To go low really low a lot has to be changed, details, details

Closed the hole from the new fuel hose;


New spare wheel tire going in to follow the lines of the rear tub;

25cm lift wil need some special shock towers;





mock-up inside wheel arch, will trim it down to fit the notch 8)


Big ass 4x4 shocks :shock: ;


The result of all the hard work, can change wheel without having to unbolt the shock;


A few welding nights and then starting on the front.

Collecting parts 8) (damn expensive **** :lol



The new horse shoe, extended 8mm for shock clearance



Airbag brackets welded thanks to Ron@http://www.deboxer.nl



Also designed/build the rear engine tin to close the gap with the raise, beetle tin and three-piece rail so the fuel tank can still come out



Most of the fabrication parts on the rear are ready, time now to weld it all up and start on the front :msn4:
