I spot a can of Kroil, I swear that stuff is voodoo black magic in a can. I've removed nuts and bolts that looked like lumps of rust. Leaves the garage stinking to high hell for a day or two, but that's how you know it's good stuff :)

My absolute biggest rule when it comes to disassembly be it aircraft or automotive is Kroil everything and let it soak 45 minutes minimum before starting!

It’s amazing the stuff you can save with it!

Definitely FMIC weather, and the GLI has been spoiling me with vented seats.

Thinking about powder coating the Audi wheels on both cars, so I’m open to suggestions on what’ll look good with Pure Grey.

Definitely bronze for my cars set, but the wife hates “gold” wheels so nothing in that color family for hers.

Anthracite or a Gun Metal on the GLI 👍

Installed a 3" catted down pipe from arm, car sounds subtle but healthy, fixed my fog light wiring, and bought these: get them jul12th!

Today I was thankful I haven't lowered it.

Neighborhood street resurfacing project. Hard to tell in the pic without a banana for scale, but that's a 2"+ lip on the curb. And based on similar city projects around, it'll be this way for the next 2-3 months. Hopefully not coming soon... a "what came in the mail today" post about replacements for bent wheels.

installed osram headlights.. pretty sure I put the car back together perfectly but now I got front assist not available. hoping it goes away in 100 miles but I have bad feeling it won't. there may have been a time I tested the lights functionality by reconnecting the battery for a second without the front assist connected just to make sure they work before I put the car back together because I didn't want to put the car back together and realize there was an issue with the lights. I guess I didn't realize I should have reconnected the front assist at the same time despite the grill not being attached. honestly, who would think to do that? nobody. so I dont blame myself. this is really frustrating though. I hope obdeleven can clear this code, which I was going to order anyway. my car is under warranty but I do not want to bring it to the dealership and they will obviously figure out that I did this when they see my headlights and put 2+2 together and try to charge me due to negligence.
