Well seeing how i didnt get ---- for christmas... I decided to buy myself some ---- I wanted but no one would buy me... for starters, Lowes finally restocked their welders so i picked me up a Lincoln ProMig 135, a Real Mask, and a cheap ass 14in chopsaw (in the garage to lazy to take pic), I would have picked up a nice 20Gallon Compressor with diegrinder, cutting wheel and sander.... but it wouldnt fit in the car.....

Then I picked up this lovely SAAB T3 Turbo(.42/.48). This turbo is by far in the best condition i have seen a junkyard turbo in.... It has no shaft play whatsoever and no endplay either...it spins ok... not so freely but i guess thats cuase its been sitting in a garage for about a year... not bad for 60$...

Then last but not least.... here are some manifold plates from BMC (Nicest ---- ever seen)and some EL welds from MCmasters.... (still need way more on order)

DAmn... Now i need to buy a new Digital Camera, cause this peice of ---- 5$ one isnt cutting it anymore...

how much was the bill? Im planing on makeing a manifold but i dont know if my tig welds will hold :-\. I have those flanges also they are awsome i dont want screw up makeing a manifold.

well the el's are are like 5 something each.... and Mcmasters is only a few miles away so shipping is next to nothing... I ordered like 10 more 90degree's and some straight pipe... ---- came out to like 50-60

poop on you
i want a welder

oh, a garage would be nice too.

How much was that welder? I need to buy one. Wel, I don't NEED it, I want it.

i bought a 110 off a member (racerex, i think) for 150 shipped, with mask, basically brand new, and he threw in a free angle grinder for me ;D and my lazy ass still hasn't used it :P

not too shabby. but you do need a better cam tho :P

about 500 (including mask) at LOWES....Now i just need to head out to my welding supply store.. and fill up a bottle with some CO2 or Argonand get an adapter... still dont know what to use... i guess the dudes will tell me.... havent had time to watch the video...

I got this ---- on credit so im guessing anyone witha part time could afford it. Gonna go this weekend and buy the compressor (cash of coarse... dont want to max out the bitch) and some nifty air-tools....

Already received the extra 90 degree Elbow's and some straight pipe... gonna make some sick ass manifold...

d16z64life that looks like mine.... but really man.. this damn turbo is ------- awesome... no shaft play... better get that bitch spooling soon....
