I rebuilt my half shafts. Cleaned out all the old grease with paper towels and a parts washer, regreased the cv joints and installed new boots. Then after it was all back together, degreased it again. A very satisfying job. Today, I'm going to remove the crossmember behind the engine, lower the car off the jackstands, and disconnect everything in the engine compartment so I can pull the engine and tiptronic.

Yee Haw
I got to drive the box 2 days in a row, a couple hundred miles each day.
It was like driving on the salt flats of Bonneville
Each day I had to take it over to the local pressure washer car wash and rinse off the road salt

I "installed" door sills. $40 out the door, eBay. 2+ hours removing the 3M HD double sided tape, prepping, affixing new like tape, and installing. However...

I'm not driving an "S". I couldn't pass up the deal to hide all the existing touch up paint and scuffs.

I considered using a black magic marker to hide the S.

Thoughts?

I know. First world problems.
