this has come a very long way. I love every thing about this. Just one question What type of measuring is involved for the widening of the fender or does your body guy eyeball it and just kinda tailor them around the shape of the wheel ?
we used the test wheels, pulled the fender out until the wheel poked out a tiny bit, tacked it in that postiion with those small steel rods to keep the shape. then made a cardboard stencil and traced that to metal. and boom!
but yeah, here are better pics of rear fitment and such
but like i said, a little camber in the rear and it will sit perfect, thanks for reading! will be updating with small detail fixes this and next week

The tires are on, rearsare mounted, firment came out alright, but i need to add probably 2* of camber and it will be perfect.
The fronts are where the problem lies, i measured twice like im supposed to, but there are now two issues, the faces of the steelies dont clear the calipers so atleast 15mm spacers are needed, which ends up poking them out around 2" , it looks really bad and i dont have a picture because i was really annoyed after i finally finished. So the question is, do i sell this set of steelies and buy some new/different wheels or do i just order a new set of fronts and end up with 6 wheels....advice is welcomed.
So...tires came in! wheels will be mounted monday when i have a day off.
but today when it was slow at work, i cleaned and painted a grill i got form the junkyard along with the VW emblem, didnt like the chrome with the rest of the car so i went for a aluminum like finish . also i got the corner lights on after cleaning up a pair i got from the same junkyard
Super sick B4 bro! Check out my B3. This was pre lowering btw.
nice dude, yeah i commented on it before about the wheels, its nice, you just need to lower it! its been a really long build with nothing really changing. also, memoryfab has 4x100 wheels....
