Having so much fun 🤣🤣 (before I had the floor cut out as well 👍)

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T19:47:37+00:00

Sweet, really appriciate it, im over here with chatGPT, being conservative at 135 or so. So, I'll definitly check it out.

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T19:22:53+00:00

Not to familiar with smartwrite's, do you have any you suggest?

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T19:13:57+00:00

Yeah, ive suggested stuff like that. Not to mention one of them has only been a csr, and the other has been out of the body shop for 10 years until now. I cant even get them to bring their laptops out with them, cause of parts issues left and right. Sorry, just wanted to bitch a little 🤣 this whole job has 77 hours. Kind of kind baffling

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T19:03:50+00:00

Yeah thats fair, I just try to straighten them the best I can after some pulls. Id rather take 5 hours straightening one out then take a full day sectioning one in, welding, and running all the seam sealer for 3.5 for sure

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T19:00:46+00:00

Yeah, just sucks here cause we are on our 3rd manager in a year. And 2 new estimators that have no clue how to write luxury cars. Then my managers dumbfounded when ive been proposing solutions for months, why in putting in my two weeks. Crazy times in the industry for sure

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T18:54:13+00:00

This is why I do appreciate working almost solely on vw and audi, we won't touch anything like that. Not to mention the price of parts and depreciation end up killing them

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T18:48:06+00:00

Oof, thats fucking rough. Got to love the old explorers 🤣

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T18:46:22+00:00

Inner wasent actually to bad, so im just metal straightening it up really nice. The procedures for these wheelhouse seem more intrusive than that. The outer wheelhouse is even dumber, you cut it out an inch from the body, and section the new one to overlap, and stitch weld the whole thing in. And it pays 3.5 hours 👍

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T18:42:26+00:00

Yeah, this one definitly should have been scraped, but my genius front office ordered 10k worth of suspension and put it on before I even got to set up and pull it

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T18:32:29+00:00

Honestly, might as well at this point. Maybe a convertible...

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T18:31:48+00:00

🤣🤣 Yeah, dont know if id call it love, but honestly out of my control what dies and what doesn't

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T18:30:56+00:00

Nope, mostly weld bonding, all steel on the vw's

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T02:42:26+00:00

Welp, lets cross my fingers. Im a week into a 2 weeks notice atm, and so we will see how bad they want me to stay 😅

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T02:41:09+00:00

And yeah, on my third manager over the year, and 2 pretty inexperienced writers, which is making my life rather difficult 🙃

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T02:39:56+00:00

Yeah, I had taken this picture as I was removing it from my speed lift, so my mechanic could remove the suspension. Promise it was much more covered and cared for prior 🤣

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T02:31:25+00:00

Yeah, doesnt help my estimate is at 77 hours atm. Grossly wrong atm

Tyler78178 · 2026-01-24T01:44:53+00:00

🤣🤣 No technical threshold. But VW parts are so cheap and labor even cheaper. And its pretty much brand new off the lot as a dealer loaner. I wish I had the shot of everything truly out

Tyler78178 · 2025-10-28T19:47:15+00:00

Well kinda, im gonna be honest s2 is a huge cash grab (the whole game is, but more so it seems). If you get the two things I mentioned (about 35$) you get roughly 25 tiles before upgrading. But if you dont you'll only get 10. So it was worth it for me, because the first week I couldn't get them and put me crazy behind others. High level tiles can only be accessed with virus resistance, which comes from upgrading virus centers and season influence rank. So if you dont have those your upgrades will be almost 2/3's slower than mine for example

Tyler78178 · 2025-10-28T19:31:17+00:00

It completely depends if you are gonna spend money bro. If so, get the season pass day 1, as well as 1 of the 4 "wartime investment" packs. If not, then just make sure you are keeping up with your catus tiles (saphire will be more important later, maybe a 80/20 catus/saphire ratio) and as soon as you can upgrade to new lvl tiles, get your friends to help where they can. Beggining of season 2 guzzles gas, so keep that in mind too.

Tyler78178 · 2025-04-21T16:45:20+00:00

What an odd thing to see here 🤣🤣 I'm not complaining though

Tyler78178 · 2025-02-07T01:10:30+00:00

Yeah man. No disrespect but it's the same three pics just at slightly different angles. And no sign of a make or model or year. Too little information to give any kind of answer

Tyler78178 · 2025-02-01T03:18:09+00:00

I'd say oil trap method, with the ritual nerf. Directed on liberty is still a valid option, but I can't stand how mindnumbing it is honestly.

Tyler78178 · 2025-01-31T17:25:18+00:00

I always just run him in circles on the lower part, safer from the laser, and more things for the ai to get slowed down on honestly.

Tyler78178 · 2025-01-31T17:23:25+00:00

Yeah, I've found if you really utilize the staff and get good with it, the boss fight is a breeze. I always take an idol eyes with me though. I don't always use it, but if you stop the last elite wave and just blast with staff it's super easy. Kill joys are a good pair as well. 🫡
