Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

                        Thanks mate, yep sure did, just wire wheeled it and it smoothed it all out pretty well, can't even notice it, even if it makes the lip look a bit wavy!!

                                Just picked up these babies, BRAND NEW from ebay, for an astronomically low price of $274. I am broke, no way I can fork out money for KW's or BC's, so these cheapies will do. Will just set and forget because I imagine they will be seized up by the time I try and adjust again, looking forward to a tough ride haha. Ultimate goal is to just get it low!
