(b) My mentor Paul Munoz has done great with giving him hands on experience, I feel comfortable working on his car because he does not mined when I make mistakes. Ive messed up a few times like ruined his caliber but he didn't mined, if it was another persons vehicle I would have felt awful.
(c) Yes, and it is located on the right side of my blog
(d) Its been a rough rode with my mentors car because we expected it to be done last year around November, it obvious that were behind schedule. A majority of the time was replacing the new engine he bought, it was interesting to see the transmission sitting on the left side of the engine. It was also tedious work when it came to pugging bag all the hoses and sensors back into the engine. We also did work on the paint job and breaks to.
INTERPRETIVE
I had no idea how much work it took when it comes to refurbishing a car. When he first got it I was excited to get my hands dirty and take it apart which we did for my summer mentor ship hours. For my independent component hours it took us a while to get the new engine, because of money issues. In order to not waste time, and my mentor wanted to keep me busy, we decided to give the car it primer. Sanding down the car's old paint then applying the cars first coat of primer. When this was done it was obvious that the car was going to look GOOD! We had no intentions of putting the final coats because we want to do that when the cars engine is all done, to prevent any scratching. When we got the engine finally form a company called "MoshiMoshi" we had the task of replacing the messed up engine with a new one. . . . .again. Half way threw the job my mentor noticed he needed more parts for the mortification he wants to achieve. The parts require a certain air pump with special tools needed for installation. I am not quite sure exactly what else he needs until I go see him again. So the engine is only half way done, until we get the parts and money to finish up what we started. As that was on hold I got to work on the breaks, which I did my first mistake in ruining his threads. It was not bad because the part was going to be replaced for a high performance one either way. Independent component ought to be exciting, Hopefully we can have that car running on its own, because when its done my mentor is going to teach me how to drive it; its a stick shift.
Applied:
This component helped me understand my topic by giving me precious experience on subject I have only read on my research check. For instance I have red a lot about a cars suspension and all it components it comprised of. I have not only worked on the shocks and spring but also the disk break and axels. Ive always new and read how a engine works but actually taking apart the engine and seeing all its components like, pistons, camshafts , and exhaust ports was amazing.
This would be my mentor, we took out the old engine to drain its fluids.
When I had the chance to change the breaks, the break caliber is located on the right side of the picture.
Replaced disk break, It is easy to tell were it is located because it is shiny unlike the rest of the cars suspension and break components.
