So, my grandad is working on restoring this. I know literally nothing about working on cars, is it worth me helping him out working on this to learn a bit?
>>
Absolutely if you want to learn.
>>
>>13979639
Yes. When he dies you will get the car.
BTW: that's a fucking great car - Spitfire MkIV/1500

>>13979639
British garages are so shit!
How are you supposed to work on your car!
You cant even open the fucking doors without hitting the walls.

What an absolute waste of time.

You've been watching Grand Torino too much son.

>>13979654
You take it out of the garage?

>>13979645
Knew it was a Spitfire, but literally that's all I know about the thing. I should probably go help out over the winter, see if we can get it ready for spring.

You get a double garage.

What's the average cost of a house with a double garage.
Excluding wales, Scotland and the north because no on wants to live there.

>>13979639
It will definitely help you learning how to wrench on cars.
Small things like eyeballing a bolt size so you know what wrench/socket to get, identifying common components, getting used to tightening large parts with lots of bolts with the right pattern so they don't bend/warp/jam (like heads or valve covers for example), being familiar with the various kinds of gaskets or getting used to common tools is something you only learn with practice.
You probably won't learn much about how things work if you don't do some research yourself, but you will definitely start learning your way around tools, parts and bolts.

Go for it and have fun

>>13979654
Well you could start by calling it a car port and not a garage
>>
>>13983332
Car port doesn't have a door you faggot.

Which is even more useless than a tiny fuck box of a garage.

You don't buy a house unless you live in Scotland, Wales or the North.

So it's only worth spending quality time with your grandfather if you get something out of it? This is fucked.
>>
>>13987591
You can get in just fine. Remember that brits have right hand drive.
>>
>>13979654
the sad truth is that most garages I see are filled with boxes and are just used as extra storage space.
