As I know a few of you are keen on this a little update……………………

Well summer is coming so I thought I would go to the garage and find the car that I put in there last September



Connected the battery up ,primed the pumps,cranked it over a few times to get the oil flowing around flick the ignition and pow!! fired first time(Good old Vw engineering)



Took the time to fit my perspex sliders whilst there!!



and renew the red oxide on my lower ball joint extenders anyone notice anything unusual????


Still got to fit alloy top mounts,4 point lower brace,Solid alloy rack mounts and Autocavan Brake Bar,but we are getting there,Castle Combe 25th April look out!!!

whats the purpose of flipping the track rod ends?

is it to do with lowering the suspension?

Yes exactly that,in the picture you can see that track rod,drivesahft and wishbone are nearly parallel to one another, if the track rod had not been flipped it would have sat at a crazy angle giving horrible bump steer and putting unnecessary stain on the ball joint end
