Yeah, me neither. BUT...I did just pick up a trans jack so, hopefully, I will be more inclined to get to work.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one! Of course, Snake has a LOT more going on with his than I do with mine. It's funny to think how many of my "brand new" parts are already 7 years old and I haven't driven this car yet.

One more...

Seriously, though, I've documented all of the progress on this forum so...no, not at all but I am getting the itch with spring right around the corner. Wife's car has a new (used) motor on the way which will get me back to wrenching in the garage and I'm going to try to keep that momentum going.

Lol.

Thanks, Dave!

Damn. That would drive me further than the garage! So, if I pull the trans, how easy to recognize a broken TC snout ?

Vertical, yes. Just worn the f out. No progress on the car due, largely, to trying to start a business. Gotta make $ in order to finish project. Well, now that I've said that, its absolute b-s. I have parts and stuff I could have worked on that require no pennies whatsoever but finding the...

Nothing new. Carry on.

Fo shizzle. Our 2009 VW CC isn't really a big car at all but it is longer and wider than the fish.

It looks so small here where I'm used to seeing either my truck or the wife's VW.

Passable is all I'm shooting for.

Finished painting the door insides. Installed new door seals. Lubed window lifts. Re-mounted pass side mirror with self-locking hardware. Got the door panel, upper panel trim, armrest, base, and handle installed on the drive side. New window whiskers all around. Good day despite the heat.

Wow....those seats are BEAUTIFUL!

Ahh...you bought the cc unit! Okay..so IF I still have that other speedo cable....do you even need it at this point? Though I doubt I do but I only have a few places to look.

Reassembling the inner doors: I was going to use heavy landscaping plastic and 2-sided tape to create the moisture barrier (sometimes called "vapor barrier"). While searching for said plastic, I came across a roll of clear, adhesive plastic used for laminating documents, maps, etc and thought...

Sorry....find what exactly? If you mean the cruise unit....its been gone a long time.

Yeah, no kidding. I do wonder what's up with that, though

Yes, those

Trying to get back on this. Had some dents on the inside of the doors needing a lil bondo, then paint, then install all of the door panels and parts. Driver's door is repaired and painted. Once the paint is cured up, will install the new parts. Will also paint passenger door while waiting...

Slow, if any. I had a problem where the engine would idle fine for about 20 minutes then just stall. Couldn't seem to time it, either, as I could get a good idle but it wouldn't rev. Turns out my manifold heat valve was stuck closed. Well, out it came. Permanently. Had a shop fill the...

Either would be so nice. :(

Hear! Hear!

Another slickback!! Too cool! Nice score. My understanding is that A/C cars got 340 torsion bars to comp for the extra mass of the cooling stuff. I've not heard of any suspension upgrades for 318 cars.

Annual check in

Had a new windshield put in 2 weeks ago. New clips and gasket had been sitting around for over a year. You'll just have to imagine it I guess.

It is awesome. My project has stalled hard. :(

he's just now subscribing to a 3-yr old thread of THIS magnitude?
