Hi

A few weeks ago I had an incident with my engine stand. 
I bought a cheap chinesse one hopping it will be ok if I bought a high weight one. I bought a 2000 lb, but as you can see on the photos it come with a bad weld ( a weld with no penetration that peal off ).
Please never trust one engine stand and take extra care when use one. Never put yourself under one!


I think I was lucky and i can get away with a pulley and a bolt of the exhaust maindfold. I´ll know when I buy a new engine stand. I´m trying to get a refound and looking for a better quality one.

Hi,
My car hasn´t got the inner fender splash shield for the driver side. And as I´m in Europe, to get here any spare is expensive for the transport and for the import tax, so I did a hand make one from cheap materials. I hope this post help to any one on similar situation to me. I use a couple of plastic buckets, the ones here are use for everything on the garden. 




I did a post about it, you can find more photos on it;
