So I had one hell of a weekend. :)

 

Friday night I ran to harbor freight after work to pick up some suction cups to make a camera mount for the car:

 

Then the thermostat in the bimmer decided to get stuck and was overheating when we were driving out to take some video. Russ did 100+ on the way back to the shop without the cameras falling off :wink:

 

Saturday I went and test drove an A6. I think I am in love with that car now. I never imagined a car that large could feel so sporty and so planted. It felt smaller than the GF's Jetta when i was driving it too. :cuckoo:

 

So sunday with a hangover I went to the shop and got rid of the rain tray. I still have a few more spot welds to get rid of, but it is pretty much gone.

Your destiny is sealed.......G60, and welding with the insulation in there. Seems like you dont even need a working engine to start a fire in that beast! :nuts:

You pipe and simmer over there! Its a VW in general I expect flames at somepoint. :cuckoo:

True. Although youre more likely to catch on fire ;). Auto belts, you better take them out, take out all the wiring, take out the insulation, the dash, the seats, just take it all out and put ford stuff in that way it will break down at 100,000 miles.

Now your starting to sound like rento... can you help with my lower radiator hose??? :cuckoo:

 

The dash is out of the car along with most of the wiring. The carpet and insulation is pulled back to the seats. It will be fine to weld on.

 

Will post vids from the new camera mounts today :D

I didn't really do alot this weekend. Mostly cleaned at the shop and taught my buddy ben how to polish the proper way.

 

But all the tar board is removed from the rain tray area. And most of the adhesive is too.

 

 

Saturday I did a photoshoot for NOS energy drink. now THAT was alot of fun. :nuts:

 

 

I love being a photographer

Bart came up to the shop to help for a bit last night. He is a badass with the welder :wink:

 

 

 

The tool with the tool

 

Then we went out to get some food and beer. After we were eating bart found some place next door. Awesome business name!

 

So back to the shop to do a bit more work:

 

Seam sealer behind the strut towers is a pain to get to

 

Grinding on some welds

 

and then bart took over with the welder agian for some more fun :thumb right:

 

Then he fixed the my horrible welding where the carbon canister used to be... he cut out that whole section and welded in a new piece

 

Mean while I pounded out the dent in my firewall, need a bit more work but its much better. Also got rid of most of the raintray remenants

Went to Joey's to do an oil change on his car. He handed me this:

 

 

Im surprised how detailed the model is. The engine bay is all correct, even the subframes are correct!!

 

Oh and I ground down the welds in by bay a bit more... starting to look really good

[PiercedWinky 0]

Met up with a great group of corrado owners and partied with them all weekend.

 

 

on the way down

 

Mike passed out while smoking on the balcony...

My welds suck, barts welds were good though :D
