Seriously though, i dont see why you couldnt learn to do stuff on your own cars, its BLATANTLY not the case that you are thick, i suspect you just lack the amount of time required to get familiar with wielding a spanner etc.

Other problem you have is that the sort of cars you have arent really ideal for learning on!

you would be better off buying yourself a cheap corsa to prat about with (you know you still have love for the little griffins really )

Chip, would love to but just not talented in that way. I just don't have patience of the skill. I am REALLY shocking. Honestly you would not believe it. Its not intelligence, and I'm certainly skilled with my hands in other ways I just can't do any car mechanics or DIY

Mines small but well presented ENough about that, here's the toolbox



Neatly laid out "ratchet drawer"



And my "cutting" drawer



Other random drawers




And lift out tote tray - where I can NEVER find anything when I want it and end up having to empty it out everytime



As said, not the biggest, or with the most tools, but everything in here has a purpous and does it's job when needed


Quick Reply: show us your toolbox's
