Permatex 84101 PermaPoxy 5 Minute General Purpose Epoxy -- Crystal Clear Review

Permatex 84101 PermaPoxy 5 Minute General Purpose Epoxy -- Crystal ClearThis is great stuff! It sets up fast and bonds pretty much anything to anything else, including to glass. I have used it for repairs including the rear view mirror in our van, which had fallen off since the windshield repair person didn't re-attach it properly.

Haynes Repair Manual for 1964 - 1973 Ford Mustang Review

Haynes Repair Manual for 1964 - 1973 Ford MustangNot for the novice.I've used Haynes manuals before with more modern cars (1990 and newer) and they were exceptional.However, the 1964-1973 Mustang leaves much to the imagination.Lacking are numerous illustrations and diagrams.This book assumes that you know where all of the parts are located, and what they look like.Newer Haynes books have engine overview pictures numbered and labeled.with this book, you're lucky to have a picture at all.This book doesn't even contain key data such as dwell, timing info, or engine idle speed--at least I haven't been able to find it yet.

I am a fan of Haynes manuals, in general, but with the popularity of early-model Mustangs taking off, this one could sure use an update.

J-B Weld 8265-S Cold Weld Review

J-B Weld 8265-S Cold WeldI'm surprised this product doesn't have more reviews.

I've used this product to repair things that seem impossible to fix.I had a hairline crack in my radiator... and it has held for over a year with this stuff on it (drain and cool and dry for at least 12 hours if you use it in such extreme conditions).I've seen this stuff used to repeair engine blocks.I have some holding my lamp upright after I broke the stand.

This product is easy to use and extremely strong.It's also toxic, so use gloves or tools to mix and apply.If you let the item cool, apply to a clean and dry surfance and you wait a long period of time, this stuff will almost certainly withstand extreme conditions.

There is also a line of wet weld and wuick weld products that are pretty darn good, but this is the best of the varieties if you can get the item dry and have time to let it set.

Haynes Manuals - General Motors: Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire (95 - 04) Manual (38016) Review

Haynes Manuals - General Motors: Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire ManualIf you are like me, that is, someone who is not a wizard in mechanics, someone who has never taken a class in how to fix cars, but think that, given the right set of instructions, you can solve most of the problems with your car by yourself and save a bunch of money... this book is for you (assuming you have a Cavalier or a Sunfire, I had the later).

When I bought my Sunfire, I also bought the book, and started with the oil changes (I know, terribly basic). Then I had to change the front break lines, refill the AC, and a few other things, and it was as easy as following the instructions in the book. Yes, probably a professional mechanic would have spent half an hour (and would have billed me for three hours or so) to do something that took me all morning or all afternoon on a weekend day... but I had fun... and I saved about $700 in repairs during the year I had the car. Unfortunately, my wife had an accident and the car was totaled (I really liked that car :-( ), but that happens.

With my newer car (Toyota Camry) I also do the repairs by myself, and I can't complain. I really really recommend the Haynes Manuals. At least the two I've used, and I suppose all others are just as good.
