What did you do to your car today?

Post by scubagli »

I couldn't find a thread like this here, if there is one please let me know. Just a place for non project car stuff. Anyway I did this yesterday.

That's pretty cool - how did it turn out compared to something like a vinyl wrap? All in one day too so prep and application must be pretty quick.

It turned out ok, I'm going to peel it and redo it, made some mistakes and also knocked over a gallon of color so it's spotty in areas.

Took my dad for a ride for the first time in the 200 which he hadn't seen since I picked it up and took him for a ride with it chipped 8 years ago.

He giggled. Worth it.

Found both front caliper carriers on the cabriolet had 1 seized slide pin each. That explains the brakes sucking. Proceeded to remove one seized pin but broke off the other...

Off to the junkyard today.

Replaced my IAC sensor, and put on a real weather pack pigtail. Works well again.

walked out in the garage. Looked at the car for about 30 seconds, grabbed some tools, and went to work on the GF's E30

Put a thermostat in my b6, I thought an mkIV Gti was a pain....also removed rear muffler on the v8, sounds pretty good, it will do until I can build an exhaust.
