violhence Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I thought it would be fun if we made a post with pictures from DIY projects on Legacies gone horribly wrong. Anyone have pictures / experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I wish I took pictures of my horribly failed attempt with EL-wiring and my headlamp's "clear streaks."

PeterJMC Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 My most recent one was with using the jack that comes with the car... while the car had no parking brakes... while the car was chucked by using bricks (never was a problem before)... while the car was on my driveway with a slight incline. I had no parking brake because I was replacing the rear rotor and parking brake shoes. I chucked my wheels like I normally do with these two bricks. I disengaged the brake and put the car in gear. Putting the car in gear usually only lets the car move no more than an inch. I had the rear wheel off and a thought popped into my mind, " I should put this rear tire under the car just incase the car falls since I didn't have jackstands to work with. Yes, the wheels were my PFF7s... the bad winter sets though . So I'm not doing any work on the car yet and the car starts to roll backwards with one wheel not attached and on the scissor jack! The car rolled back about 6 inches and stopped. The scissor jack went from 90 degrees to sideways at 45 degrees. The car was now sitting on the face of the wheel. A fresh steamy pile of crap is in my pants. I found a pair of more suitable chucks for the wheels and lifted the corner back up with the scissor jack. The scissor jack was surprisingly fine and not twisted, bent, or broken. My wheel has a small knick on the face. I guess these bricks I used were only good when I had wheels that were smaller than 18s. Lesson learned, only use objects that are designed to be used as wheel chucks. ALWAYS use a jack stand. Do your best NOT to work on an incline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generalleeharvey Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I white lettered my tires using touch up paint...it flaked off and I felt like a tool spending all that time... then I tried that Fusion paint (the plastic spray paint, sprayed it in the lid of the cap and applied it with a brush) and it wasn't thick enough... but now I have blackwalls again!
