The home of unemployed bogans - Hervey bay,
Okeyday, got my $h&ts on about my 3 billion $ machining costs and my revenge wish upon the complete (worst word you've ever heard a drunk sailor utter after learning his D*^k will explode after having a three some with a midget clown and a goat while your mum posted it on youtube) who sold me the anchor that passed as an Evo 3 engine, so I made my own ball joint press for just about anything. It took about15 mins to complete, works like a charm, willing to travel and or accept visitors who are willing to pay in wine (cab sav, shiraz) or beer, spirits, flame grilled T-bone steak etc. There is not much that can be done to a car that I can't do, and I'm not exaggerating, you want me to have the thing text you while putting 5000 volts through the door handles and make everything smell like pork crackle? Well, to be honest you need to seek help, but I am good at welding and electronic stuff. Here are the pics, not painted, not wire brushed just a working prototype.

I work in a welding shop, as an electrician and service technician. I fry things weld things and sell things like presses :)
As one who is qualified, quantifiably and unquestionably, I applaud your work, mad skills of bacon frying and clean welds :thumbsup:
 
ok....well I need this



wired into the evo. I reckon it should only be a few relays and fuses to get it working...watcha think.

Thank you very much :) . On my first welding experience a year or so ago I had to weld up some house stumps 10mm flat plate onto 3mm 75x75 posts with a stick and a gasless mig (I have both, but kinda better with stick) anyway cutting and welding away for 3 or 4 hours wearing singlet shorts and thongs. Worst welding flash EVER, and because I was wearing old footy shorts one of my nuts was hanging out the side for a bit coping some rays as well. :blink: I walked like a zombie for 3 days!

LOL, it won't help with the weight on the 1/4, but not one person in the lane next to you will have the plums to want beat you!

Oh MAN! I was laughing like a hyena this morning, all the guys in the shop were giving me those crazy guy looks. Then I showed them your reply, hahaha oh man everyone was in hysterics!
Made my Monday! Hopefully the ole nut is not too worse for wear!

Yes indeed, glad I made a good Monday for all :lol: . The enthusiasm of 2 new welders was my undoing, nut is perfectly ok now.
When I go out to do any welding now I dress like Buzz Aldrin!
