Cheers Rob, I'm hoping that once the backs done I'll be able to get the chassis notch as I don't think it's going to be low enough where it is now. Here's a quick iPhone pic I took yesterday... And yes I know the car is filthy lol. http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l628/cr-photography/06cf6fff.jpg

I'm hoping so mate.

Not sure if 19s are gonna be too big though will have to see how it goes I guess. Want to have a decent rolling height aswell as dumping it on the floor when it's stopped. We'll see I guess.

Cheers Mark. Not got the rears done due to getting access to my mates workshop due to large quantities of steel in the way. We're going to fit them on Friday now (good Friday) as it'll be nice and empty by then so we can get the car right into the workshop and my mate dan can do his welding magic :D...

Next step get the rears fitted then refurbish the 19s hopefully it won't be too long.

Fox - really don't know what shows I'm going to this year.. Got to cheque my calendar for when I'm out photographing and when I'm free for shows. Only show i've committed to thus far is inters.

Cheers guys

Obviously the front will come up a touch but hopefully a chassis notch will sort that out ;)

So at long last we have some progress! Switches and gauges mounted (quickly trimmed in a bit of black leather until I pic the final colour). http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l628/cr-photography/2ebed03f.jpg And got the front struts fitted today so now we have proper lows! http://i1127.photobucket...

Get the wet and dry out and polish it. You know it makes sense!

Well providing it's not plastic.

Well god knows what was wrong but it's working now, ended up remaking every connection just to be sure and Hoorah it's working!!!

Just got to find more time to fit the bags!

No didn't know that.

So if I connect a bag to each my front and rear lines then leave the pump on until it stops I guess??

Then they should work??

Nope, got an issue with the Valves not working so currently trying to get hold of Rayvern so I can get some replacements... Not a happy bunny can't do anything until I've got a working set of valves.

When I had my b5.5 I looked into chrome and black but I was never happy with the way they were finished... Unless you've won the lottery and buy a mattig one that has proper metal slats like the original!

Mark it looks outstanding... Hope you've voted for yourself as car of the month! I'd already nominated you lol. You're a brave man taking on the r36 grill but it's quite obviously paid off. I'm Hoping to try and get down to early edition to meet up and have a chat but will have to see how things pan...

Awesome progress Rob. Looks really good tucking the 18s right up

Hopefully I'll be in a similar position as you tomorrow.

Thanks Rob I can't wait

Mark, thanks for the info I'll wait til the rears let go I think, the previous owner of the car only had new ones fitted shortly before I bought the car.... What sort of pressures do you run for normal driving??

Sorry guys been a bit busy with other things but this weekend is the one.

Hopefully have the front end done tomorrow then over to a mates workshop to do the rears. I'll sort some pictures when I've something interesting to show you (i.e. The front end on the floor )

Wow!

Those seats are ammmaaazzzzing love some of the interior touches too.

What's the specs on the 17s mark? Sits real nice on smaller diameter wheels.

Lets see some more pictures Mark

Here's one I found

Ended up having a rather dreary sunday, wife was hungover and thus I didn't accomplish much... I've booked Wednesday off work so hopefully more updates then.

Had the suggestion of running the airline at the front along side the abs wiring so there should already be a grommet... Going to check in the morning.

@ the mods beginning.

Wheels look really nice but think a tap or two with the lowering stick would help. Or maybe colour coding the lowers

Do you run the same spacers with both sets of wheels??

May be worth checking them over and making sure they're sitting right (central over holes) it's shocking how such little things can cause issues.

Paintwork is looking awesome though

Gauge pod looks really good mate!

Can't believe the change in compressor style... I was hoping to add the second later on but now I'm gonna have to wait even longer to buy a matching pair!

Keep up the updates

Looking good mate... Can't wait to see the RHs on.. Very jealous great buy!

Like the sentiment with the plate too

You're gonna have to get it pretty low to get the most out of those 35 profiles...

Remember "arch gap makes Jesus cry"

Love the old Audi wheels. Always look smart on passats.

Any plans for them or keeping them silver?
