Minus the tires ??

 

ofioliti... I'm envious of that garage... I would LOVE to have windows in the garage ! Sweet.

Looks like a couple of very clean cars, too ! You're not in the OCD HOF for nothing.

 

Ken- Pics of the wheels...?

 

Here you go...

 

CR&PW&JB- i dont think so cause i have a feeling we're going to get
my wife a new car (family car) next year due to all the problems the
Legacy's been showing...which means i might just run the ASA's that
are on the wagon right now until Spring. there's decent tread left
on the ASA wheels... (avids).

If you were to buy these wheels new they are only like $100+ shipping
each.. so unless you get them with the tires it's really not much of a
bargain(?).

thanks for posting the pict.

 

Cool, ken... thanks. I see your thread for the sale has lots of interest. You'll sell them soon !

 

yah, im really in no rush to sell this wheelset, as a matter of fact.
it's good to have a spare set just in case.

i usually keep 2 sets of wheels with tires per car so there is no down time
in case i have problems finding the exact tires when one blows or something.

 

Actually the Accord looks pretty good. Really no serious swirlage---just a few cobwebs that are really hard to see. Quite surprised myself since she takes it to the dealer for free washes in the winter. The paint must be pretty tough.

Well, all clouded over here today and pretty wet, so no sun pictures.

 

Oh, thanks. The 'ideas for your garage' thread has really inspired me to fix it up. I'll be asking for some advice soon. Yeah, the windows are nice to have.

If only they were white. They look like they are really easy to clean.

 

So, Ken, from another thread too it sounds like you have the tools and know-how to fix your own dings. Can you share with us what you use?

I was intending to watch the Dent Wizard guy do the work on my car last time, but couldn't wait around the shop to see it done. Is it simply a matter of removing the right panels and stuff and gently hammering from the inside? Any job-specific tools needed? Thanks.

 

they might be using a touchless wash and using clean towels.


yah, i would like to have windows on my garage too. my parent's house
had it and it was nice. kept good lighting and helps in ventilating too.

yep, the wheels are very easy to clean. especially vs my new BBS.

 

i use the same tools the pro's use. but it's not just the tools, you
have to have training to know how to read the dent and where to
push in order to do it right. and it took minimum 6-7months of
intense practice (every day for 2-3hrs) to get to my level. and my
level isn't quite pro-level yet cause i can fix dings correctly but i take
too long.

 

Yikes. OK, off to Dent Wizard again.

 

you might be able to find someone local that might do it for cash at a
lower price?

 

Funny you should mention this. I just recalled that BradB had recommended someone from DW who works on his own as well. Just gotta give him a call and find out how much 'cheaper' he is ...

Thanks, Ken.

 

sounds good. typically a small ding quoted $99.99 at dentwizard turns
out to be $35-40 cash. hope you find him

 

Hi gang, we made it in great time here, 800 miles Saturday, then 400 yesterday. Poco was covered in bugs, but took him to a local wand wash and he looks good now.

weather is kind of cloudy, probably rain later, but it's great to be back up here at the beach

Ok, enough of this on-line stuff, back to being busy doing nothing

hi lotsie! glad to hear you guys are enjoying your trip while we
are at work grinding away. hahaha.

 

hey the wheels are sold.

going to be busy packing them up tonight and shipping them off tomorrow
am.

 

Gonna throw in any freebies?

 

humm... that'd be kinda fun. i got like a small sampler bottle of Rubber and Vinyl
i can toss in there.

 

Nice Hit-and-Run post there, Mark !! Stop in and visit when you can stay longer next time !!!

Glad you arrived safely... you, Lois, the MINI, and the bugs.

 

Hi everyone! Been away all weekend and it looks like I missed quite a bit. I was in DC doing touristy things with Dave and now we're back!

I took Geoffrey to the dealership today to have his washer jet problem fixed. They replaced the washer fluid motor and installed check valves so that he stops "crying".

Geoffrey will be getting a bath on Friday so that he can look nice and pretty for MTTS this weekend. I'd do it tomorrow but he's going in for an alignment and they'll probably get him dirtier somehow so there's no point in cleaning him beforehand.

 

 

wheels are packaged, but i didnt include the dressing bottle in there.
i didnt want to risk it opening while the fedex guy rolls the wheels
across the warehouse down the truck + heat. if that dressing leaks,
that packaging will come apart... so, didnt want to risk that.

going to drop it off at fedex in a little while.
