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,

        About 10mm further down. Currently working on the front arches to get the whole car down further.
        Once its done it will be tucking tyre all around

            They are 195/50's . They are a bit bigger than i would have liked but it was a massive pain trying to find decent tyres at a decent price so i settled for these. They are a good compromise for daily duties.

            I've found that a scaffold pole & rubber mallett have done a good job of solving rubbing issues

                  It's supposed to be a chrome edged grill when i bought it but when it arrived i found it was a cheap Chinese pattern part with a silver(ish) detail around the edge. The hole for the VW badge was molded upside down too Genuine chrome CL grilles are crazy expensive these days.

                    Very cool mate, the car looks like it's straight out of England, I really like the small bumpers and plainer grill. When are you going to come along to one of the meet ups? It'd be good to have a look at your car and say Gday.

                        Once it's in good enough shape, i'll bring it along. The arches are a bit of an eye sore at the moment

                                I was thinking about spacing them about 10mm but then i'd have to raise it as there is very little space between the tyre wall & arch.

                                I'm at a bit of a crossroads, i'm thinking either this stance;


                                or tuck all around...
