:D What the title says!

I ordered a new 8 inch stubby antenna + base for my bug to replace a rusty one. She also got her windows cleaned and trash cleared out.

Can I lop the last few weekends together?

Ok just last weekend...

-Welded up seat bracket to Passat Passenger Seat and installed (driver seat done previous weekend)
- Cut muffler out of exhaust, cut the S pipe into a downward facing Candy cane shaped pipe, welded attachment bracket to it, installed after the resonator.
- Used a heat gun to heat up the fender with a dent, used a flat head to press the dent out. Now I have a slight crease, looks much better.
- ZipTie™ Mod for the hood release latch (the tongue that pops out from under the hood)
- Cut out the bracket that holds the rear bench seat back up and the two body bolts that hold the 6-Disc CD changer in the trunk. Car is officially a two-seater now.
- Dismantled front subframe from a 2001 Jetta to have installed in the Beetle and resolve my negative camber issue
- Reprogrammed Cluster to Japan, hoping it'd take away the CEL for the EGR ... but it didn't.
- Setup VAGCOM in WINE / Setup two VirtualBox VirtualMachines for VAGCOM should my serial cable not work with VAGCOM running in WINE (I Use Linux...)
- Cleaned out my car

I fixed the blend door in my 02 last weekend and gave the inside a good scrubbing afterward. Thought about doing the water pump in my 03 and decided it was too much to handle right now so I am looking for a good vw mechanic who works on his own time in the Ft. Lauderdale area to do it for me. Just not confident enough yet to tear apart the motor, Land vehicle Vehicle Car Motor vehicle Automotive exterior
