Re: Back in beige
That looks absolutely lovely Jamie - congratulations. That re-build thing is an emotional roller-coaster eh? So worth it though. And those headlamps look brilliant. Good use of VW rubber

Re: Back in beige
Great pictures, apologies for being ignorant of your thread. I have only just stumbled onto this because of the Barry post. Car looks amazing. I love the pictures, I am very much an enthusiast amateur with the camera, I really enjoy seeing different styles, I enjoy trying to replicate the shots and learn as I go.
Cheers
Tom

Re: Back in beige
Long time coming Jamie. Well done on sticking it out through the frustrations and just in time for Summer.
Re: Back in beige
I like the stance just the way you have it in the photos....they can look a bit wozzery and "trying too hard" when they get close to being "slammed". Also, some suspension travel is your friend, as well as your L5/S1 vertebrae's. Older guys know this!
Do you see any forthcoming rapprochement with El Dude....can that story be told?
Lovely car, great perseverance. John in CT.

Re: Back in beige
Car looks fantastic…………..congratulations on all the effort you have put into it. You must be really happy now.
Re: Back in beige
Looks fab and I also have my car set to a sencible ride height, rides great and I don't need to slow for the yumps and bumps.

Re: Back in beige
Jez at GCS/Carrera Performance in Horsham can deal with the ride height and alignment - not so sure about the corner weights?jamie wrote:So the back still needs to come down. And the front.
Can anyone recommend anyone for a four-wheel alignment / corner balance? Preferably in the London, South or South East area...
