        Loving your work!! Now this is a semi sleeper, who would expect this kind of performance from a New Beetle!!

        Nice work...

                          2 wheel drive. No LSD. To be honest it hooks up really well. no tramping

                          everything is new and uprated. Mounts etc

                            All the braided lined all hooked up nice. Clamps detailed




                            Big shout to my man Marcus for all the parts running, lunch making and all round help. Cheers Bro

                            And heres him in action, sanding down the strutbrace ready for satin black...none of this polished lark
