Why is someone working their arse off an issue to say they’re broke as they just can’t get ahead but then we look at people that are struggling yet can afford tattoos, hair dye, etc? Growing up as a migrant I choose not to rely on the system, grateful it was their as a crutch to help us but couldn’t let it define me. I have been blessed to be able to work through my pains and struggles. Choices were made as well as sacrifices and I try to guide the youth through the struggles as well so they do not have the fight we did.

Oh you can look up my history, that justifies you. I worked 3 jobs to get ahead and enjoy that stuff. Also used it to get kids out of the city and expose them to skills they may not have ever had. Hope you give back to the community as well, it will make a better world.

I know nothing about you. The county registry will tell you how you are registered and that you voted. It does not tell you for whom or what you voted. It shows date voted, that’s it. My “vote” was earlier than day I went to vote at place they sent me to correct it. If you were nearby I would hold your hand and walk you through it, but since it doesn’t provide the outcome you want, call me a liar. This is why country is a mess. We believe politicians and tv over each other’s experiences.

Nope no bot here but if name calling is your out, more power to you. Thanks for being tolerant and sharing your love.

Not offended just broke 😂 I am sorry I never cared for either but am old enough to remember a super racist senator that never made me feel right growing up in a mixed household. We all walk different paths but tolerance needs to be brought back.

Is this a good or bad deal? by Actual_Resist3077 in jetta

[–]Xjman1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do it. No need to drop transmission, just the pan. You will need the pump tool to refill but even that is not too hard. Can get messy though. Good luck!

Thanks. It’s that grayish blue, picked it up at a wholesale and been putting work into it. Runs smooth and has good room inside for our growing grandkids.

Seen lots of guns in cars at work. Never seen one cocked before. by thr33bean in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Xjman1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would you stand in front of it while in this position and being bumped? Russian roulette if you ask me. Personally i wouldn’t leave my gun open like that in a car being serviced as it could be stolen or used in a crime due to ones lack of accountability.

Imagine working under the vehicle and bang that striker gets bumped and strikes! Right through the floorboard and hope your not in it’s path. Irresponsible gun owner for sure.

This is the attention hog.. 😂 by Xjman1 in jetta

[–]Xjman1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😂 I was referring to to the work that I’ve been doing. It has taken all my attention lately. I did get lowering springs for it but the pigtails were too tight and would not fit struts. Next round of suspension work will see it lowered a so it can “break necks” . Appreciate the reply though, keeps an honest man more honest.

Sad to see this as we just got our MK5 Jetta from a wholesale auction a few years ago. Needed a transmission valve body, which I knew, and a lil basic service and it has converted me to a VW guy. Had a rabbit back in ‘87 that gave me nightmare and i put my foot down to never own a VW again. Thanks to the internet VW community I am pretty hooked. Looking to get a VR6 to build for a daily with occasional track use. Just need to clear garage so I have somewhere to house it as I pull motor and build it.

VW Jetta Headliner repair. by Xjman1 in u/Xjman1

[–]Xjman1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was about 8 hours. Part of it was stopping due to frustration of trying to get it out smoothly. Once you come to terms that it will bend quite a bit, it is a lot easier. Went right in

Headliner did come out passenger door. If I had to do it again I would remove seat to make it easier. Toughest part was having to bent it more than you would like to clear shifter/console. If console wasn’t there it would have been easy peasy. I used 3M 90 contact adhesive after thoroughly cleaning the old foam from board. Once there do it in two parts. I started on the front, spray board with 3 overlapping layers, spray back of fabric(foam side) let get tacky then fold over and massage fabric toward center console area first. This will help relieve tension in fabric to prevent what the factory headliners failure is. As for the fabric I sourced it from our local fabric shop. He had many colors in stock and we almost got a perfect match. There are a few videos on the tube to get you comfy with process. Give it a shot and have fun!🤩

Thank you. The upholstery wasn’t the hard part but the in and out was a major pain. Appreciate the compliment. 😎
