Last weekend's "Family Shop Day".

How to support a 'front-Porch' engine.

Mandy's latest project. She was determined to save that fender, so made a cast of the rear one.

Which is why the bottles outnumber the spray cans.

Clay (neighbor's son in truck) accepts a stolen tool from Austin (Mand's oldest).

Family Shop Day humor...

Mason (Mand's youngest) approves of my 5-speed.

Thanks for playing, everyone.

Well done, you can get more work done when you have your own cheap labour around the house!

Child labour - they are good at electrics as they have small hands

Just had to post this. That's Mand with the Lada almost finished. She's put on a very light orange mist and wants to clear coat it. Now you know who's scoffing the beer...

Oh no! Here in Russia you can open any tuning dedicated webboard and you'll see topics about Lada. I understand that's it's kinda exotics overseas but there are a lot of this crap here. Yes, it's becouse Russia is motherland of this crap.

In this case the blood sacrifice was a hella heinous allergic reaction to something she was playing with in the shop. Welts and blisters over her whole body, multiple miseries and sadness. She's got a shunt in her hand and was going to the hospital every morning for suppressing meds. To make matters worse, she's allergic to antihistamines (!?!). So she's full of steroids. Now she can lift my 924 with one hand...

The truck's real eye candy.

Awww, thanks guys for the beautiful comments on my truck. It was a blast to do. Still not quite done, needs clear coat and have to fix some bubbling issues with the paint.

It will have oil slick capabilities and an ejection seat in the near future, for those who were wondering. However, the moonroof will have to be adapted for the seat to eject...
