Default Another Saturday morning at Special Tools House

While working on Anders and Alan's car we recieved a distrubing phone call from a rennlister by name of VWVORTEX aka (cigga weed)................................................................... ...............................










He filled up his gas tank and was complaining of a awful raw fuel smell. So it seems that he has a gas leak....... We recall that ciggga weed has a big bass kicka. So we ask what were the length of the sheet metal screws that he used to bolt down the kicka??

In other words vwvortex bolted his stero equipment to the gas tank.

I guess the 93 oct is a good ground.

the car that Judson bought and i parted out had that also. I noticed the holes in the rear deck and thought i hope they didnt go into the tank- when i pulled it out gas came pouring out of four holes in the top of the tank. Priceless.

I love how you avoid the engine hoist threads like a plague yet as soon as you can poke fun at someone else, you're all about it. lol

I did the same thing to my VW bug mounting an equalizer under the dash when I was 17. My uncle took away my key to his shop when he found out that I welded the hole in the tank shut inside the building. In my defense I did remove the tank, emptied it, rinsed it out with alcohol, and stuck an air hose in it to dry it our for about an hour, but I guess welding on a used gas tank isn't that smart.
