loads to do and hopefully over the next few months i can make some head way.

now my passat is sorted and on the road will be able to get back on with the fastty.
loads to do and i am not going to miss bug jam this year, even if it has to be trailered its going

yep the door handles are mx5 with the lock bit cut off.
reckon i could get it lower if i fitted 13" rims,

dan, i think the wheels are called: speed .i dont think you can get them anymore as the mag i got them out of were selling off the last few sets awhile ago. nope its not a drag car, its just for plain old driving about in.at the moment its dropped to the max but this is were the raised beam now come...

heres a another teaser pic.

more soon.

right here it is , on its wheels. http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv31/fassty/IMGP0265.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv31/fassty/IMGP0282.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv31/fassty/IMGP0288.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv31/fassty/IMGP0272.jpg http://i667.photobucket.co...

if they fit i think the 914 torsion bars would be the way to go.i am very lucky to work somewhere were i can get all sorts off welding and fabrication done (i try to do most of it myself but there is always someone who knows more and who is willing to help).with guidance we came up with an easy way ...

914 torsion bars,never thought of that.i have narrowed the type3 ones, im not sure if its going to work this way thats why i have not posted how i have done it yet.i have spoke to people who make springs and they say they cant see why it wont work. would rather test it first.besides the torsion bars...

keep getting little bits done so it,s moving forward. http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv31/fassty/IMGP0195.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv31/fassty/IMGP0196.jpg the wings i have are odd, the front indicator holes are differant, hence the patch. http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv31/fa...

got most of the welding done today. http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv31/fassty/IMGP0191.jpg and now theres plenty of clearance for the wheels. http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv31/fassty/IMGP0183.jpg also got the one peice door windows,brand new still in the box with all the seals. http://i66...

the front end is exactly how it was with all the strengthening its just got the wheel tubs in.got the other wheel tub welded in and put the front susspension back on along with the wheels, it looks the bollox. see what you think. http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv31/fassty/IMGP0181.jpg http://i66...
