It's going to be a monster when finished, you decided what air you're going to be running?

When it's out of hibernation you should bring it up to one of the Dub Preservation meets at Squires :wink:

Do it Brett!MK3 Love baby! :laugh:

Im hoping so Dom.Air wise im not one for buying a full kit but im goung the same way as a guy called C00k on some welsh forum and making my own kit.Using bag over coilovers on the front and the sleeve kit on the rear.I will use a mix of digi and manual management too.
Im going to notch the chassis so it sits low when parked but the main objective for it is purely practicality,it all well and good having air but you seem to find people run aired out cars at standard ride height when driving.I want to run at my current height all the time and then when the road gets tricky just lift it up.No good having a load of power if you cant use it. :cool:

When its all done im taking it everywhere so i will deffo come to DP @ Squires mate.
Are you off to Elsecar?If so i will try and collar you this year,stop hiding in that tent lol

I was parked right at the top of the multistorey! But yeah far too cold lol TBH i only went for my wheels. :grin:
Elsecar is the next one for me.Love that show.


Oh and Leigh....never. :evil: The chassis on this is far too healthy to be chopping tunnels out of it ha ha.
I will be keeping the engine im building for my next project though so you never know....that might be. :grin:

So what your saying is as I've travelled the whole east coast of Australia in 3 months you have done f**k all still on the car other than receive parts ordered last year and get some one to draw it for you.... Slacking my friend  :kiss:
