They tend to bring something of their own. What will distinguish them from the rest. But what if you do not want to buy what you want in the store? There is only one way out: you can not buy - do it yourself.

Self-made cars for cars with their own hands have becomerecently very popular. They improve the appearance of the machine, change some technical characteristics or add nice additions to the options. Among all the variety of possible modifications we suggest to consider several options.

Car wash

Let's start, perhaps, with the appearance.When the car is clean, its paint and varnish shines and sparkles. It's nice to look at this technique. Immediately there is a feeling that the owner is watching his car. But to ride in a car wash is not always obtained for various reasons. In such cases, self-help for the car will come to the rescue. With your hands, you can collect a small sink, which you can use at any convenient time.

The following details are required for the manufacture of a sink:

• canister with two sinks;
• hose length of 2 m (suitable as for connecting a washing machine);
• watering gun with telescopic rod;
• choke;
• a slide valve;
• rubber gasket (outer diameter 2.4 cm, inner diameter 1.5 cm);
• coupling.

And now proceed:

1. In the canister lid, make a hole. "Zolotnik" plaster sealant and insert into the prepared hole of the lid. We let it dry.
2. In the second lid, make a small hole with a feather drill. It is necessary for the coupling. The joint of the lid and the coupling is treated with a sealant and also allowed to dry.
3. С изогнутого конца наливного шланга срезаем гайку with fastening. The mount is no longer needed. On the nut, apply the sealant and attach it to the back of the coupling. The hose with the cut side is connected with the nut of the quick-release fitting. Then the main choke is twisted, which also connects to the watering gun.
4. From the second side of the hose we insert a rubber gasket into the nut. This will protect the system from air penetration. After that, the nut is screwed on the quick coupling.

At this point, the process of making homemade car accessories with your own hands is completed.

Padding of seats

To update the cabin can also be usefulhomemade. Useful devices and crafts for cars allow you to replace worn parts, add interior lighting and do much more. Consider the option to upgrade the seat.

This will require a cloth.You can choose two colors - for the central part of the seats, beige leather will suit the back of the back (it will take about 4 m), and everything else will be black. Black skin needs about 3.5 m. All fabric needs to be duplicated (glued) with a layer of foam rubber of 0.5 cm. Foam rubber is glued with flizelin using an iron. Due to this, it will be easier to work with him.

With the seats removed (so convenient), remove the covers.We separate their parts. In order not to get confused, we transfer everything to paper. Also on paper it is necessary to note the attachment points of the spokes (they are on the back of the covers). The spokes themselves will then be inserted into the new covers.

Next, parse the casing into separate parts.(dissolve the seams). Patterns of necessary elements turn out. Lay them out on the wrong side of the fabric (with the wrong side up, so that the details are not mirrored) on thick paper (you can on the wallpaper) and circle around the perimeter. Along the edges leave the allowances of 1 cm, which will go to the seams. Then all the patterns are cut and stitched (starting from the center). On the reverse side of any fabric do pockets where needles are inserted.

Combining all the details, we get new covers. This process is done alternately for all seats. Having made such interesting and useful homemade products for a car with their own hands, You can update the salon without contacting the service.

Preparing the material for the ceiling, you need to remember one important point: on the wrong side it should have a small layer of foam rubber. Glue the fabric with heat-resistant glue. When the glue dries, the panel can be installed back on the ceiling. Do it in reverse order.

"Angel Eyes"

It is quite possible to assemble electronic useful homemade products for cars with your own hands. For example, "Angel Eyes" will update the headlights of any car. For their manufacture will need:

• plastic transparent sticks (possible from the blinds);
• resistors (220 ohms);
• battery (9 V);
• LEDs (3.5 V).

The process looks like this:

1. On any metal can, the same in diameter with the headlights, we twist a ring of plastic sticks with pliers. For this, it is heated a little.
2. Next, connect a pair of LED and a resistor. Their performance is checked with a battery.
3. Connect another LED to it.
