What did you do in your garage today..?

On another topic, is there a Canadian equivalent to Rock Auto? Not sure why I will do repairs on my m/c take brake calipers apart etc but not on the car. The front brakes will need to be replaced soon. Mods please feel free to move if this is the wrong thread for this. Thanks
I have had excellent service/price from Partsavatar. I've sent them my caliper cores as well.
 
Sunday I started putting my spare Kat back together.
The gas tank has been off for about a year and a half, and pre-install scan found a fair bit a surface rust inside. A.I. tells me that soaking it in vinegar and salt (1 cup of salt per litre of vinegar) for a couple days will remove the rust. I'm skeptical since salt causes rust, but it assures me that it accelerates the rust on the surface to dissolve it, and won't cause any further damage as long as I rinse it well with water, then alcohol to evaporate the water.
Anyone tried, or heard of this before?
 
If you order by 2pm, stuff usually shows up next day.....

Wow, where have I been. Those 3 have great web sites and choices for my vehicle. Thanks!

I have ordered from autopartsway, parts avatar, the wrench monkey auto parts and maybe a few other canadian sites. They normally cost more than rock auto sadly. If they're close in price and have what I need, I try to buy from a canadian source. IIRC, my issues in the past have been many of the canadian sources had less stock. When looking for brake parts, I may add rear discs and pads and front pads to cart and then find out they are missing front brake discs. I don't want to order from two sites to get one job done.
 
Finished two new Garaga doors installed. About 15 years overdue.
