Mike it's Warren. Did you cut up his mk1 floor pan yet? If not, how bad is it? I need it for my rabbit, mine is completly rotted away. Tell the owner i'm not paying for it either .

Warren how you doing buddy? frame rails were pretty mangled from being low, I also think someone already has dibs on them as well. i will find out and let you know sir.

This build is insane! I am going to be following this for sure. Incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail.

I bow down to these fab skills.

On to the rear end. Measuring from hub to hub the r32 is 2.5 inches wider than the rabbit suspension. The plan of attack will be to shorten the control arms, the axles, and narrow the r32 floor pan so everything will bolt up and fit just like an oem r32 suspension. even the rear spring seats will fit in the OEM pockets.

shot after shortening to show how much will be removed from each side



the inner control arm was cut offset so the caster was back to spec



top angle showing the control arm installed with the offset modified. notice the axle sits straight now





shot of the adjustable lower control arm



machined and sectioned 2.5 shorter and will be tig welded back together.





For mockup we modified the factory axles until proper length was achieved. After we're happy we'll have custom axles built to withstand the horsepower goals the customer wants.

passenger side axle shortened.
