pictures from the Titanic bolts, yea yea...true! they use 13mm on that boat.

Driving in our northern streets in winter time is like driving in the Ocean...

Salt will kill cars / van in a few years if this one desn't have rust
protection. You can compare salt dammage to a car to the sun that killed
paint in AZ...

But hey, nothing scare me now...i have seen worse! let see what this engine
as inside this afternoon, fist i got to get those exhaust bolt out...that
can be painfull sometime...

Best regards to yous guys...
