Updates!

Rabbit is starting to look more like a car everyday. Rear drive train located and mocked in place today and raised to check for clearance issues, measuring, measuring and more measuring and planning.

using the rear support brace we welded in place to keep the body straight, we squared up the rear suspension assembly and welded the square tubing to the sub-frame to hold the assembly in place.





we also finished shortening the drive-shaft and welded it up bolted it to the rear differential





Shot looks like the complete rear end is floating



shot from the passenger seat looking back



shot of the rear end from the outside. you can see where we have the trailing arms\spindle assembly mocked in place. Its home will be bolted to the R32 floor pan just like it did from the factory as well. This complete rear assembly will be removable and servicable

Custom short runner plenum parts came in for fabricating



end caps



Shortened the drive shaft



machined an insert for strength



from the factory the R32 wheelbase is approximately 5 inches wider.

The complete R32 rear suspension and axles has been narrowed to be exactly the same width as the mk1 rabbit to fit the body. (picture above shortened)

Warren i made a bet with Nash that if we finish this car by H20 he will do an AWD burnout from light to light in front of convention center at H20 2011! I said "deal!" and this is the product so far after 6 weeks of work.

I might have to take a weekend trip to the shop buddy!! As busy as you are and you got all this done in 6 weeks. AWD burnouts FTW!!!!!!
