ill sort some fresh ones out this week bud saves showing the old ones
quick zip around for intake holes

propshaft in

bit of welding just mount the axle

thought best beef the front up more ,we dont wont it dropping off now do we lol

bolted up


ive made this basic frame ,so i can move the rear axle in place were i need to weld ,so it will be sat approx 2.5 backwards shown in pic ,,then ill cut the prop to exstend it ,due to it been to short ,and be sorted  afterwards
diff just about bolted up
,,,

had to cut the track arms and a trail fit to get the rear wheel straight

then trail fit the wheel as u can see its not central this is because the propshaft too too short at the mo ,

then u can see the main rear hub mount is hitting the inner sill ,a bit of chopping welding here and there ill sort that

just picked up a nice high flow red band holly feul pump,this may do the joby,,,

top work mate this will indeed be the ultimate rocket :wink:

thought best start and make the mk4 arms fit into the mk1 body ,


i could have made the flush but as i wanted it lower had to slighty angle the plate


weld the inner rear arch ,i dont want it ripping off lol

then started on the spring mount

one cenred wheel lol
just wants the weight letting off,and a couple of slight adjustments lol

cheers gaz there are differnert ideas and ways ,but i wasnt really clued up ,so had to make best of a bad job ,,,ud be easyer useing either a mk3 scyro system ,or a later mk5 rear axle i reckon as there would be no grafting into the inner out sills,,,

bit more modifying 2day,,
made a rear damper mount ,,,
and saved on buying new dampers just just the oringle mk4 ones at a similar angle


lets say that buggars isnt moveing any were soon

damper angle ,gas dampers so should work well,,

slightly got the wheel down a fraction ,as i had to allow for cv movement as well as spring and arm movement,,

and fitted a mk4 passat hydrolic pedal for the clutch to work

and ive decied evern thow ive made the rear arms im going to use smaller box ,so then ill have a little more clearance between the spring and arm and also the rear subframe,,
