It's all coming together but i'm going to use a MK2 escort atlas rear axle and just going to get the propshaft shortened, they will go on to existing leaf springs with the U bolts but going to double them up to stiffen the rear up a bit

Got an 02M 6 speed box with R32 gears which i'm welding up so all the power goes to the transfer box

So we decided to get rid of the gay ass VW top mount setup and chopped them out, got rid of every little bracket and screw in the bay too, welded some holes up but ran out of wire until next time i'm down.

Ha good skillz 

Would be my last choice of axle but its easy so meh.

You going to the trouble of making it rwd so why not go multi link rear axle?

I agree not the best choice of axle, but it's so simple on paper.. literally just bolts on i will be making it more solid with an anti tramp kit and custom brackets but the whole reason for doing it is because it's so straight forward!

DH is going to have a fit when he sees this haha!
