Couple updates:
Got some liquid stuff. Part of me thinks I just like collecting tools and in love with the build process rather than the car lol. Either way... and Honda bond is the shitttt. I will definitely be using it for various projects on the VW.
Also swapped the track mid pipe to the touring mid pipe on the awe exhaust. Love it. Before, drone was giving me a headache even though I liked the sound. The touring resonator tames it. The volume almost seems the same to me but the drone has been cut down a significant amount. My wife noticed right away when she asked me a question in the car and I immediately answered. She was like yeah it's def quieter in here. I was like how do you know? Her response: "because I didn't have to repeat myself and you answered right away." I might have to put the track pipe back in...
Chris helped me and provided some hospitality for letting me use his garage. Thanks homie.
His car:
Some other random stuff:
I recommend this interior detailer. I used to use 1z cockpit premium exclusively but seems they were bought by some other company and the name changed as well as the formulation. At least I've heard the formulation is a little different. Not sure. Either way I started trying our Griot's stuff and have liked everything they offer. Especially their towels.
Needed a new jack also. My Craftsman jack from 12 years ago still works but is showing some age. I'm a little skeptical about harbor freight but for the price and warranty, everything else I liked was triple the price so I figure I'll try it and see what happens. Reviews on it seem decent. Fingers crossed.
Also, my 12 years old Craftsman creeper took a shit. I got it wet too many times and the cardboard deteriorated on it: now it sags. I'll probably fix it in the future but I still wanted something better that was water/chemical resistant. I realized I have not owned any pliers for some weird reason so got those as well. Lastly, I have been having issues with my rear brake calipers and sway bar end links because they both have nuts you need to hold in between the rubber boots to remove the bolt. All my wrenches are too thick and I'm always worried I'll ruin the rubber boots. Surprisingly they make wrenches that are perfect for that. Very happy with these thin, low profile wrenches. The quality seems real nice. Can't wait to try them out.
