lol

small update

rear wheel spacers arrived

thought id fitt hem

then added the pair and looks loads better but unsure if ok ,as i reckon it should be because the rear is light and the tyres have a great dish inside and out side so should put extra load on the wheel bearings ,,,any thoughts

small update ,, modifyed the anti roll bar 2day and fitted it ,, seems to have stiffernd the rear end up

got a front one to make fit too

then thought i better straightern the rear bed up a bit ,

I've a bit more to do ,beat means removeing a few bits so ,that ill sort at a later date lol

tryed the tailgate for rough fit

next when I've time is is get rid of the banara tailgate ,make it look a bit straighter

small update not mutch modifyed the rear handbrake this after

brakes and handbrake sorted

Some crazy skills there, would love to see the run down toe strip one day

Amazing work

You've got some wicked skills mate! keep us updated

You've got some wicked skills mate! keep us updated

cheers bid , ps for all of you are guys runing rears disc conversion and have handbrake cable probs use ,mk3 golf vr6 cables there fit a treat

started n the drivers side floor to strenghern it up so first removed the old channeling

then made a new one with nice thick steel

welded that on and cut the other rottern part out ready for some thicker steel

added a another plate

then added the thicker one to strenghern the floor and chassi mount up ,

then did a few flooor patchers ,, thinking about it i wish id just cut the complete floor out instead lol ,, but a bit late na

then thought check for a few bits to sort around the body ,

finished off the rear quarter ,too

few holes welded up

then finshed weldeing the bottom door corners

so decied to remove all the underneath underseal , stressfull ,lol

which found a few more holes lol twating vws lol

then decied to do all the under archers and got a bit carried away with the grinder and polished the coilover leg up ,, god knows what i was thinking lol

makes things look rather tidyer then rusty steel and welds showing

same with the rears too

then welded the old truckman holes up and a tad a spray to stop rust until a later stage

then again i had to make a small spacer for the coilovers ,because with runing bigger mk4 cv jonts there were catching on the cv rubbers , so alterd the holes and made the spacer and welded it in ,so when heavy braking is needed the suspension leg carnt drop ,,and cause any problems , then gave it a clean up ,,

then as it was getting dark ish , thought id give the calipares a quick goinging over lol

from this

to this

my paint then tbh honst ,,

keep them like this, metal looks cool. love this thred :)

LEE

keep them like this, metal looks cool. love this thred :)

LEE

nice one lee may shine them up at a later stage

right had a few hours free so thought id start on the dash

first rip it out

then make a few strenghing bars

i wasnt sure were u mount the dash too above or below the window rubber

got best i could looks ok , but any idea i do with the side window covers as theres a gap ,

but its fitted ,and pref the black dash to grey ,, still was a bit tight on the ends and had to trim ends of the dash near the window corners to fit

another prob looks like the gearstick assembly will need moveing back a few inch too

so whos up on how the hell i rewire mk3 vr6 clocks and coloum storks into the mk1 wireing ,, as I'm stuck ,,,

so 2day i neeeded a break an decided to find some cheep seats after a quick clean i think they will do the job as they evern have runners so , easy to adapt

nice flat backs too ideal i reckon for a caddy

and i was going to fit a golf ball type gearknob but it dosent look right after bending the gearstick , so had to buy a nice 4 motion one to match the runing gear

alfa seats.. mmm this is gunna look awesome mate...
