    I have some old work pants I wear, paired with one of a designated few old tshirts or nasty old hoodie when cold. I also keep a pair of beat up shoes that I wear, and gloves of some sort.

      Nothin'...nothin' at all. Clothes worth more than the E30...remember this is R3V! ;-)

        I have two sets of Dickies work shirts and pants. I also wear long socks because somehow I end up with brake dust and road grime in the weirdest places.

          Texas here.... so unless I am lifting something like a complete motor or subframe (wear jeans and boots for extra protection) usually just in basketball shorts, t-shirt, running shoes, mechanix gloves and safety glasses. If its greasy work then will put on nitrile gloves just to complete that task.

          This may sound crazy but the four pack of t-shirts at WMart for $6 are soo cheap I treat them as disposable after a couple super dirty projects that get them all stained.

            My roommate and I wear old Marine Corps flight suits, teamed with my very well worn combat boots.

            Keeps my whole body clean (for the most part), only downside is the intense wedgie when you are sliding out from under the vehicle feet first.

              jeans or whatever, but i always wear old work shirts, especially these hideous shirts i use to wear when i worked at six flags SF in vallejo, there highlighter yellow so i like to think it makes it easier for cars on the road to see me and not run me down.

                          Issued coveralls and mechanix gloves or nitrile if shits getting wet. Spend a lifetime with used fluids soaking into your hands and chances are you'll end up regretting it, play safe kiddies.
