    Surprising what turns up at Trash & Treasure markets

    Visited the local T&T market this morning and picked up a small adjustable spanner.

    Made by Garrington but more importantly it had a Jaguar logo on it. Turns out it's from an E Type tool kit so I now need to find an E Type owner who is desperate to own it !

    You're looking at it all wrong.
    You've started a new project. You now have to find/collect the rest of the car.

    I picked up a Rich torque wrench not long ago at the markets,like brand new,still in the box with instructions.

    My main tool i look for are shifters,6 to 12".Never seen one like that but have picked up a lot of good quality brands,Snap on,Cresent,Minimax,etc.

    Don't go near the Chines ones,they are garbage.

    They are the main tool the boys loose.

    i prime them and paint them bright pink nowadays,so they are less likely to get lost,and it seems to work.

    My late BIL restored a 1928 Dodge after picking up a wheel hub cover at a t&t market for $0.50
    The rest of the build cost him considerably more :bigrolf:
