Think I fixed it?

Did you zip tie to the specifications?
He got the Torque Zips
I counted 16 x 200lb tie wraps = 3200 lbs. This is genius - you could support the entire car with these And they will never corrode like the cheap inferior OEM steel.
TBF that would probably hold up enough to get it to the shop
I mean.... looks like it did.
There is new….and then there is better than new!!!
Come on bro that’s not gonna fix it… you have to add some duck tape if you want a proper fix.
Superb work if I say so myself!
Everything looks great! Just be sure to perform the tug test, and you’ll be all set!
Na man, you need to jbweld those zip ties together.
Who do you think you are McGyver?
Send it!
Perfect shitty mechanic work. Well done! 🫡
That's just barely enough to get down the road to a stealership and be told that you need a new one. Add about 5 more and you'll be good for a year or more if you avoid major potholes. Your choice
Did you tap it a few times and say "yup, thats not going anywhere". Cause if you didnt then its not fixed
Praying to the ziptie gods …
That'll do.
Looks about right
This made me laugh out loud
thats fine craftsmanship. can i hire you?
Currently I’m strapped, so yeah
That’ll due pig
“That ain’t going anywhere” unfortunately quickly followed up by “that ain’t going anywhere” after the wheel, axel, and/or entire undercarriage falls off.
Sad. A professional would have trimmed the tails. Have some pride in your work!
Nah needs some flex seal
No duct tape?
Shit, it almost looks stock bro
Zip ties - ✅
Duct tape - ❌
Effort - ❌
WD40 - ❌
are you even trying? 100% not American
I real American would have shot the axle with a 12g to keep it in check.
Missing ratchet straps. Amateur Hour. tsk.
Cue MacGyver theme.
Cant fail, good to go.
That ain't goin' anywhere
Should've used steel zip ties and zipped upto spec 🫠
I would have levelled up by braiding the zip ties. But you did good.
Nice
Personally I would’ve put some duct tape…just to make sure it remains strong.
That will holdem together
Your forgot the ratchet strap jr
Kudos! That's a quality job. I love seeing the results of real craftsmanship. It's way too rare nowadays/
I mean if it gets the car to a shop to do a proper fix I guess?
Fixed?!?! All I see here is a big piece of German-like over engineering. You’re golden boss
That is affirmative, Ghost Rider.
Fucking Genius level! Do they have a YouTube channel?
Now spray those with a slurry of JB Weld and you’re good
Looks like that brake line has some dry rot.
We call those laugh lines
Zippys garage.
You what?
Mekanic
Derek Bieri, is that you? Run out of duct tape?
MORE!!
I give it 10 minutes on the road.
I feel safe !!
insert flex seal here
Id go a few wraps of tie wire, zip ties are good for now but you need a more permanent fix
Send it.
Dude, get some rebar wire wire.
Zipping is good enough for my jeans then zip ties are good enough for my car. The logic is flawless.
Bungie cords or tow straps would last a little longer! Duct Tape also a much better option! Look for the rolls of flex tape!
Definitely is different
I had a72'
Yeah, just put some super glue on the zip ties and it’ll last 50k miles
(Goes 1 mile down the road everything snaps and ripped from the zip ties 💀)
That's sure to give your car some more zip!
That's pretty cool
Those zip ties are worth more than that car!!
That should hold
Be it duct tape, zip ties, or baling wire, fixed is fixed.
As long as it survives a hard slap on the hood while saying “that baby ain’t goin nowhere” you’re good
I'm so glad I didn't have to scroll for this comment.
Cant duct it fuck it
