Featured Replies

I've been on here a while now an only ever posted about my old build pickup but iv been meaning to post up my new project which i have owned for about 2 years now but I've decided the time has come to share the project with you all :)

 

Since i have owned the car its had a few changes to the look of the car but It has been a slow project, I need to pull my finger out an get on with it but I have hot a bit of a problem with lowering the front end I seem to have run out of shock travel if anyone can help out on that problem of how to get round it ? 

 

Here are a few pics of her when i first got it.

As soon as I got her home I had to change the wheels as I really didn't like them so I put a set of steels on her, looked so much better I think

I drove her round like that for ages as she was already lowered an previous owner had done some work to the engine with the weber carb, 6n rocker cover, oil cooler an some uprated bush here an there. Then i tried her on another set of wheels as i got bored of the look but i didnt like them

but then I got the idea to do something different which is where the wide arch part come from so I got my self some mk2 golf rear arches

Which are for the front arches which I still haven't got round to doing!, but I made a start on Rears which I was just stretching out the original arch but of course I needed some wide wheels to fill the arches so I got my hands on these 13 x 7j fronts 13 x 8j rears for £100 with good 175/50 13 tyres all round

And that's how it has stayed for ages I haven't got round to doing the Fronts which is why I need to pull my finger out an get on with it cause I cant wait to get it done so this is how she sits now
