Yeah, imagine being able to trust someone to be able to do their job. That's ridiculous Chris!

SMH I wonder how long it will be before people learn how to do their job. Or to simply remember to tighten something they loosened while doing the job!

If I had the money, I'd buy alignment equipment, an exhaust pipe bender, and a lift so I would never have to go to a shop again.

I installed the S5 fog light switch on friday. It took about 5 to 10 minutes to install total. It fits in just like it was meant for the car.

My next car project is going to be rebuilding the louvers. I have the rivets to do it I just need to drill out all the old rivets and take the braces it to be welded. Once I get it all back together, I'll paint it.

Than I will be having the seat repaired. And paint comes after that.

What's wrong with the louvers now, are they just loose or something?

You'll never live down that paint job, Chris LOL. Not that I wouldn't do it also though haha.

The louvers have cracks in the support rods and all the rivets are loose and old. Also it needs to be repainted. I already have a box of rivets for the louves, I just need the time to do it.

I'm hoping to paint the car in the spring to early summer.
