The Bastardization Awards, Photos of the PO's Horrific Work Options

[Conrad192]

I thought it would be interesting (i.e. morbid curiosity) to see of the horrific work we encounter from the previous owner. The first "Bastardization Award" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) goes to whoever created this muffler assembly in West Texas.

don't get sucked in by emorygt350.
he is a ford racing department engineer.
that tin can window dressing is disguising a high performance item he is not discussing.

"a while back someone here posted a gearbox hung from a chain at the back end."

@wonkipop That's my car. Plus it had the 5 Gallon gas can in place of the gas tank and was hot wired.

The PO decided the best way to repair the parking brake was to use this option :




Today I was cutting out the heat transfer tubes. Started with the drive side. This is what the rivets from the parking brake look like from inside the rocker panel:



Once I got the heat transfer tube, I flipped it over and they didn't seem to understand drill depth for the rivet holes.




Looked inside the heat transfer tube and found they drilled through the outer tube, insulation and drilled through into the inter aluminum pipe:



I don't know if this is a bastardization or Darwin award
