Most dodgiest fixing you have ever seen... Sat, 13 December 2003 14:03 Go to previous message
Cut springs donut count, too ordinary.

I have seen cars patched up with chicken wire, cardboard and chassis protection mass(thick bitumen stuff) in lack of welding machine.

Friend of mine once fixed leaking fuel line with short piece of bicycles inner tube and couple clamps. Worked few weeks until he had a chance to fix it correctly.

I have also seen sheer madness with rusty rear trailing arms. A stupid f***er I know well, didn't pass road worthy test due to rusty rear trailing arms. Engineer said to him to get new trailing arms. This bloke didn't find new trailing arms for suitable price so he decided that he will repair the old ones. He cuted old arms open and filled them with "Das Massa". Das Massa is some sort if man made pottery clay, sold here. But anyway, he filled and baked those. After that he put few layers of fibre glass and paint. He did pass the test with hes "new" rear trailing arms. Any sort of modifying or repairing of chassis parts is strictly forbidden here. Yet to this kinda.

Back in the days when I had my CE-70 corolla, I had really slack shock absorbers. Me and my friend decided to little squeeze those shocks in bench vice. Worked nice in a PADDOCK TRASHER. Thats the most dodgiest repair that I have made.

My second dodgiest fix up is when I had broken alternator bar and I had to wedge my alternator with tennis ball. Tennis ball was there couple of months Laughing .


I cant remember more for now.
