What did you do to your cabby today?

[BIGDAVE1050]

I replaced both side view mirrors glass. The old ones had wierd brown waves along the edges.

Blue one Nothing but drive it...... my Green one had to have the Alternator replaced last week. took longer to get the warranty Alt and have it tested from the "auto jobber" than to remove and replace the old one.

On a side note, getting it tested at the autojobber of choice, is a good thing, as they can print out the test or display it, and you can jot down the voltage and amperage of the new unit. So that when you place it on your car and start it after, you can measure the voltage to the battery to determine how bad your cables are.

Made my interior quiet

Took apart dash, found a bunch of missing screws and replaced them.

Cleaned every switch button and controls while i had the dash apart. Looks 100 times better

[08jettas]

Still polishing my wheels . And doing alittle paint work around the "p" s on the rims !!

[Stashm2]

Today I got new tires for my used 97 Jetta Rims and put them all on my car looks much better than the ghetto 17's and Gave it new front shocks and springs :-) Set camber per a thread here seemed to work well. New rears should be here on monday! Drives like a new car with these wheels.





And I missed Rodrigas My 92 Mexican Jetta may it live on in other VW's some where out there.

[vwcrackerjack]

Planning to start my electrical revamp of the dash and lights. Also doing the front brakes strut bearings and front wheel bearings. Have all the parts just have no time. I'll post up pics when I start

[AlexMBM]

[CajunSpike]

92 Cabby was running bad and had idle surges. Replaced idle control valve. Found much valve cover leaks...replaced with rubber valve cover from germanautoparts. found main big air tube practically disconnected from air box. Still have to fix exhaust gasket leaks from head to manifold.

Post up some pics of it. :-)

[KFo86]

changed my gear oil, cleaned up my battery terminals. And did a little touch up job on some rough spots in my paint.

[cab89]

The alloy wheels (actually the clear coating) were dull and nasty. I cleaned them today with brillo pads, then used #400 wet sandpaper on them, cleaned and dried them, then sprayed them with 3coats of a high quality gloss clear paint (Valspar). I didn't even take them off the car, I just masked the tires. The wheels look brand new now and it was totally simple. When the paint cures, I plan to put a silicone spray type auto finish coating on them so the brake dust won't stick.
That went so fast and well, I then attacked the famous left leg leak by messing with the top, adjusting, and re-doing the silicone sealent areas. We will see.

[CajunSpike]

Removed damaged top radiator support from 99 cabrio. Found wires to passenger side headlight cut and gone. installed new battery.

[Stashm2]

Cleaned up rear Springs and resprayed with epoxy paint as well as the upper spring seats.. Made new flanges for the lower spring seats as the originals were gone and the KYB's did not fit my new struts... Ordered new engine mounts all around.. New oilpump and windage tray are next on the list. Then fixing windsheild rust... and touching up paint. Should get the rear Struts in tonight (they are in and what a difference that made!).

[p0ssuid0]

Bought a set of Saw-Blades, 16"x9.5" all around, for my mk3.5! A bargain (considering that I live in Europe, and the Corvette C4 wasn't sold in here, eheh)

[dougkehl]

Made a whole new wiring harness with relays for my new quad grille! and started cleaning my wheels so they look nice for when the car comes out of paint!

[QA2]

Pulled the dash to change the vacuum servo. Going back in with the dash today after I trace the charge light wire to find the short.

I will figure out how to post pic's later, out to continue on the job.

Buddy of mine in Obernzenn had them in his basement, traded him some Golf 3 GTI reds straight up. I'm going to try to make some bases for them tomorrow while I look for a legit power set from a Jetta.

I think they're originally out of an E30.

Edit: From a 911. 993 series.
