Well, with the first of April, I officially gave up the Golf. Dad seems to be having a lot of fun driving the old heap around. Sad news is, after many years of service, the ‘Blue Bus’ has finally been retired. RIP in scrap yard heaven!
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve spent many hours in the garage, working on the trucks suspension. Kevin came over one weekend, and we got the rear end lowered 6″. Went in fairly easy, just time consuming. We gave up and quit at midnight. Over the next week to 10 days, I spent several hours in the garage with help from Matt, Grant and Aaron to finish off the front end. Would have gone much quicker had the balljoints not been such a bitch to pop. In the end, the trucks lowered, and looks awesome. Thanks for all the help guys! Since then, I have got the alignment done, installed my bedrug, had tint put on the front doors/windshield and also had my alarm and new muffler installed. (Thank Mike for the alarm help!) Was a very busy month the truck. That said, truck is pretty much done until I can find some money for wheels, hood, and headers.
The truck isn’t the only vehicle to get some loving. Alex and Paul have been nice enough to help me out with the bug again seeing as I’ve been swamped getting my truck done and back on the road. The carpet kit has been installed. Hopefully will get it towed up to Dions soon to have the engine installed and the last couple things done.
I’ve got more to post, but I will do so in a week or two.
Pics of the truck will be HERE once I get them uploaded.
