This week I made a ghetto lip, a center consol (currently waiting for glass to dry) and am recovering the side bolster of my seat with black vinyl (myself).
I also pulled all restricotrs from the DPFI intake and ordered front and rear strut bars, made some deals for MPFI swap parts, and found several ways to get a better turbo manifold. I even talked a guy down to $30 for a set of working 93 TSi injectors.
All while working a record amount (for school and part time job) and getting $$$ to buy some KYB AGX's with H&R street springs (anybody got a pics of HBs lowered about 1"and 2").
I guess I am just happy that everything is starting to come together

take pride in it! i love the feeling i get when i tell people i did something myself.
wait until you start pulling apart your suspension....after that is done, suddenly nothing on that car will seem hard to do.
good job...keep up the wrenching and never be afraid to ask. :D

Good Times. I installed my Sparco Harness today. It was like 100* outside and I was sweating my ass off, it was kind of annoying to do cuz it's hard to adjust that crap.

Even worse than suspension: try reupholstering a seat by hand. I wish my mom had a sewing machine, it hurts to type :P But it will look real cool when I'm done!

I got half the side bolster done (only took 3 hrs) and it looks schweet! I cant wait to get the rest done, I got my grandma to lend me her sewing machine so it should go faster from then [when I get it] on!
