thanks for posting more pics. I really don't understand why this forum has so many showoff threads with only one picture posted.

The car is looking good man.

well, these are my issues. *from my theories that became other theories, to present and how i'm dealing with them.

but i just found the wheels i want which is bigger; meaning the angle of the axles would be better (hopefully) so... dunno what to do.

hits first before anything else.

i want this car!
and your boys MK4 w the A8 wheels i have them.

i wish that car was on air, sits perfect but i want them to tuck

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?

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.

[nap83]

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

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.

it looks like it's sitting on its back

(problem with a lot of bagged golfs)

on the first pic (*removed); yes

[nap83]

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

[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.

[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
