This is where we are at as of today.
SUPER DUTY
Cab bolted down with 4/6 bolts, cab sways on tigh turns. New $400 silicone bushings been sitting on the shelf for 2 months.
Getting water in the cab somewhere up front by winder shield.
1 reverse light cut into bumper not even wired up.
Reverse camera ground is ziptied to a rusty bolt
No tint yet
Few thousand since I rebuilt trans. Haven't even checked the fluid level or changed filter.
Have to take valve body down and drill bigger hole in plate cause 2nd and 3rd shift break your fucking neck.
No bed liner yet.
Rear wheel wells are still just tucked in, not even screwed in.
Don't even have badges on the fenders.
Dozen more to come.

I’ve got some family party shit. If anyone up this way wants to bring it down, I’ll hand it off.
Well, it's an aunt that I'm not fond of, so.... but I'm supposed to go shooting that day too. GTI as target??
Except for making money. ditch them and come out.
No oil leaks is a great feeling. My blazer’s issue list is just as long as yours but doesn’t leak shit.
Use this:
BUILD - Mook's 2016 E85, Hybrid Turbo, Golf R
Wheel color gonna be way cheaper.
Lowball offers might be accepted, right up your alley
Dr. Jimbo...
Passat - my daily - 300 miles over on oil change and tire rotatio.
Also throwing a weird intermittent error for a front marker light being out...it goes away when the light turns on and works.
Also needs a detail badly, it's filthy from gravel travel due to Scout work.
A6 - about due for an oil change and tire rotation.
LBZ - needs vane position sensor replaced. I may do this today before I go get the Scout.
C10 - needs trans stuck back in, exhaust finished and fresh gas then I can finish tuning it and of the market hols get it sold this coming spring.
Scout - needs exhaust, carpet, tuning and this winter finish the rust repair at the rear of the cargo floor.

So what are you going to do after you knock all this out before lunch?
So the left rear wheel on the Tahoe has been getting full of brake dust real quick like the pads are dragging. This has been happening for over a year. Finally decided that today was the day to take a look at it. Ended up replacing the caliper and brake hose. The caliper wasn’t seized but the bleeding screw stripped out so fuck it.
Any way the pads had around 15k on then and the left side is pretty low on material because it was always dragging but fuck it. Left them on and will use until it’s metal on metal.

Not proud of this but my daily 2005 Saab was misfiring under load . I changed the plugs some 5-6 years ago . Thought I had a bad coil but man the plugs were shit . New set of 4 and we are good to go !
