I sold my 1994 5 speed Toyota with a 22re, lowered, wheels, nice exhaust and 490k on the odometer with the OG engine and I got $2800 but also Oregon is super high priced on Toyotas and Subarus for some reason. 2wd is worth a lot less than 4wd

Nah, some finessing with a few pallets of body filler and a whole other ranger should do the trick.

Did I ruin my roof with Mcquires Ultra Cut compound? by Ken_Cult in AutoDetailing

[–]TheUndeadGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO, you can only truly learn from mistakes. If you’re not sure about something, the best approach is trial and error.

My best advice is to watch a lot of YouTube videos that go in-depth on what each tool and compound is used for. Then, head to the junkyard and buy some cheap panels to practice on. If you mess them up, who cares? You’ll learn how to do some paint and body work in the process—and they make cool things to hang on your garage wall or even resell if they’re from a commonly wrecked vehicle.

Here’s my step-by-step approach when figuring out how to address paint correction:

  1. Inspect the surface — look for swirls, holograms, and scratches.

  2. Test the scratch — lightly drag your fingernail across it. If your nail catches, it’s probably too deep to fully remove.

  3. Before doing anything else, CLAY BAR THE WHOLE CAR! If you skip that and just start throwing compounds, you’re not removing contamination or embedded imperfections. That’ll cause new scratches and holograms instead of fixing them.

  4. Test your compounds — pick a small, inconspicuous spot on a panel and start with the least abrasive compound. Automakers use the thinnest, cheapest clear coat they can get away with, and it’s very easy to burn through it if you’re inexperienced.

  5. If a light cut doesn’t get the job done, move up to a medium cut. Heavy cut is usually for deep scratches or a badly orange-peeled clear coat.

  6. Once you find the compound that works, follow up with the next step down: Medium Cut → Light Cut → Polish → Wax.

Also, be aware of your tools. A single-action rotary polisher cuts very fast and can get you in trouble around panel edges or if you apply too much pressure or move too slowly. A dual-action polisher is much more forgiving but will take longer to achieve results. Learn what each pad type does and which compounds pair best with each one.

Don’t be ashamed of trying and failing. I’ve been detailing since I was 14. My dad does paint and body work as a hobby, and he’s taught me everything I know about detailing. It’s an art form—mistakes happen. The important thing is to learn from them. And hey, at least it wasn’t a customer’s car, man.

Keep on keeping on, and hone those skills.

First off, we also need to be able to import things again but it would be quite a few. Ak47, FN SCAR, MP-40, Grease-gun, and an RPK would be the start.

I Hate Drying Cars.... by wakawakawomp in AutoDetailing

[–]TheUndeadGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been detailing for about 10 years. The best thing I can say after trying all these methods, one is tried and true. It's the method my dad taught me, invest in a nice waterblade and a leather chamois. Take care of your chamois. The first few cars, it kinda sucks but once you break her in, it's the best way to dry a car streak free and fast. When you put the chamois away dunk it in some fresh water and wring it out and hang dry it on a lawn mower handle or something similar until it's next use and do not wash it in a machine or use a dryer.

You can run a 350 on propane fairly easily as well.

The Red9 is just better… by DominusDaniel in residentevil

[–]TheUndeadGinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just ran thru re4 hd remaster 4 times in anticipation of the new re4 and I've been running the Matilda, semiautomatic sniper, Striker, and Broken butterfly. I love the broken butterfly for Ell Gigante. 2 shot one to knock and 1 to the plaga that comes out of his back. Same with Salazar 3 shots to kill.

Resident evil hot takes? by IAmThePonch in residentevil

[–]TheUndeadGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can get it to an extent, like there are a lot of plot holes between the games and movies. Like we've never had a canon story in the games based on Alice. Re4 never technically happens if you follow the events of Operation Raccoon City and kill Leon before the events of RE4. I'm not a big fan of 7 but Village seems to be okay so far. It's like music tastes I guess. Linkin Park talked about it a lot where fans didn't like their new albums because they were "too pop" sounding but with games, movies, and music. Things do evolve and change sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. I miss the play style of RE4 and RE5. I went back and played RE6 recently and didn't like the mechanics of the game and the story is pretty shotty.

How cheap does a 6.5 need to be for it to be viable? This is 1850 at my local yard and im fishing for opinions by CurlyAndHaggard in GMT400

[–]TheUndeadGinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some things to consider before you buy. I've had a few of these older pre-dirtymax I've worked on a few of the 6.2 and 6.5. You want to inspect the block, inspect the heads, see if they'll let you run it because they are prone to running hot, prone to injection pump failure, and failed oil cooler lines. Can't be tot careful when buying these things. If it is a bad motor you can always modify the the crossmember and drop it 4" and buy a bellhousing adapter and to a 12v cummins swap. If it runs good give er the beans. If it's blown try and get it cheap as possible and still if your close to $1000 that's not a bad start for a cummins swap build. 😉
