64valiant Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Nah. Fuck you and your non broken horn ring I want ima sorry. i can trade you broken horn ring for a good bonnet handle how badly damaged is your vw from the other night? also need to adjust my clutch cable if any one would like to give me a word for word description how to do it before i go drilling more holes in my vw? i went shopping like two mins ago and brought some wire brush things for my drill so i can clean all the fluffy crap off inside as well so i can do more upholstery on it. when i say "i can" i mean i will get the dude who comes in after school to do it so he can earn some money. and its a shit job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 It's okay, I'm just jealous My bugs okay. Bit of paint transfer. And it bent the bunper brackets and tweaked the guard a bit I've straightened the bumper brackets. So that's okay But still Trying to get paint off/ gotta polish scratches out :(/ see panel beater about straightening ripple out in guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 shit I forgot to bring you my non-busted bonnet handle, give me a yell next time you're up here...
