From the outside pics it still has a bit of movement before the body hits the ground when its bagged out.

So what can you do to get around the sump?
Is it possible to fit a longer/wider sump that is shorter allowing a greater drop?
Or are you just going to leave the stock sump and sit it a bit higher than ground level for the bodywork?

That's awesome mate,
I just came across a 2nd hand air ride kit for a B4. http://www.edition38.com/forums/inde...&#entry2616065
It would just be too much to have two Passats on bags. One's enough!!

ummm! no ****ing way! u get that ****!! ill help you install it!!

Ha bloody hell. You've done well.
Dare I say, space the wheels outwards a bit for more flushness? I know it's not what you're going for, but it would aid the dopeness levels.

that is ALOT more harder than you think, im tucking well over an inch or rim, and its as close as 2mm away from the guard's some times even paper thin, i built the car to tuck all 4 rims! (not just tyres) and im very close in doing so, a spacer is well out of the question

its so much better in person.

hahahah cheers buddy

get that notch happening dom, plenty of room till you hit the deck!!

yeah ill be getting it up on a 4post hoist this weekend to check for exact clearances and where the driveshaft hits then ill mark it all and get crackin, i still have to run the gauges through to the cabin this weekend

congrats Dom! Big effort and persistance there and it's finally paid off! wicked and for my 2c of eff all, I think you need to work on your stance bro, it's got the low but has no stance to it, work the rims, get'em wider or space'em with camber and I reckon some mirror deletes would look tits!

Keep at it, it's things like this that's going to push aus dubs further!

finished off fitting my gauges on my homemade pod, scratches need to be smoothed, then primed and painted in black wrinkle paint to match the res of the interior

Great work dude. Sorry about the split. I didn't realise it was hard acrylic until the hole saw dug in.

Good to see it worked out OK man. Top stuff.


PS, how'd the holes in the back work out? Sweet??

[WABIT]

all good homie, i wasnt happy with the condition of the pod in that current pic so i re skinned it with filler and sanded it back nice and flat, so it looks a tonne better now!

the back holes: i pretty much went with your measurements and flipped it over to the other side, then cut, except i just used a dremel and smashed through it

Dom,
that looks ****, do it properly!

Dom,

Maybe it's just the pics? But that paint job does look pretty horrid dude. I reckon you'd be better off with satin/flat black. "If you can't hide it, make it a feature."

[WABIT]

its already satin lol... ive made it textured to match the other panels (plus its a tadd dirty in that pic)

dom

[Preen59]

Looks like wrinkle finish to me? Take some more pics.

[WABIT]

strapped the B*tch down! now all thats left is running the gauges to the dash.... (when i can be stuffed lol)
