I had all mine, learn doing
oil changes, filters, fuel & air, even doing universals
my 2 oldest girls were into 4x4s, SR5 Toyotas & Jeeps too
then doing lubes & tires rotations at a min.
I'd tell them how to do repairs & help a bit, with tight bolts etc.
but they'd change batteries & belts too...
with a lil' guidance
I'd test them too
what's that; a carb
what's that; an alternator
what's that; a distributor, cap & rotor
what's that; an exhaust manifold
My uncle Tink & Aunt Anne, may they rest in peace
had a cool shot of 'me in a drain pan' (I was a mess),
I was we lil' dude like 3-4
underneath the car out in the garage/shop on his ranch/farm
as my uncle/s was doing oil changes on his, 58 DeSoto Adventurer, hemi
In my family as a kid, we had to learn it all, basics really
my dad wasn't a great mechanic, my stepdad Bob & several uncles were
We did it, had to, just to be able to get our license/s
I figured I'd pass on that tradition, it's very helpful in later life
I need to convert some slides to digital photos
I have a few with the girls & my nephew or son
I'd like to have saved & be able to see/share with out a projector...
