What is the average cost of fixing a car trunk?
With fuel prices rising continuously from the past few years car users in almost all parts of the world have become cautious about their petrol expenditure. In addition, excessive usage of this valuable resource has lead to doubts in the minds of all. In the past our ancestors have used this valuable resource without thinking about the consequences and we are left with a limited quantity to choose from. Researches have proved that if we continue to use these resources at the same pace, we'll be left with nothing in a few hundred years to come, thus leaving nothing for our future generations. To correct their past mistakes people have been trying to find innovative methods to reduce our needs for non-renewable sources of energy. As a result many car fuel saving devices have been introduced in the market.
With our main non-renewable source of energy depleting day after day and coming to the verge of ending, scientists and experts have been looking for a substitute to our main source of energy. Though there is no unanimous decision taken yet, a lot of suggestions have been laid on the table as of now; however no major steps have been taken to design any product in that direction either.
A breakthrough in the situation came when it was realized that water could be used as an energy resource instead of gasoline or petrol.. The system simply uses water to give greater efficiency and mileage to the cars using the same amount of petrol, gasoline or diesel. Though the system is not an accurate one, scientists are making every effort to overcome those loopholes. The process in the system, converts water (H2O) to HHO known as Brown Gas, this gas burns without emitting any harmful residue or carbon while giving your car an efficiency equivalent to a diesel engine. The residue emitted by the cars using this system is pure water and oxygen. This in turn increases the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere and reduces the toxic level.
The benefits that the users of this system get are:
- People who have these fuel saving devices installed in their cars admitted that they saw an increment of 30% to 100 % in their car's performance, for instance, their cars travelled almost double the distance with the same amount of fuel. Though the results differ according to different models of the car, a minimum jump of 30% is quite an achievement towards saving the fuel and the cost.
- The main player in the system is the Brown Gas which when burnt produces great amount of energy and increases the power output significantly.
- The residual water cleans out the engine and the oxygen increases their lifespan, the surrounding areas are therefore cooled down in the process.
- People around the world are being rewarded for their efforts towards promoting and saving fuel, you could be one to promote such devices and earn some cash too

A leak in this area is almost always one of 2 things. Either your heater core is leaking or the drain line on the A/C condenser is stopped up. Another possibility is a windshield leak, but not likely. If the fluid smells or tastes sweet it is coolant and you need to replace the heater core. If it is just water, look under the truck, passenger side near the firewall and find the condenser drain line. Use a blunt object such as an unsharpened pencil and clean out the line. Another possibility: I have a dodge dakota that had this problem. I ended up tearing out the entire interior bc I was so frustrated. I couldn't find the source. After I did this I realized the rear sliding glass window was leaking and the water was pooling in the drivers side floor board area.
Is owning a bodyshop a profitable business?
It can be if you are good at it. There is a lack of good body shops around. Many of them around where I live are backlogged for months.
Lead won't rust in the same way as iron, a white oxide layer will appear overtime, but it won't break away as much as rust on iron.
pull ur inside panel off and there is a plastic clip that connects your handle and pull bar to open ur door. mine broke on both doors. u can order the part but i just used metal brackets to replace it so it doesnt happen again.
What are the working conditions for mechanics?
The shops tend to be not air conditioned, and many of them have various heavy machinery on duty. body shops have paint booths. There are a number of conditions that OSHA regulates.
What was the gauge of sheet metal in 1962 ford thunderbird?
What is more common on the car is kind of a hard question to answer.
Most of the exterior of the car is 20 gauge.
(IE: Quarters, Fenders, Hood, Trunk lid.)
Roof is 18 gauge.
Radiator support: 18 gauge.
Inner Fender aprons: 20 gauge.
Firewall and front and rear floor pans: 18 gauge.
Rear Channel and trunk floors: 20 gauge
Most of the Unibodies frame is 16 guage.
What I would use is a lot easier of a question:
I'd go with 18 gauge for most all my panel repair. (Exterior and Floor pans, etc.) And go with 15-16 gauge for the actual unibodies frame repair.

Is there a center console from any car that will fit your Honda Fit?
Depending on the year the car was built. For the 2007-2008 USDM Honda Fits (GD3), there is a Honda OEM center console with an armrest built in which was only made for the Japanese Fits. These can generally be bought for around $300 and install relatively easily. If you have the 2009 USDM Honda Fit (GE8), then Honda offers a center console with an armrest for Fits equipped with the automatic transmission only. I'm not 100% sure why they are not available for the manual transmission Fits, but I hear that it has something to do with the driver hitting their arm on the console when shifting into 2nd, 4th, and Reverse gears which presents a risk of mis-shifting which can not only be damaging to the synchros in the transmission, but also potentially hazardous at highway speeds. The 2009 Fit Sport has a built in folding armrest in the drivers seat, not a console.

Why would your car floor keep getting wet even though there aren't any visible holes?
Your coffee holder isn't holding your coffee? :-) If it doesn't smell like antifreeze (heatercore leak) then I would be suspect of a plugged drainhole in the wiper transmission cowl area. This time of year leaves will plug it up and water flows in through the firewall area. It would also be good to look behind the glovebox area to see if a harness or hose that may pass through the firewall isn't caulked well enough. Some other suggestions: * I had a car that had a deer run into the driver's door while we were going down the highway. The body shop fixed the door where by looking you couldn't tell it had been hit. But every time it rained the car would get wet inside. They did a bad job aligning the door and it didn't press the door seal tight enough to keep it from leaking. So if the car has been wrecked before you bought it or since you had it your door may not be aligned right or possibly an old door seal. * Could be a leak from a bad windshield seal. Wonder if it could even be condensation leakage from your air conditioner too. * I would say the drain tube on the air conditioner condenser is plugged.in my 2000 grand prix it has plugged with grime several times, causing it to flow into the passenger side floor right under the blower motor. find the tube under the car and blow into it with an air compressor. this will unplugg it.the tube should be right under the condenser in your engine bay. * Check the heater core, and pray that isn't the problem. * When asked to repair a waterleak I like some history on the car. Most waterleaks on used cars are the result of some sort of repair. What has been fixed on your car? If you have a sunroof/moonroof, the drain holes can be clogged. If you have trees or other debris that falls on the car, this is a big problem. The drains should be cleaned a couple times a year. This debris also clogs the drains in the cowl in front of the windshield, causing water to come in the fresh air vent in the heating-air system. This usually causes a leak on just the passenger side.
There is a sensor (usually located on the inside of the door frame) that needs to be pressed in to let the car know that the door is closed.
Try pressing and holding the door shut to see if the dome light turns off. If it does and you let go of the door, then the button is not being engaged. Maybe it is stuck. Use some WD-40 on it.
As for the stuck door, take off the door panel and spray WD-40 on it to make it easier on the door lock mechanism to operate.
What were the stock colors for a 56 Chevy?
There are too many to name, however, your build tag should tell you what color your car came, amonst everything else about it. I cannot, off the top of my head recall the breakdown on the tri 5 Chevies, but, if you contact Year 1, Danchuk, C.A.R.S motorsports, or another of the reproduction companies, they can help you.

What car color goes with maroon?
That is strictly a matter of opinion. A good way of deciding what you like is by taking your car to an upholstery shop and asking them if they have some samples to look at and take them out to you car and look at it. Another way is go to an auto paint and trim shop and ask the same question. It will be your decision and you need to make sure it is right for you. A few suggestions would be black or dark gray, or a shade of red either darker or lighter. These colors compliment the maroon rather than clash or disappear. White looks good on many colors also.
If you are buying a brand new car you are left with what the manufacturer offers but they usually have a good selection of colors.
