Got it buttoned up yesterday around 4:30p... everything is working nicely thus far, but man that was alot of work!! It was snowing today so I didnt get any pictures  but Ill be sure to post them soon.... It doesnt look narrowed, it just looks normal! That was alot of work for "normal", but in my mind it was well worth the effort. Now the tires sit just inside the fenders, much like the front  cool |

No offense meant Zach. But remember, it is only original paint ( and decals) once ! And I can't drive mine until I finish it !  |

Just giving you a good ribbing Richard! All in good fun I snapped this right after filling up, and right before heading down to Phoenix for the Copperstate show Saturday afternoon. The rear tires tuck nicely under the fenders now, and I am very happy about that!! Only issue now is that the rear torsion bars must be re set, because the feder gap increased a whole bunch!! |

Look at what I found when I got out of work last night! Good thing the GTV sports a good working heater, but the drive was still pretty hairy! |

Im really diggin how my car looks with the EMPI bumper guards The VWOA ones look like fence posts compared to these! And you can also see my newly aquired rear fender gap due to the narrowed trailing arms  At least the tires are where they should be, I can't see them when I look in my side mirror anymore!! And yes, the car is filthy dirty! Havent had a chance to clean it up since driving it in the snow a couple weeks ago |

A new(er) pair of Michelin XZX 165's... Current plan is to have the rear wheels widened 1/2" toward the inside, and buck up for 185/70 XWX's... someday.

I'd really stay away from the Porsche rods, they're a ticking time bomb.

Thanks!! Cars were meant to be driven and enjoyed, no matter how rare, valueable, whatever. I snapped this one a few minutes ago |
