My adventure as a mechanic


Today was "learn to be a mechanic day" for me. We rebuilt part of the body of the trunk of my car in order to be able to put in new shocks and struts. 

Here is Kent trying to make a hole in the steel piece to attach the struts to. After ruining two drill bits and one of his fancy hole-cutters, he decided to use the blow-torch. It was (finally) effective. 

This is the cool hat I got to wear while we were welding. I really liked it a lot and wanted to wear it the whole time. 

Finally Dan showed up just to help us put the last set of shocks on. 

Look at my shiny new shocks! Pretty blue to replace the rusty, broken, red ones!
