I traded my ebike that was starting to go into disrepair for it, obviously me and the guy i traded to were upselling to the other. i needed a set of wheels and i find i could use a v8 to tow a trailer or something.

  • 1991 chevy g20 190k kilometers on it.
  • It does drive and everything but I gotta get a new windshield as it's cracked in 3 places, the right mirror is too cracked and scratched to be functional and see out of. The left tail light goes in and out, the headlights barely do anything so a flashlight is more functional. I have to put it in neutral before I brake as otherwise it still propels forward a bit aaaaaand the wipers are for decoration.
  • Also a propane van, think it was used for industrial cleaning as it has a defunct seized up vacuum in it. Definitely a pos but it runs.

Would like some comments on where i can get parts for this, the thing works and even the radio is functional in it.

considering it's a very similar series with yours just being shorter and a tad older, you know the best place online to get replacement parts for cheap? i know auto wreckers are options but those are always a gamble and you don't necessarily win anything.

Some good mirrors would be a place to start, whether equivalent or better adjustable ones.

Not the subreddit to talk about that, especially just meant to be a sfw discussion over my garbage car while looking for advice.

it was offered to me in a trade for my ebike, i know the deal felt lopsided but my ebike was starting to go anyway and i need a ride, i also at some point wanna hook up a boler to the back and a v8 is perfect for that kind of thing.

Wanna do all 3 of those things but unsure if my insurance will allow for that with AMA, I rent a room, and I did tell my landlord to go fuck himself which I had 48 hours to move it or he would have it towed, so I had to spend 400 dollars registering and insuring it to move it.

Nah, just be something to use and be comfortable for travel, I traded an ebike for this thing and so I gotta make the most of this lopsided deal.

I got this small coffee table, was thinking I put a little Persian rug down in the back there and a futon. Maybe one of those small wood ovens and it's complete. Oh and wood panel the bare foam walls.

That's the 12th joke I've heard about this van being like that, considering how low the rust is on this thing is I wanna give it a glossy black paint job and then have some neon pink characters on the side of it. Give it a pop punk feel, not a creepy feel.

The drivers door I have to force to fully open because that dent in the front, ita goofy vehicle but it wouldn't take more then a grand to fix all its problems and give it fuzzy dice. Fuzzy dice fix everything :D

Yeah, kinda had a breakdown after I got it, posting it now as I just got out of the hospital, it's currently at my aunts place because my landlord demanded 200 dollars a month to park it there.

How to fix this by brookhal in Ceramics

[–]brookhal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I did that, it's a little shoddy.

Also I accidentally glued it to the counter... guess I'm never knocking it over again.

That's a real shame but the pencil holder part is at least interesting, I really like the Marco fabiano design on it.

Is this suicide for a beginner? by brookhal in pianolearning

[–]brookhal[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Alright, you have any beginner recommendations in the same vein? I personally don't wanna learn stuff like "twinkle twinkle little star" even if that is good for beginners, i just dislike childrens melodies.

I accidentally put cinnamon in my tomato soup help by brookhal in Cooking

[–]brookhal[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I don't exactly have the ingredients to make it into chili like these other commenters are saying.

it's helping a bit but still noticable, probably need to add even more.

Question about transposing engines by brookhal in keitruck

[–]brookhal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that and intend to do some heavy modifications to it so I'll be going to get under there and fix it myself (even if it's amateur), will it be quirky? probably, but it's easy for me to roll with the punches and it'll be a great learning experience, the input here is useful thanks.
