Me: This old car should be a fun restoration project, I can’t wait to learn new mechanical skills!

Car: *old shit breaks and everything is seized & rusted on and K-Jet laughs at my puny attempts to tame it while I contemplate bequeathing my estate to IPD *

Me:

Memery aside, I bought a Harbor Freight jack and jack stands. I should say I replaced the jack since the regular 6-ton unit had faulty hydraulics and I could get the low-profile unit for $5 more, should I want to STANCE NATION the Miata.

The Volvo’s fuel pump may be okay since it turns out that the leaky thing is actually the fuel accumulator which is about the same price but a bit harder to find. I’ll go confirm this.

If you restrict yourself to four-letter words you reduce the ability to make some of the better compounds, like “fuck-monkey ass-basket”.

My general rule of thumb for any project is the rule of Pi. Think about your worst case scenario for time / cost and multiply that by 3.14. This will be a pretty accurate representation of how much time and money you will spend.

But CIS is so cool! It is like a carburetor that makes sense. Both the “Bunny Book” (Watercooled Volkswagen guide) and the Saab manuals do a really good job explaining it. (picture from the former )
