Thats it!? It costs 8 hours at BoM. Putting springs on this car is no easy task, just ask Nate.

weather update

68, wind out of the north 13 mph

waves 4ft

golf course.....really nice (18 done)

Have a great day

We cheated because we didn't have the specialized tools needed to remove the shocks. Took us 5-6 hours or so (3 people). One of the 3 had his VW put on springs...was quoted 2-3 hours...and it took them 8!

Now Parker has my car for an alignment...

If they'd do the alignment too...I'd take them up on the 5.5 hours.

First!

Good Morning everybody! It is almost Friday.

Park2670 · 02-04-2010, 07:54 AM

Almost!

SLCGoonski · 02-04-2010, 09:35 AM

Ruff Rider · 02-04-2010, 09:45 AM

weather update

70, sunny, light winds out of the west

Seriously?? Eek! Most other threads have shown it being just a couple hour job.

On a side note, she's back in my arms. After a long 2 months at Alpine, she's finally home. She feels soooooo good.

Oh, and she's never looked hotter.
