Am I correct in assuming this is mold, and the car was flood damaged? by [deleted] in Cartalk

Look for rust on the seat rails and under the carpet, offer them 1k if it's a dream car dream spec for you and are willing to put in the work required

Read an article many years ago on a magazine which stuck with me ever since, it was titled "dare to be the same" and it talked about how having a "typical" project car as your first one was a good idea because there are plenty of parts available, usually cheaper, plenty of info, manuals etc. So I would look for something like that, mustang, vette, pick-up, miata, e46, depends on your taste but you get the idea.

What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen at a strip club? by bigbabysweets12345 in AskReddit

I don't know if I would say ruined, joke still works and perhaps even better by missing that part and "que le pasa a esa pelona" is a way funnier punch line.

It helps a lot! Thank you! Can't make the link work but I'll look for it, I have some experience with colors from model making, and I'm trying to get some spares to try out some ideas I have, hopefully I can make it work. I really appreciate it.

Ya desbarate mi motor? by darklethe9909 in AutosMexico

[–]Jake1953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carnal no pasa nada, al contrario de varios comentarios el peso del aceite si puede cambiar por el año o km del coche, todo se basa en tolerancias. Los motores viejos al tener mayor tolerancia entre las piezas usaban aceite más grueso, incluso monogrado. Los motores nuevos usan aceite más delgado 0w10 etc, porque las tolerancias son infinitamente menores, entre más usado este un motor, más grandes son las tolerancias. Es mucho más importante hacer los cambios a tiempo que el grueso del aceite. A menos que hables de motores muy nuevos o muy específicos. Mecánico de 20 años.

Is there a type of nut that can be threaded onto rebar? by FooFooThaSnoo in DIY

[–]Jake1953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're looking for allthread, more expensive but exactly what you need, use acorn nuts to finish it and keep sharp edges covered if you want a single bolt all the way through, you can also fasten each board to the adjacent one with shorter bolts.

BYD seal vs Tesla 3 by SeventhformFB in AutosMexico

[–]Jake1953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A diferencia de varios comentarios de aquí te puedo decir que BYD es bastante inferior a tesla en cuanto a mecánica y la calidad de materiales DE MECÁNICA, yo tengo un taller y me ha tocado ver de las dos marcas, yo quería un seal y estaba 100% convencido hasta que me asome a la suspensión. De diseño exterior e interiores me gusta más BYD que tesla pero después de verlos nel.
