i reached a new low today with this car....
















verrrry nice! great success!



p.s. Gordon, I wouldn't mind a centre cap if you've got a spare one lying about. Doesn't matter if it's not in great shape.

You won't have no problem with that ride height honestly if you take out the helper spring its quite good.

She's low Jared!
Hope you did it properly and cut/gusseted the body ok and clearanced the fuel filler pipe.

ride's fine, what are you on about dom? hahah

Cheers Andrew, it's not that low that I've had issues yet with the DS. Once the suspension settles, I'll get back out and measure everything up, and make sure it's not hitting anything. But I'll cross that bridge properly, if I get there! I will go out and double check the fuel filler pipe though.,

Uploading and editing some better pics now. I got the exact look I was after with this car, so I'm pretty impressed actually. I really love the "old volkswagens don't die, they just get lower" kinda of look it's got.

here's a pic of the lower stress brace, and the oil 'catch can' & cold air intake I whipped up, just after sydney.

[Jarred]

pretty big change from what I started with, even if I don't say so myself!

[Golf Houso]

Impressive Jarred, the wheels also look great polished and definately contributed to the sucessful look. Nice work

[Goon]

Just brilliant man.

Restorations like this one, make me want a Mk1 so bad!

jar-rad, your 5 door looks incredible. so clean, uncluttered. with non-turbo diesel power it must also be a weapon!

but honestly it looks incredible. i hope this is your daily, perfect ride height

oh oh oh !! get some chrome mirrors!
