Hell, it's open enough I would try vice grips and a length of pipe.  If it slips, grind flats and try again

Oh, I have wheel lock removal tools, that is no problem.  It's just that customers tend to get peeved when you do unauthorized work on their cars.

Imagine wae getting his Mercedes back from its Diesel related emissions recall and them saying "oh BTW your turbo was munged so we replaced it, $4600 plz"

 

About as likely as "oh BTW your turbo was munged, so we took it off LOL"

How did we get from an errant wheel lock on a Honda Civic to a turbo on a Mercedes? Wait, is there a wheel lock on the turbo? wink

This is what I want to do.  I want to put together a team of people that can make something like that a reality.  I know I can do the metalwork side.  I need someone to do all the 3D printing and trimming work that that would be required for the interior.  And then obviously someone who knows how to get completely custom curved glass made.  

Things like that, or a 2 door 2023 WRX type builds.    I'm tired of all these amazing renderings and people going "Someone should build that"..  I want to be "Someone"
