What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Riptide09]

I do all of mine myself. Most shops around here charge anywhere from 75 to 150 per corner.

Honestly suspension on these cars is extremely easy to work on. Just watch a few tutorials and grab a few buddies couple cases of beer and you can have them done in several hours. I did all 4 corners on mine by myself in about an hour.

That is true. With an experienced buddy we installed my coilovers in 3 hours or so without a single issue.

Without quoting you guys and the gigantic pics, did you do the spring installs yourself or shop? How much did install cost...just trying to get a ballpark.

Did it on my own with a buddy. Read some guides and do it on your own.

Steel oil pan install + obvious oil change.

Packaged up another sample for Blackstone labs.

Getting ready for a bod suspension diy once i get the time in a month or so.

Going to try to do springs, rsb, endlinks, superpro fca and fsb bushings, dead set kit and oem skid tray, and then take it to get an alignment, all in one weekend.

Is it easy to empty the oil out of the extractor pump?

Thorough wash followed by iron-x and claybar session. There are no embedded iron deposits in the paint nor on top of it! As pure white as a snowflake.
Gtechniq Exo v2 is still holding up nicely after one year.

Super easy. Mine can dispense it if I want but there is a opening that lets you pour it out. First time I used it and it got slightly over 5L out. Pretty happy a about that.

I just clayed mine for the first time since I purchased it in November, followed by a sealing using Jet Seal by chemical guys, followed by wax. Waiting on the was to dry. Ughhhh I'm so pleased I'm almost done.

I planned on doing Iron x soon. But figured I could spray in dirty car, let it sit, then wash it normally?

I iron x my wheels every time and every other wash spray iron x and areas I feel attract iron (around wheel wells, rear hatch) spray when dirty, don't think it makes a difference which order but I'd rather do iron x before wash

Last night i wrapped the roof with a buddy of mine. Didn't come out half bad since i haven't messed with vinyl in 15 years and my help had no experience.

What size sheet of vinyl and where did you get it?

Clay barred, sealed with Chemical Guys Jet Seal sealant, then waxed with Chemical Guys Petes '53 Carnauba Wax. Tiring but I'm very pleased with the outcome.
