i have decided as of today. rip the engine out and front end off. all brake lines and such. then re-spray the bay and the out side on the rear arch. wind it up about 40 mm so that its driveable. hide the lighting loom and engine loom and sort of go from there. may even get a different engine in there if my new business pics up enough. (im told to keep the 16v)
You, winding the suspension up!? No way.

It can be more fun to get the height somewhere decent enough that you can give it some beans without any issue. Mine's low but not slammed, nothing interferes with anything and it can even go over speed bumps with ease.

If you didn't put the valver back in, what would you have in it's place?
