I got a couple Christmas photos like that somewhere, and the before the kids get up shot with the old man hitting the coffee hard...

My big girl helps me with stuff but that about where the interest ends. My little one is more about dance etc...

I do try to get them involved at least enough so they know the diff between a capcitor and resistor, and tubes of course.

as a science project with my little one I made a cap out of some packing tape and alum foil, rolled it up and everything (prob could sell to the audiophools), tested as about a .006 on the cap tester.

There is a fine line between getting them involved and taking over (which I tend to do). My Dad did it great, he would let me fail repeatedly without jumping in to save the day, you learn far more from mistakes, but it can be unnerving for the parent.

Reece, I can relate to that pic, for me it was beanie babbies...

My repair room (former single car garage) has temporarily become a bedroom. I put in a dividing wall to make a second small room which I haven't finished. As yu can see in the last picture, the front parlor has become my office, workspace and general depository. Yes, it is messier than normal in this photo, but only slightly.

...Air raid sirens heh heh heh heh.

Charles, did you ever get the engine and tranny out of the half cut installed into a body? We're starting to get 1995 JDM RHD vehicles here now, but they regulate the hell out of 'em now.

Not yet... I decided to keep that one as a spare for the two trucks that I already converted to 2LII-T and a 3L. If I convert my newest truck; an '05 Tacoma 4-door, I'd get a 2KD-FTV commonrail engine. Who knows though; I could change my mind if a nice 90s Toyota 4x4 comes my way with a good body & bad engine.
