Loved your beetle, and this will be dope, too.
What are your plans for the tires?

Thanks man, I loved Zelda too, wish I could get another one and do it even better... Maybe one day!

Tyres will be 205/45/16's all around.

sad to c the beetle go

at least you kept the boxer engine

looks mighty clean

Yep, I figured I'm still with a boxer engine, so the Subaru is really just a cousin of Zelda...
Just can't wait until I get everything and it is all in.

In other news, air struts won't get here till the end of the month according to BagRiders. No problem there. Picking up centers today/tomorrow depending on when I get le phone call from the powder coaters. Either way, soon the wheels will be built and sealed, waiting to go on with the new struts and so forth when they arrive.

I am of the excite.

Here's one from the test fitting of the RS's from the front.

Have ordered some brass to go with the water traps and so forth to make sure that there is no water going into my valve manifold. I still haven't had a chance to check all the fittings, but I'll get out there on Saturday and make sure it is all fixed.

Until then.

This looks really promising.

Barrels have been painted black.

Sorry for Instagram photo! (Instagram: SebastienPeek).


Calling up powder coater place today, hopefully getting them back tomorrow.
Then starts the rebuilding. Weather here is pretty shitty, it's basically Winter now, so lots of cold nights playing with cars. My favourite!

Quick update.

Centers are getting powder coated this week, wheels will be rebuilt and have tyres by the end of this week.

It seems the air struts won't be here this week and I'll be expecting them early to mid next week. As soon as they arrive they'll be installed as everything else will be done and waiting for them.

Rainy nights painting barrels is pretty good. The wheels should look awesome. I can't wait!

People say sixteens will be too small, I disagree. Especially when the car will sit on the floor.



16x9's and 16x9.5's are what I'm aiming to run for the moment. They will probably end up 10's all around or 10/10.5's, we will see. Offsets are still yet to be determined. Will have better photos up tonight.

[Smeeeb]

So keen to see the new wheels. Will be fucking mental.

[SebastienPeek]

Thanks man!

Have also got shoes lined up for some more test fitting and rebuilding.
Hopefully have the car finished by the end of this month.
