What did you do to your volkswagen today?

Plasti Dipped the Jetta and installed coilovers

Got heat working in the bus for first time in 3 winters. [New cables, nuts, etc] Happy warm feet! 

Rebuilding the front suspension on my 72 with topline stuff, and made me a dual caliper set-up.  I needed to test out my new welder, and this was the only thing I could think of to test it on :I   Normally the tierod would interfere with the caliper, but since I already flipped them with flip it bushings, it wasn't an issue

Those calipers are sick!

Thanks.  I just hope my master cylinder can push enough fluid to all 6 calipers.  The stock one seemed to work fine for 4 calipers, so the bigger one should be ok for 6.  I even got some of those braided stainless steel teflon hoses, so no rubber hose expansion.  But I guess ill find out soon if it works, XD

ok? why do you need 2 calipers per wheel

I hit and drug a possum in the front beam of the SP2.  
Finally had to stop and back up to get it out.  
That's a great sound.

why spend $1300 on a 4 piston kit, when I can make the same for less then half the cost, XD.  And I sometimes pull a pop up that has a weird torsion arm suspension, that can't have brakes added, and could use a little extra stopping power .  Plus I've always had the idea, so figured this was a good time to go for it.  If it doesn't work, or I have problems, all I gotta do is just yank off a caliper, and change the lines.  nothing wasted cept for an hour of welding.  I can always use the calipers for one of my many other projects  

fixed the starter, tuned the carbs and drove the shit out of it.

cool , let me know how it works

did a tune up on the flying turd

I got the wifes a6 avant running. And the square is running pretty strong too.

Installed new German FTE master cylinder and bled brakes, then drove it. Works so much better than before!

Finally brought it home after installing brand new heater components and converting it to a dual circuit master cylinder.

Fixed my brakes- bled and everything! (Been waaaaay overdue) Really want to cruise on this beautiful day, but gotta go back to the paintshop.

Stripped, Straightened, and Primed front and rear bumpers for my bus.

Got the Ghia pan almost ready to put the body back on. A BIG thank you to Clyde and Wilson for giving me much of their weekend to get this done.

Pulled Leons engine apart....again....  

Made a stool for the bus.

Pulled the 60 out of the paint booth, cleared her sunday. Just put all the bumpers/lights back on, shes so shiny  

Installed a new Theromstat, Coolant temp sensor, Therom fan switch and a radiator hose on the Rabbit.

Took the wiper assembely out of the 60 took it apart, cleaned it and installed it. i now have working 6v wipers!

Finally got an alignment on the Squareback

Who did you get to do the alignment?  Tina is needing an alignment too.

I went to Lilburn Auto on Lawrenceville Hwy- we send them about 8 or 10 vehicles a week to alignment- they even adjusted the rear so the car tracks straight- I can let go of the steering wheel now and the car doesn't pull to either side, and it seems to ride and handle better-
