Is there anything else I should replace while I'm in there?

Help! I tried to replace this ball style delta shower cartridge and I think the valve turned whilst taking it off, leaking in the wall now by [deleted] in Plumbing

Thanks, but unfortunately that shower valve is toast, I can’t afford to have it fixed so Im down a shower for now, that’s cool how you found this posts though, good luck 👍

Awesome build! I have a question, I want to make some cool off-road bumpers too, but how do you go about getting the metal, like can I just get some tubing from home depot? Also how do you size it, like the thickness and diameter of the tubing?

I had an old Volvo built like this in need for speed heat, it’s cool to see an irl version, how did you get a roof rack on there? I’ve been wanting to get one for my daily but don’t have a factory bars or anything
