Sorry I need to pick my dropped jaw up from the floor.

Alright Garrett, like that? I didn't call you Gurt. So you got me over here now too. Lets just finish this thing. And update with some new pictures.

welcome Anthony and thank you again for coming out to help. Ill update with some pics by the end of the week. I wanted to finish the brackets and get some more welding done before. I have a 3 page list of stuff Id like to get done to finish.probably half of that needs to get done before SOWO just to drive it.

Thank you every one for all your kind words. The 19's and 20's were just test fitted for size reference. I will be sticking with the 19s as stated before when I can afford to change the wheels. I am going to be driving on the 18's for a while.

I got my lights ordered and the car back on stands. The sub frame out for the umpteenth time. Ill finish welding things up and get some different bolts for the sub frame cause I need longer ones. Its a long list of stuff I need to order or get locally.

Upper bag mounts are in and welded. Im hoping to have another nice update this weekend.

just for fun I wanted to do a remote shot since I remember it was a popular thing to do 3 years ago.
attn mk4 forum




back side of the bag mounts I wanted to show the angle of me rolling the back side up but its not as good as the next. (passenger side)


little better angle. (driver side)


the front side of the passenger side bag bracket.


I still have some detail work to do to both sides but here is the driver side.



Ill leave you with something shiny

Unreal, some serious work being put into this thing. Interested to see the final product. I really liked it at the coils stage with the chrome AMG wheels though!

I really enjoyed it at that stage as well. I just cant leave well enough alone. I wanted to do air ride since the start and should have saved my money and just done it from the start.

(48 days left)

I don't have picture worthy progress today. I had an enormous amount of help from Ian-K! thank you again for helping/doing the harness.
I was able to fit the rear bumper and learned the amount of pressure in the rear bumper supports.They were like a shock inside of the mount. They were cut,welded, and the bumper on in the factory mounting holes etc. I was able to finish capping the passenger side end of the frame rail (nothing fancy just closing the box tubing). The rest of the fuel door brackets, inside fender, and misc metal that still needed to be removed before fitting the tubs is out. The compressor mounts were started and the frame section cubby hole was started. Ill take some shots of that when completed. I have a tremendous amount of work left stay tuned.......

So happy to see someone actually take a volkswagen and REALLY cutting it up to get it low. The mini truck scene (as you know) makes the normal cutting most vw people do to "lay frame" look like a joke. More people like you are needed around here Keep up the good work.
