Backyard Mechanic's

Morris is staying at my place, which is sweet. Mitch works just across the street, and there's a Canadian mafacka's just a couple blocks away so we're set for repairs. Plus there's lots of mechanic's around. All costs with the car we're splitting in half, and we're both on the title and insurance.

We lost a wheel bearing on the highway so we hit up the Lordco at Northill's for some new ones and started ripping the wheel hub apart. We got pretty far into it but ended up needing some custom tools and an oxy torch to finish, so it was wiser to take the car across to a garage to get it finished. All told it was a $200 job to fix the wheel. Our car that was once worth 40 hot-dog's is now worth 80 hot-dogs!

We also replaced the front shocks/strut assembly with ones pulled from a scrapyard that we found in the car when we bought it. They aren't much better but the body roll went from ludicrous down to simply atrocious. Don't have to break for the corners on Fortune anymore! :D
