I've seen some terrible attempts at repairs and home-made modifications etc to 300zxs, but outside of the car-ring, this is probably the funniest thing I've come across.

 

I was sat at the end of Myrtle Avenue near Heathrow watching the planes land before going there to pick up a friend. As I was sat watching what was incoming, I noticed this green gate thing to my right. It had all manner of clumsy welding on it. Just as I was about to glance back over at the undercarriage of an approaching 747, something caught my eye. A shape....a shape of something I recognised, but it didn't compute as it was where it shouldn't have been. Then I realised what it was and why it was there!

 

Yes, that IS a brake pad, it's been welded to the frame to make it stronger! You could called it 'ingenous'. I call it low brow as I saw the state of the rest of the welding on this gate.

 

Well, it had me chuckling anyway!

When doing maintenance for a well known Irish run no frill airline, one of the tertiary beams had been damaged and to cover it up, whoever had done it had filled it with some sort of putty and painted over it !

 

After working for them I have made sure NO ONE I know flies with them !

Even the repairs that are approved are shocking !

I once got asked by my football manager if I had and fuse wire as the changing room power had blew. when I asked what size he needed his reply was I don't know it had a nail in it but it's blew the nail lol

 

PMSL - makes you wonder what was actually wrong with the circuit to do that....:rofl:

If It had been a circuit it wouldn't have been to bad he then proceed to bring me the fuse carrier it was the main fuse not much I could use right enough even if I knew what the problem was haha

Perhaps he was asked to weld up on the gate a stop sign.lol

I was called into a school many moon's ago to repair a Projector ceiling mount that had come loose!....but there were no bolts, screws or anything fixings into the concrete above the ceiling tiles?...a closer inspection and a little tug and the whole thing came away in my hand, it had been glued up with mastic!

 

Those little darlings sitting underneath the projector never knew how close they came to wearing one!:sweatdrop:

I like that!!!:pint:

not really a bodge repair but funniest thing ever was in the first dealer I worked in - we were Fiat/Lancia and also FSO if anyone remembers those!

 

We had a brand new FSO pickup that my mate was doing a PDI on - rattle noticed from the rear. I sat in the back as he drove it around the yard & noise coming from under the pickup floor

 

removed the floor & found about 3 Polish beer bottles in the chassis rattling around!! :pint::rofl:

PMSL - sounds like the old stories about British Leyland workers leaving their sandwiches inside some of the cars they built (whilst not on strike) in the 1970s......:rofl:
