I got mine from a local shop (Only $40 for the fronts). However you can find them at germanautoparts.com, ecsutning.com, autotech.com, ect.

Started my H2oi 2013 prep seeing as how I couldn't go this year.

**BeetleGpx** · 09-30-2012 08:25 PM

Put in new door seal rubber and picked up this:

Too bad it's a UK mag, but it gives me ideas.

**2a2gtis** · 09-30-2012 08:57 PM

**Lulzmaster** · 10-02-2012 01:31 AM

Drove it to school and to a meeting for work, spent the whole time saying "I can't wait til I get that new spindle, my G60 mounts, and an alignment" over and over and over.

SOON.

It's back to a daily driver

**RobMarkToo** · 10-04-2012 08:09 PM

Washed and waxed for the first time in a few months. Tiring but worth it, only if I get to show off a little

Just bought another 8valve engine to rebuild and swap in. Got this from an Mk1 jetta for a whopping 20 bucks!

**DocWalt** · 10-05-2012 12:11 AM

Tore the engine bay apart

During removal of the downpipe 5 studs broke off in the exhaust manifold, so I started into removing the exhaust manifold... I got the intake off with no issues and also got the top row of exhaust manifold nuts out no problem. I managed to destroy the two center nuts on the bottom row of studs. Going to take a dremel to the nuts and remove them to take my manifold off tomorrow. My brother is planning on dropping a spare 16v manifold off at our local machine shop to have the broken studs in that manifold removed. At least it should all go back together smoothly with brand new hardware, lol

Pic from the other day:

Anyone want to trade OEM euros + a bit of cash for my Hella smoked tails? I need "normal" taillights to pass inspection.

**buckley!** · 10-05-2012 03:08 PM

Just black shoe dye'd the hell out of my trim. Thanks, everyone that suggested that trick, it's looking crazy good now. Should have known to do this before H2O

**choochoo** · 10-05-2012 03:25 PM

Drove it for the first time in a couple weeks.

Drove it to the market, then decided to go for a 20 minute drive to "charge up the battery".

Saw the forecast for today, 85°. Drove it to work

**jseeley** · 10-05-2012 08:12 PM
