Annabel the track car, new pics 20/4
 

Got a little project for the wife to take on track







lots to do but ill keep this upto date best i can :)

iv already popped the dent out of the rear quarter, got an axle for it and a new door for it also fixed a leaky rocker cover

not done much today stripped all the old parts of the axle that need replacing and my 60mm springs have turned up so should hopefully be dropped this weekend so long as it doesnt snow :D

what are your plans

my father in law and me are making a custom cage for it, and im looking for some buckets for it atm, not sure what route me and the wife are goin with it yet as its gonna be a daily driver for me to save the fuel in my T5

Thats my Annabel lol

ma wife :p

nice project buddy, love black mk 1s.

cheers itll be sweet once iv straightened it out

looks good mate, black mk1's look the dogs danglies :y:

well today i thought id fit the new door seen as i only worked half a day :D so i set about ripping the old door off with help from the father in law all was looking good until i offered the new door up and realised that in the accident it had had the a pillar was damaged, que loads of swearing a huge hammer cutting sections out and 2-3 hours of hard labour and the door was fitted :D

tomorrow il start rebuilding the axle i think

well a new day a new issue, started stripping the suspension down to lower it 60mm, this would have been great if i had been sent the right parts, over 3 hours of freeing off seized and fucked bolts i and my father in law came to the conclusion we had been sent the wrong parts as they dont fit at all and you can pull the springs outwith your hand when they are fitted, not a happy bunny :(

whoop whoop front is finally lowered. had the day off work so took myself off to r-tec finally got somewhere that knew what they were doing and ta da shes low at the front :D, im in the middle of fitting the new parts to the axle and painting it so that should be on by the weekend
