Latex throw away gloves...preferably pink...no more greasy handjobs...
supercheap steam guns come in handy
buy a new jack or a beter one from the wreckers because sprinter jacks can fail aparently
i did use the slip on ones. i found them quite easily as i remember where i put them
nah its hard to tell how much lock they added as i fitted p/s arms at the same time. i will say this though the two combined give insane lock. i had to further mod the front of my guards and bash in a seam at the rear of the inner guard if that makes sense .that is with the castor pulled all the way forward.
i'll try to remember to get pics, its a lot of lock!!
For rust/crash fixing:
-Mig welder (also used for fucked bolts )
-Bog
-Crashed panels
-Primer filler (dont fucking skimp on this bit! its the secret to a better finish!)
-Wide variety of sandpaper!!!!!!1!!111!!!!
For sheds:
-Chalk (organise those tyre piles!)
-Screw/bolt organisers
-Toolbox (buy one tough enough to sit on, you will thank me later!)
-Halogen lights on stands (acts as a great light source, and keeps you warm)
For Mechanical work:
-Star stake (best way to remove struts from LWC's!)
-Big fuck off pimp pole for those breaker bars (leverage=win)
-Hydraulic jack
-Rattle gun. Suck it in and get one
-Single hex sockets in bigger sizes (12,14,16,17,19)
-Common sense It will save you time
For mad reppin pointz!:
-Chalk pen (sticker in a pen! fuck yeah! team rep or bogan slurrage )
-Thermos (Hillz runz gets cold)
-Race tape (holds shit together, cheaper than a bliong drift button)
Your a dick Gilly biggest smart arse
you know it
ive got some of those magnet trays but what i do now when i work on cars is glad snap lock bags, and write with a nikko on the front what the bolts are or what ever, like when you take your dash off have dash left and right , when you do your suspension and leave it over night its good so bolts dont dissapear.
I use thin post it notes to lable wiring
I always have some mozzy coils handy because when ever i work on my car they come in droves
I wear white overalls, so when i work in the sun i dont die.
A radio or music to keep me sane.
Lots of cordial
Dish washing liquid and a bucket of sand to wash hands
buy bulk bags of rags, 25 bucks seems expensive but they last over 6 months and having a clean rag when ever you want one is a wonderful feeling.
i dont really like wd40, its got a gay spray on it and just sucks dick, i use the valvoline shite, bit cheaper too.
bulk buy degreaser in 5L containers and fill a garden weed sprayer, pump it up and say good bye to grease, I have a photo my mate took the other day somewhere, i was wearing my white over alls and had the weed sprayer on my back, looked like ghost busters kinda.
A good punch set and a balanced well weighted hammer makes life easier.
I usually have big tubs of nuts and bolts that ive gathered over time and always find what im looking for in there.
Plenty of loctite to stop shit vibrating lose, especially when a 4age is on the pipe.
when im welding i always have a damp rag with me
a white paint pen
thats all i can think of,
