Shopshots week 3. Tires and exhaust
Crazy up-shot of my friends car on the alignment hoist. I had done some repairs to this car at home in my spare time and finished it off with a fresh wheel alignment.
Look at that hot new custom exhaust system on a vintage farm truck.
The cars are cold! Man it sucks that I'm going to be dripped on for months by all of the thawing cars. Ugh.
This VW was in for a saftey inspection.
Check out the engine mount below. The bolts are barely holding the engine to the car.
Every year the cold and snow brings on tire season. There isn't too much better in life than fresh new tires!
Wowzers look at this one. This poor tire was driven on flat and that destroyed the sidewalk.
It is shredded inside.
Sometimes even the shop itself needs repairs. The new guy somehow managed the break an airline off of the hoist. Here you can see STEEM helping out. STEEM is everywhere man.
Can you believe someone was driving around on theses bald tires with the cords showing?
On the same car. Two broken coil springs and all of the wheels were bent. I wish I had some course of action to get this car off the road.
A client who I've become friends with gave me a guitar. Man I was overcome with emotion. More on this in a future post. Stay tuned...
We'll end this week's episode with some artsy wheel pictures.
Reflection.
Halloween hands reaching up from the depths.
It's actually just the corrosion happening on an alloy wheel between the clear coat and the metal.
Missed week Two? https://steemit.com/shopshots/@edthecanadian/shop-shots-week-2
Nom nom!
Some very attentive drivers there my friend, no wonder there are so many accidents on the roads, cheers.
Cannot believe how bad some people let there cars get
But that said I think mine is in good shape well I know but a pre winter service wouldn’t hurt
I was introduced to you by @tanglebranch who I think you introduced to steemit and I'm so glad you did. Now really this post does not include one sheep photo?! (lol). I still found it quite interesting and that is a sweet gift!
Yep, I'm in the city two hours away from the sheep. Thanks for stopping by.

Great post man. Thx for showing my crx again haha Yes our winters are hard on the cars and the mechanics eh? Take care Ed!
It's a crazy car now with the race clutch and super low gearing in the limited slip transmission.

Love these shop shots. Always feel bad taking my car in in the winter, but won't change my own oil cause it's nicer to get another set of eyes on the car every once and awhile. I stop by the car wash first to get the heavy fender beards off.
Ministry of Transportation should have a secret number for mechanics to take the worst clunkers out of commission. It's tough, but some cars are a hazard to everyone on the road.
You can keep the snow there, so far we've been lucky here, but I better get the winters on soon.
As for the guitar, 'Stay Tuned...'
No one ever feels bad about their filthy smelly cars. We have more snow now too.
