Default Do you have a 4th of July Project?

Thought I'd kick start something as it's always cool to hear what others are doing - no, I'm not counting things like "finish a 12 pack and a large meat lovers pizza." Does anyone have anything they're slating to work on or complete on their dub during the long weekend?

As for me, nothing exciting. As has been suggested, I'll hopefully do a bunch of compression and vacuum line testing. I also have to figure out why my stereo is cutting in and out, but I don't have any removal tools as of right now.

Anyone else?

what's wrong with the whip. I'll take it if you don't want it
I'm pulling the fenders off the dub tomorrow. a little work on them and then they're going into storage until the winter. And i'm going to try to fix the flywheel on my nitro rc truck. before i get too drunk.

I'm building a car. There's a VW event on my birthday (the 18th) and I want to have something fast to race. I have less than 2 weeks to install a 2L 16v in a '78 Rabbit, along with doing the interior and installing a full roll cage.

H&R Springs and Bilstien shocks. Just did the clear headlight mod which was a PITA.
