For my Internship Project I decided that I decided that something that would be beneficial to the company was to organize their parts drawers and shelves, i wanted to do this becasue while i have been working at lucra if i was told to go find a certain time of nut or bolt or if i even saw someone looking for a certain time of bolt it would take a pretty long time to find what you needed and its exact size, so i thought that i would be a good idea to go to the most used shelves and organize them and put the right parts where they are supposed to be as well as making labels on each of the bins so that you can easily walk up to the shelve and find the correct bin easily instead of having to dig through a bunch of bags or eyeballing something and hoping that it fits.
this process was a very teadius task for me because i had to make sure that where each bin was labeled it had all of the correct parts inside of it, on top of that if there were just raw bolts or nuts or screws laying in the bin i had to find out what they were called and what size they were so that i could correctly name them and put them where they belong.

this internship at lucra has really shown me what the everyday life of working in a car shop is like. Before going into this internship I had little experience with hands on working on cars and using different tools, or even what it was like to work everyday in a shop with other people but after four weeks straight i have gained so much knowledge about it and it has really made me think even more about taking automotive technologies classes in college and maybe even trying to get a degree in engineering,
I am still not certain if I would want to work on just cars or if i would like to maybe even branch out with mechanical engineering and seeing what other jobs look like that are in the same type of trade. one thing that is for sure though is that I definitely do want to go to college and take some sort of engineering class whether it is mechanical engineering or just automotive tech. if I ultimately do decide on joining a branch of the military I would definitely think about joining and doing an engineering job in it. Working at Lucra has been an eye opening experience for me and I will always remember it Through out my time working at lucra I have been tasked with multiple different tasks/jobs around the shop and most of them involved on doing various things to various cars while other things that i did (while there was nothing to work on) was clean up the shop, the images below are some of the cars that I had worked on. In this Picture It shows the Sun Beam tiger that i helped wet sand and buff the new paint job and started to put on the hood, doors, trunk, and the chrome trip around the sides. The car has been in the paint booth for about 4 weeks now and was finally finished and ready for work. This picture shows when I put the right side door back onto the car and started to install the window mechanism and door latch system inside of the door. This is a picture i took after i was done helping with cleaning up the engine bay and seeing if all of the correct wires and tubes were hooked up in the correct places. When the car was finally out of the paint booth we pushed it out into the main portion of the shop where we were to start working on the interior and wiring. This is an after picture of when the chrome bumpers and grill were installed as well as headlight housing and headlights. Here is another after photo of the rear bumper and tail lights and luggage rack installed. This picture was taken right after i had uninstalled the radiator heat-sink and fan from a land rover defender so we could fix leaks and replace some components These photos are before and after photos of when we got done painting the main frame of a defender and when we finally got the engine ready to be installed and when it finally got installed and was on the lift so we could start to work on the break lines. This is a 110 cm frame of a land rover defender that we finally got back into the shop after we had sent it to go get sand blasted and re-welded Here is a photo of what one half of the shop looks like and what cars were and are in it today and what we have been working little by little on. since the Sun Beam was moved out of the paint booth the owner of the Lamborghini who is also a very rich pilot sent in his plane to get re painted which will be started very soon. Those were just a few of the many projects that i have worked on in the past 3 weeks. This is the jensen interceptor that was built for and used in the Fast and Furious 6 movie. This is the new motor that will soon be going into the Lamborghini countach
