it hasnt been cheap to DIY it mate - but cheaper then what it should have cost had i had the front struts made to order, there was more then 10hrs of work in them.

theres some pics of the whole car on the GOLO thread on the next page

Wow, i was just thinking about the possibility of getting air ride on my mk3, i think most of this is out of my reach skills wise.

mclovin was telling me about the mk1 hubs, cheers for that

all the best on the build

well done. this has made me think...you have made it look so easy. congrats mate.

don't understand you mate? when there pumped up there's to much arch gap???? I was only showing how high they would go- I'm not going to drive round like a land rover! I'm only going to put enough air pressure in to raise it so there's a 1" gap between tyre and arch.
