Ants on/in car

I had this happen with my 2000 Jetta I used to own. But they were called "crazy ants" and they are impossible to get rid of. I see you are in New Jersey, these ants I believe are local to the south, so that may not be your problem. I had to get a special tube of stuff from a exterminator. Its...

New project car!!!

I knew it was a good idea to keep the stickers!! lol. Took the front drivers side panel off last night.. what a PIA. I had to remove the side skirt and fold a support bracket back (crushed in.. curb probably) to remove a bolt. Also had to rip the back drivers side interior panel off to get to a...

New project car!!!

It's not really luck :P Its time a money. Yes Gill we are happy with it.. but really there is nothing stopping us from stripping it, having it towed and finding something in a little better shape if we really need to. These cars are just hard to find in Houston and surrounding area's. You...

Thats awesome.. thanks! We werent planning on that much work, but you never know. From what I know so far, the power windows work fine, the switches all work no problem. The car will not turn over, the temp gauge shoots straight up, the fuel gauge goes to full and it doesnt even attempt to...

Yup :) They are kids Jules.. they get into crap worse than that. Its really not as bad as it looks. Body damage is easy, The 6 in it looks like itll actually run (crank turns, no oil or transmission leaks) . Just for fun I may get that running just to have something to play with.

New project car!!!

The weather stripping is actually in good shape.. I was up till 2am with the wife cleaning the car out and checking for rust under all the carpet. The crap muffler and piping came off really easy, but we are still having a hell of a time moving the damn thing further into the garage. Going to...
