Dang woulda come out ahead if you made the trade!Well, I sold the one with a bad engine. Picked it up for $200 and some work, turned around and got $750 for it. I had a guy who also wanted to trade for an AR-15... I had already told the one guy I would hold it for him. Oh well, I probably needed the cash more than a pew-pew.
I know. I kinda wished I hadn't told the other guy I'd hold it, but I know how it is when you drive several hours for a vehicle and can't go right away... I've always appreciated the people who held one for me.
For sure, that's a solid move. I always will give 1st in line the chance to purchase. I've been undercut before on a sale and it sucks
Good luck with surgery! Having been through more injuries and surgeries than most, don't skimp on the PT afterwards!
Good luck with the fusion - sorry that you have to get it done. I know a few folks (my dad is one) that had ankle surgery after ankle surgery, and eventually fusion. I don't know of a lot of folks that had good outcomes prior to fusion.
Lol, I only hit things on the day's I don't feel like putting the skid plate on
What told you it was time to replace the rear stubs?
Looks good. I'd recommend Lamin-X so they don't chip. I had a glass lens in a set of VXTuning HID's develop a few tiny little nicks.
Yeah I've read quite a few people say that. Probably will do so.
When cutting into the bearing race i nicked one. Else i would have reused them
Do they make those for the beetle? I got a set of new TYC and theyre terrible, seems like high and low beams are out about 15 degrees side to side
Finally got my glass headlight lenses installed.
The lights themselves I bought from a member here, named freakwitharacket, but he recently posted he was no longer doing business. Hopefully someone else picks it up, because I've been nothing but happy with these lights for the last 4 or 5 years. I only wish I would have bought them with glass lenses from the start, but was worried about them breaking. Now, with seeing how the plastic lenses turned to crap in a few years, I'm not too worried about the glass breaking. I have no idea if anyone makes them for Beetles.
Yeah that's amazing what a difference in calirty can do.After. Light output is so much better now.
I had tons of problems with his lights... bought 2 sets early on (2014). Cheap lights (one arrived broken because the projectors are too heavy for the internal hardware to support) - crappy wiring - horribly designed harness and one had obsolete HID bulbs. Only good thing was the glass lenses. I rewired, replaced ballasts, ditched his harnesses and modified the car to keep lows on with highs (lows power ballasts, highs trigger the shrouds). LEDs now work so much better than HIDs- when I fix the second set of his (been on the shelf useless for years) - I'll go that route.
