[1990AWD]

Knows I like it when you start from scratch, when you're trying to repair or fiddle with it then it sucks.

Likes starting from scratch.

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows I finally worked on the DSM today, no more squeaky Squeaky from the belts.

When I had put the Crankshaft Pulley on after replacing the head gasket, I didn't get it seated down all the way. This was mostly due to the bolt I removed being stripped from the numbnuts that used to own the motor. I replaced the bolt, but didn't want to strip it out. When I saw it didn't line up, I took an oversize socket and a sledge hammer and tapped it a few times, torqued it down and no more Squeaky Squeaky.

Next week I'll change out the Coolant and Oil to see if the Head Gasket took, wish me luck. The oil is running clean, but it had a lot of water in it when I changed it out last year. The car has been sitting since then.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Has a build thread?

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows I didn't set one up, too much life was happening at the time. But it's good to be back to it.

Keep in mind, stock RS DD. I do have the following left after I can make it legal again and smog it.:
-polyurethane bushings
-inner/outer tie rods
-Front Bearing sets

Still need:
-tires
-Better than "GS" rear sway bar I put in a few years ago.

 

[1990AWD]

Knows I'm really happy that he's been working on his car. Hope to see pics of it back on the road!!

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows a little money and time will make this happen, thanks for the kind words.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Should pick up a 1g tsi awd for cheap

 

[1990AWD]

Should know not all of us have your budget.

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows I'm hooked for life on 2G.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Knows 1gs can be had for under a grand

 

[1990AWD]

Should know one can never leave a DSM stock plus you're never gonna find a good one for less than a grand. Only old beat up ones that'll cost a lot to fix up.

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows mine was pretty beat up a number of years ago when I bought it for 2, but the auto wrecker is my friend.

 

[1990AWD]

Has a fixer upper.

 

[2slow4now]

Already fixer uppered her'd.

 

[1990AWD]

Should know I bought mine in minty shape.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Should know mine was in great shape also, but the PO didn't care to wash it so i got a good deal. As well as claiming a blown t25

 

[2slow4now]

Should know I couldn't find a minty shape dsm but it was only two owner.
