He hit me $180 each for the Bonne and Regal. I pulled the back deck in both and door panels in the Regal (actually it was lucky to have a seat and shifter). This one he'll do the whole job with maybe me helping, I'm expecting $300+ because it's Audi.

Everything costs more when you have a nice car. (except gas, that's the same silly price)

The 200S is in dire need of some good darkening...and I don't trust people touching my car...

I can ask Paul what he'd hit you up and try to see if it can be done while you are here.

I need to have mines retinted. All bubbled up from sitting so long. Already removed the front tint. Still have the back tint on I'll have to address removing that when I get a chance and can't see crap out the back window.

I doubt its from sitting. It's probably from being cheap tint. The tint on my Stealth has been on there for 11 years. The car has been sitting for 4 years and there is no bubbling in the tint.

Also didn't help that I had it tinted on top of what was already there. No biggie.. It'll get done eventually. This time I'll be removing all tint and going lighter this time around. Keep in mind I'm also in FL sitting uncovered takes its toll.

Edit; tints been on for 7 years or so but up until the last 2 years it's been fine.

My buddies from FL and AZ said tint is a lifetime.. because you use quality in those two states. That's for darn sure.
 


Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

Might be in the market for some fresh tint soon. What is a "quality" film? I've heard good things about 3m.
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

Llumar is one of the ones they had mentioned. think Solar Gard was another.

Oh man. I know an older guy that always forgot to unplug chargers and battery maintainers before driving. I ended up with 2 chargers from him. They were beat up so bad he just bought new ones.
They're a little ghetto looking but they work with a few repairs and modifications.
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

Well i think its fixed, the wires on the inside just had like spade connectors so a I plugged them in where i thought they went and crimped on a new eye connector thing. Then my grandpa beat the case back into shape lol.

My aunt accidentally forgot to unplug my uncle truck one winter, wrapped a 100ft extension cord around one of the wheels halfway down the road.
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

Hey nifty, I like fixed junk. One man's trash... is how I live lol

Anyway, dudes was laugin their heads off over here behind the welding curtain...

IMG_6270_zpsxfqla8re.jpg


I knew that a really embarrassing home cooking type floor repair had been made by someone in this car previously. Roof flashing glued down with liquid nails and riveted then painted with concrete sealer. Seriously, Rustangs are where some of the most comical old repairs we dig out come from. Especially torque boxes, you would not believe the halfassery. Welding is taboo to some guys I guess, but it seems they would rather walk twenty miles to use a bridge rather than swim 20 feet. OK, I'll stop. Here, you look... and remember this is the tip of an iceberg you're seeing. SMH.

The piece that he popped out-

Aw man, no way thats...

IMG_6273_zpshmyrbpxq.jpg


Seriously? Dump a quart of bondo in the floor and just squeeze hardener out on top of it? Oh my. Owner must have been confused and walked into a flooring store when business was slow. "A Mustang? Um, sure!". See the screen lookin stuff on the top left? Yeah thats the LR torque box, right over the front leaf spring mount. At least that with the bondo means they went to the wal mart body repair aisle. So more treasures await discovery, oh boy.

That was straight gross. Put down the barfbag, I cleaned up the T/A hood and snapped these on the way out. This I can build a paint job on and sleep at night.

Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

your dads truck,,,well it needs a new truck lol or a lot of cut chop rebuilt going on.
 


Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

It's a 98, and a dodge so not likely to be kept around much longer. Lol. He's so picky with trucks, and he wants a certified used or no more than 4 years old used truck, so no special ordering a new one.
Needs an 8 foot bed, extended cab, must be 2wd, a metallic light color, and no options other than power windows/locks and A/C pretty much.
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

tell him to get one of these monsters. things a damn beast. my friend just pretty much stole this truck for about 50 grand out the door.

Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

Lol Chevy doesn't seem to sell an extended cab 8 foot bed truck.
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

they do. but they are harder to come by, anything extended cab, they want to put a 6 foot bed on it.

thats a 9 foot dump lol its f ing long. and its a 4x4. inside its rather loaded for a work truck, blue tooth in the hd, trailer brake set up is built in, full power windows and locks. all 4 windows have express down, and up. seats are manual, but damn they are nice too.
