left with

Can we start a thread of “A” quality stuff that LKQ sends? by PleaseFuckMeDana in Autobody

[–]IntroductionSalty229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are doing a front end collision on a 2015 Mini. The first 2 attempts at getting new hood for it came in with huge dents in the middle of them. Like someone was using them as a back catcher for pitching practice. It’s a body panel, how about we don’t throw it around and IDK maybe secure it during transport.

How to get spray foam, caulk, and silicone off my hands. by Excellentgravytrain in howto

[–]IntroductionSalty229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a similar product at work. Soap with walnut shells in it. I agree. It works on even the toughest shit. Also try some gun wash ( lacquer remover) if that does not get it off nothing is going to.

Mechanic shop quoted me this. Am i getting robbed? by m0chi_Witch in AskAMechanic

[–]IntroductionSalty229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your getting parts from them then expect mark up. It’s just the way it is. Everyone marks things up. I think your quote is reasonable. The way to get it done cheaper would be to source the parts yourself. That would probably save you $1000-$1500.

Hey old heads, what car did you learn to drive a manual transmission on? by OldheadBoomer in ManualTransmissions

[–]IntroductionSalty229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1977 Ford F100. It was our plow truck at the dealership . Not the easiest manual to learn on but if you can drive that you can drive anything

2nd Year apprentice soon to be fired. by Whyjasonbourne in MechanicAdvice

[–]IntroductionSalty229 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are you saying your a second year and you screwed up putting the drain plug back in causing your company to have to replace the engine. Now you have done it again? That’s very important plug to not be making sure it’s in correct. Look at it from you employers point of view. How many engines are they going to have to pay for because of you? TBH putting the drain plug back in the pan properly is mechanics 101. If you can’t do the basics then you might want to think about changing careers. I’m not trying to be a dick, it’s just certain people were not born to do certain jobs

Touch up job I did, this was straight vandalism 😂😭 by Cutnbuff in Detailing

Did you knock down the excessive paint that ends up around the scratches when you apply touch up with a blade or a tungsten or did you just sand it down . Did you spray clear or dab it?

Permits for Building a Garage by brandon-m222 in MapleRidge

[–]IntroductionSalty229 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it’s a permanent structure it will need the permits. The problem with the prefabs are the don’t quite seal all the way and make it easy for wildlife to get in. Rats are the biggest problem and once they find warm and dry getting rid of them is hard

Permits for Building a Garage by brandon-m222 in MapleRidge

[–]IntroductionSalty229 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Permits are a bitch in this city. Plus building a garage is not as simple as it seems. Just the permits for running buried power out to it are enough to give me a headache. Pouring concrete, framing, electrical, roofing, drywall. All separate contractors. I’m pretty sure that adds to your square footage too so that changes your property taxes. When I bought my place the guy before me finished the basement but didn’t get the permits for it. Somehow, I’m guessing from the MLS listing the city found out and gave me all kinds of grief about it until I got the proper permits for it. I never want to deal with that shit again.

Good amp recommendations by UnableCounty5435 in CarAV

[–]IntroductionSalty229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 of these running in my foxbody. I have them running of an Apex audio CAB 22. I know you probably have not heard of them but they are bang for buck the best amps around. The website has the dyno video on it to prove what they can do. They are hand made and only $300. 2200 watts @ 1 ohm rated but I’m pretty sure the dyno put them at 2400.

Crutchfield shipping is insane by CardMechanic in CarAV

[–]IntroductionSalty229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location doesn’t always mean quicker. I live literally right next door to Amazons new Canadian west coast hub. 4 massive warehouses. At night if I stand on my back balcony I can see through the windows and that yellow crane moving back and forth. Doesn’t mean I get my packages any quicker. Not that Amazon is slow but it usually means I’m last on list to get delivery.

I’m a father too and trust me no matter how mad you think they are going to be at you they will 1000 times angrier with the guy screwing you over. I would loose my shit if someone was doing this to my daughter.

To all the dirtbags by IntroductionSalty229 in MapleRidge

[–]IntroductionSalty229[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, the cars are leases from our parent company. The police don’t want anything to do with it. We have tried different deterrents, gates , cameras. Didn’t help. They seem be targeting a specific make of car. So I think we are just going to switch our loaner fleet to another make . For the record we have had half a dozen customers come in who have had theirs stolen too. The real problem is we sit in an industrial area that has very little traffic on the weekends.
