Up All Night

[vdubLalo]

car looks good!

[nap83]

took a snap after a much needed wash & wax. it has been filthy since h20 and all the grease marks on the wheels from taking it off and on was bothering me.

acquired a notch for the axle along with notches for both tierods. sat me a lot lower when dumped, a couple of mms from hitting the CL lip on the ground.



well, other than that i'm shopping for chrome tri-spokes with the right offsets and redoing my trunk. at the moment i'm in the process of replacing the control arms since my ds one took a shit. driving has been a pain.

ugh your lower than me lol, i really need to get the welder out and make some things happen on my cabby

[nap83]

extra large pipe.

air chiseled / air hammered the bajeezus out of the the frame for the tierods. i'm gonna start working on the rear beam this weekend when i get a chance. and i will modify the strut mounts when i get a chance.

any progress on the cabby?

it looks like it's sitting on its back

(problem with a lot of bagged golfs)

[hinrichs]

not really ive just been driving it till i got my bmw back and i need to redo my notch for the axle, im prolly gonna get some bj extenders as well

what are you doing to the rear? i have some drop plates comming for myne just to see, i just cant figure out what to do about my pinch welds yet

[nap83]

i want to figure out the fronts first and get it as low as i can before doing anything to the rear. the rear is decently low as we speak.

hammering the rear beam flat will get me about half an inch.

[nap83]

i wouldnt think i need a flipkit and balljoint extensions anymore, hopefully. made sure those tierod notches cleared like a mofo.

on the first pic (*removed); yes

[hinrichs]

so you just hammared away for the tie rods? no notch for them?

im still on my pinchwelds tho, just getting ready for whenever they come off or get smashed down

[dehate]

yo nap, you got a pic of your tie rod notches? and axle notch on the passenger side? i'm about to do mine, but was wondering what yours looks like. and what did you do with the fuel lines in the passenger side frame rail?

[Mkv Flipp]

[EThirtySicks]

yes, i was going to get pipes welded in but it just literally needed about an inch so my friend just air hammered, chiseled, smoothed until i cleared.

my axle notch is factory fresh but it took almost 4 hours to do, --- thats including f&cking around other sh&t the whole time.

here; they're cell pics. i'll take better pics when i get it back on the lift this weekend.


ps frame and rod notch


rod notch ds --- didn't clear on the first go when i dumped (the ps did)

so...

more air hammering and smoothing. again, i would've preferred a notch but time wise it only needed a little to clear. i just hit everything with rubberized undercoating to keep rust at bay.

hope this helped.
