That immediately follows the mucking about phase which came after the taking things apart phase never really gets the attention it’s due.

Right after putting everything back together I’d noticed I hadn’t hooked up my door-pull properly so I had to extend it much further than before.  So that went on my list of shit to fix “later”.

While out last weekend in Rocky Mountain/Rimbey I finally noticed that I hadn’t hooked up my mirror control.  This obviously needed to be fixed.

10 freaking minutes.  I can’t believe it didn’t take longer. 10 minutes to take apart my door, not lose any screws, reconnect things properly and put everything back.

And to top it off, the door-pull works properly now and everything! I guess now that that’s done properly, I can move on to planning the next mod… if only I could pick what to do next…

So last night I installed my Alientech window controller in my Golf. Super happy fun times! Within 15 minutes of finishing the install I had ladies oohing and aahing in awe. Well… one lady at least. It impresses the ladies in my head!

I’ll put up pics when I get home from work today. I realise this post is rather pointless, but I figure I had to post something new on the front page. Maybe I’ll update the mileage stats when I get home too, two more datapoints to add.

I guess now I should start looking at the next inexpensive project for an afternoon or evening’s quality time with my car. Perhaps the W8 overhead console from the Passats…

Update:

Pictures are up!
