    Be Careful

    This is basically a post telling the s**** story of my mk3, of someone who has no resources for cars. Don't read it all if you don't care for a personal story. (I refer to fluid light as bhg light, as that's what people told me it basically meant) As a 13 year old boy seeing a silver mk3 with...

    yes, it is not permanent in the slightest. I can take it off for the winter so it won't get snowed on, and the seals on the hinges should last a long time (More than enough) Plus if i get another i can get more hinges and switch them for seasons.

    Speedometer problem?

    oh, darn. I may just drive it to a shop with a friend following me to pace me. I don't care really, it's a learning experience. Might as well break it now than have it break when i need it like in the middle of a long drive. All in the process i suppose. Thanks!

    The louvers are held on by 6 hinges that have industrial tape on the back, which you then silicone down. The top two are optional, but i did them just to feel safer. they then have a plastic screw top that goes through the louvers and connects with the hinge. The tape and silicone took about a...

    Speedometer problem?

    OK, so this weekend i took apart my dash and took out the gauges to put on new faces. The oil gauge came apart instantly and broke as i took it out. ( I'm not bothered, it never really showed much help, especially that my 87 is N/A so i don't mind the gauge not working. So I put the dash back...
