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

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 *** 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.
Greetings from Holland, mycha
 
Collecting parts 8) (damn expensive **** :lol:)



The new horse shoe, extended 8mm for shock clearance :p



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:
 
I think I'm not the only one who is spending a lot of time in details, details and more details! :lol: Great work!!! Looking forward to see more updates!
Best regards
