Re: Hirsch Auto Auction Sale

Re: sign of the times
I thought my daughter to drive a manual and my oldest nephew asked me last week to teach him. Gotta pass these skills down.

Re: Car Is Shrinking........
Here is how I did it. I'm not saying it was the best way. But it worked well and did no damage.

Re: Car Is Shrinking........
I did the same thing, my shifter was clocked at about 7 O'clock when I got my Roadster. I bent it to 6 O'clock and now it's perfect.
I did it with the shifter still attached and in the car.

Re: winch
One thing to watch out for when using the winch rope is that it can retain moisture. Which isn't a big deal for the winch rope itself. But the drum of your winch can start to rust out.

Re: Replace rear motor mounts
That is good to know. I have several bottle jacks and pieces of 2x4 in my garage. But I don't own a frame spreader.
