Tools Tools Tools

A post I recently commented on had me thinking about how much stuff I bought just to work on my Boxster. Maybe I should be renting stuff out.

I have the same assortment for the same purpose - even a Mohawk 2 post lift.
In all my years working on Jaguars I had accumulated a lot of tools but compared to the Boxster ......
In addition the tools needed upgrading -for example the very high precision measuring tools for measuring bore taper and ovality. Of course if you have the money for a 3.6 ,hat can be saved towarf the wonderful 3.6 upgrade !

Tools are our friends!!!

Nice stuff.

Wow! There must be some sort of Hall of Fame for guys like you. Way to go!

I so wish I had that lift.......not so much on the snow blower way down here

Awesome! My workshop is very similar - including the spare engine!

You can never be too rich, too thin or have too many tools! That's what Wallace Simpson meant to say!

I thought we weren't allowed to post porn on here...? :confused: :D

I remember seeing a picture of JFP's toolbox :eek:
