What did you do to your VW today?

Sanded part of the roof....

OK, OK,  So I purchased a 2000 Golf TDI. Needed to replace my old Buick.  Never thought that getting  struts, brakes and some dash lights replaced would be such an ordeal @7@.
Got the struts in and,  well maybe do the brakes, Go to the dealer, need the VIN # ( the dealer is in Northfield, and I'm in Tuckerton. I didn't have it with me ??? ...  Soo go home and call with the VIN. Ordered the correct brakes, (this car has four diff app. !fright!) Got the brakes an notice the sway arm bushings are shot.  Call the dealer (have the VIN this time P#3) Has four diff app for bushings....  Got the bushings installed :icon_cheers:.  I also replaced the climate control panel light, (needed to pull apart half the dash to do that, :wallbash:
( Light buld is DIO [Dealer Item Only] ( WTF)Had in stock) Reinstalled the left side of the Dash  ..  Went for a test ride ( All new front end parts)  Drove really nice, But noticed a funny smell....   ??? L/R Brake hanging up... Now what :wallbash:?
Dissembled L/R wheel assy. found alot of corrosiion on the caliper bracket, wire wheeled it up, reassemble, Took for another test ride, P#3   ...  Really Nice....  Smelled something funny...  Now the right side is hanging up...  :wallbash: ( need to do the same thing to it tonight if it does not rain.  Also in the meen time I glued the hinge back on to the glove box door, need to find a lost hinge pin, Guess I'll go to the junk yard for that. Today I'm ordering new  E-brake cables, Might as well I'm there (they both don't look to healthy) I also replaced the shifter boot and ordered a new arm rest.
I know this was not all done (TODAY)  But just thought I would let everybody know where I've been.  (love

PS  Have not had time to touch the Vert. m-d &m& m-d2

Dave, what I did today Isn't even worth mentioning after reading all the chit you went through.

[Yuma]

My speedo blew up, broke the needle end off, looking
for a new ( used ) speedo for the 67 Bug. 
My friend Kenny told me that the cable probably had a kink
in it and snapped the speedo when it unwound. 
Presently running with disconnected cable.  Pacing other
cars on the road.   S@Sm

Wait... why is Nick working on your bus while you are sleeping?

One of the perks of a brother in law looking for something to do. I didn't even know he was going to do it today or I would of gotten out of dream land to help. But I'm sure he was fine I mean I pit in the cup holder all by myself with no help. Wait never mind that's a lie nick put it in at bus depot. I'm pretty sure I unwrapped it though.

[Beetleboi -Greg-]

ROFL I wish my brother in law was helpful that way!!

Got the Brakes to work correctly :icon_cheers:, Ordered the E-Brake cables :icon_thumright:, Drove to work this morning,  Really drove well (love.  Tried to use the Def. Blower, No Fan... :wallbash: :wallbash:  But the panel light works :icon_cheers:.  Must have left the plug undone ???, will dive into it tonight.
Oh, and also Started the Vert.  P#3 and ran it for 20 min.  Still sounds good :icon_thumright:. 
[Rosie said] we "WILL" have it painted before spring :icon_cheesygrin:. So I guess that means it will really happen BO**.
