Cheers Man,

I think I'm going to go 70mm or lower if anything crops up trouble is pot holes+speed bumps were we live

It will stay red, well pinky for now. Ima t-cut it so we'll see.

Needs rims!

The badges are staying! I bought a VW for a reason lol

The fate of the Side trim is not yet written in stone!

And side exit exhaust.

Colouring stuff as I go :-D

It ain't going to be anything out of this world

First things first oil and filter change!

Good thing is It recently had a fair bit done to it, new discs+pad, exhaust ect.

You guessed wrong, not that you had a lot to go by

Apparently they're 80mm

And it says 80 on them?

I suppose theres no real way of knowing untill there side by side with standard ones.

Edited 7 June, 201115 yr by MaxVW

Cheers man.

Any updates on suspension ?

So a long waited update is here, My suspension is on, not 80mm, more like 50.... Although in the long run this may be a good thing as my exhaust's mid-sec just misses on some of the speed bumps around here...

Rears-

Before-

During-

Note the shock lower mount.... i had to hacksaw both ends of the bolt off.. fun.....

After-

Front-

I end the I still had to swap the springs over, aswell as a strut. Did I have a shock when i took the original out! Oil went everwhere

Before-

During-

Bye, Bye

After-

It rides a hell of alot smoother now.

Then I got bored so gave a wheels a makeover, There only the standard steels. It's crying out for rims...

I was planing to do the centers black, but bored and bright colours took over........

Don't worry its not a perminant thing

Then is was a sound system...

Bye Bye

Hello

I also but some speakers in the rear, I had to drill 2 holes in the pod thingy but it doesn't look too bad..

Aswell as blacking a badges.

Anyway, thats it! I need some rims, roof rails, front seats next :-D

Edited 7 June, 201115 yr by MaxVW

Little wheel update... I have been looking for a set of rims for a little while now. And I got sick of the multi coloured steels....

So they went black with some hub-caps which I stole from a 6n my dad has just got. I really like the look of the car now, I know its not different but still.

:-D

Edited 16 July, 201115 yr by MaxVW

Just thought I'd show you my Beetle, as I know some of you are interested in aircooled stuff.

Hows its looking atm..

Edited 14 December, 201114 yr by MaxVW

Been a while now, I'm on the look about for another lowering kit, 80mm.

I was going to cut the current springs put I dont want to be riding on the shocks. And the spring would be too short, although I've been looking at MOTUk website and as far as I can tell its not an MOT failure.

These little diamonds came in the post today....

Stainless Steel roof bars ftw!

Max

Nice!

80mm springs you after?

Martn

Nice!

80mm springs you after?

Cheers, hopefully they will go on over chrimbo

Soo tempted to buy your vortex grill..

And yes with shortened shocks too.

Good base polo and mods coming along well..... but lets see more of this Ford Galaxie!!!

yeah, I know what you mean, I can always change to black ones.

Put them on today, well nearly it got dark and I was getting angry that the last bolt wouldn't go in, so gave up for today.

Heres a pic, I'm going to do a full How To in the tech sec. tomorrow when its completely done.

Now I need:

- wheels

- more Lows.

All done , makes it look different, you ever seen a mk3 with S/S rails in the U.K?

Also Got clear indys months ago and de-bumped it a few weeks ago.

Nice and tidy-ish-

Passed my test today, 2 minors

Its much better to drive than a 207

Edited 5 January, 201214 yr by MaxVW

So after decide to keep it a few weeks ago I started to get going on it again.

First came the big clean and polish after being sat for 4 months-

Then....

Old-

New-

In and happy I can put for than 10quids worth in without losing it.

Also dewipered while paint was drying.

New Wheels that I won on ebay last night -

They're 13x6 Speedlines and I think they suit it pretty well.

All I really want now is an 80mm kit :(

Cheers Max
