or £8000 if you are a member on edition38.

if you just want a replacement 8v then the mk1golfoc is a good place for cheap lumps. if you want to go 16v theres normally a few cheap mk2 convertions knocking about on edition, although you'l have to find or make a down pipe for that.

looked so much better on the fuchs, the new one's don't suit it at all imo

this is not a cop out trust lol. i just came to a realization that after all the work i had put into this car i didn't want to rag the arse out of it by dragging it's arse down the road. so the beetle is getting the hydro's and this is getting what it deserves (16v lump, full body resto, and a few t...

long story short, this is going in to storage for a while so i can sort out my beetle and then i'll be taking this in a different direction to where it was going (no hydraulics for a start). couple of photo's of it going to it's new home http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f124/shabber/03042010432.jpg...

sounds like you got a bargain mate

you've been beaten to it mate, i've already done a deal for them with a much needed passanger door, sorry

if a spring can fall out and lock a wheel up it's not the fact that it's been cut that's the problem, it's the way it's been cut (too short in this case). I had a mk2 golf that had a proper shock and spring lowering kit, the springs were -80mm iirc. They used to drop out of the cups when it was jack...

and these car's you pull from ditches ect crashed because they had chopped springs on them? how could you possibly know that they crashed because they had those springs on? for them to end up in a ditch were they speeding? being driven erratically? or did a car full of nun's suddenly jump 5 foot in ...

never cut springs. they don't seat properly onto the strut, it's a very dangerous practice as long as a have the slightest shred of common sense cutting springs is no more dangerous than fitting lowering springs. if you are doing it on standard shocks it will shaft them quicker, just like fitting l...

could you not drill the stud out, re-tap and place in a new one with locktight? ...note, I've not operated under there yet and so don't know whats there, on the polo its a bolt that goes up in to a taped hole. Jay. this is different mate, it's a threaded bolt that comes through a hole in the chassi...
