It is mate, you can't see it in those pics though as the bracket bit is on the inside from the angle I took the pic.

Thanks anyway though.

Aww shucks thanks Matt. Don't think it'll be for this month. More to come yet

When they're polished and the tyres are on

They're getting there slowly... All four are stripped, one is fully flatted ready for polishing and I'm half way through flatting the second wheel. Will be slow going but I'm hoping it'll be worth it.

Thought I'd add a few proper pics from when we were fitting the rears. We weren't happy with rayverns suggestion of cutting out the lower dimple that was used to locate the spring. Admittedly he included a plate to weld over but it still would of meant removing a flanged hole from a suspension compo...

Thanks guys

Really appreciate all the feedback. Going to have to get a chassis notch done at some point though as it currently doesn't sit level at the front when fully aired out.

Hopefully get the pictures sorted over the weekend and have some progress on the wheels

pressure switch they usless tbh,always switched on when no need to,i swithc my compressor on manual and is much better coz its on when i want and need to and i can go for higher pressure.looking forward to see her rolling :mrgreen: Agreed i've got mine on a switch too. Means I can choose when it sh...

Keep going Rob. Trust me it's worth it in the end... Even though I need a chassis notch now lol.

The one on schmidts is pretty awesome and stanced really well, the bottom one has some horrid reverse rake going on but a nice collection of parts... All the gear and no idea maybe.

Big fan of your b5 mate as you know

Looks really good, Certainly sits well over them!

Really liking the new look. Audio install looks really good. I am rather jealous of your s6 seats!

IMHO the holstens look good but can't help thinking on a car with soo many special touches/mods that a finish other than standard silver is deserved.

WELLDONE :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: Nice work Chris are you pleased with the Rayvern kit I look forward to parking up next to your car mate :hyst it will look a different motor once you have those polished hoops on keep up that good work :D Mark Cheers Mark, ho...

Thanks guys

Hopefully won't be long until the 19s are done and fitted. Pick up the rest of my wheel polishing goodies on Tuesday. Hoping to get them finished over the following bank holiday weekend with a bit of luck.

Got the air ride sorted out at long last!

Quick iPhone pic until I sort the ones out off my camera...

Well today is the day... Going over to my mates workshop this afternoon to fit the rears. Pics to follow :D Also I've found another insentive for polishing my wheels.... http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk0jexLAiw1qdpm0lo1_1280.png?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&Expires=130354...

There is alot available for b6s but you have to do some digging To find them... Vw parts hold the set side skirts/front lips IMO from votex (as on my b6) and the r-line kit looks smart too (look at indywindys thread). Grilles are plentiful from fk, Jom etc. Personally I think you have to be careful ...

Looks real tidy... Great colour too.

Keep us updated on your progress!

Looks awesome as always Mark.

Just have to remember once mine is finished never to park next to you as my car won't get a look in! Lol

If you get stuck I think ou can get the compressed air from halfords.

First seat looks awesome... Wasn't 100% sure on the colour from
The first pics but I am a fan now!

Wheels are now fully stripped... A mate is trying to sort some polishing discs out for me but until then it's going to be slow going working through the various grades of wet and dry that I have.

Thanks Craig. Just done a quick trial fit of the front wheel. Bearing in mind the wheel will sit a bit further into the arch due to the tyre things are hopeful lol. Once the refurbs done and tyres are on I'll possibly look at running some small spacers to get it sitting where I want. http://i1127.ph...

As said I would personally not stack spacers or spacers and adaptors.

There's enough places now that will make you spacers or adaptors to your measurements... Or at least the nearest millimetre. Or failing that you buy them slightly too thick and have them machined down.

I'm so glad I won't have to do this anymore... Hit the switches then slide the trolley jack under














I'll get my coat.

Thanks... I think. Lol.

Got a couple of days off work so today i've made a start on stripping the powder coat from the wheels... Thus far one is fully stripped, other front is 90% there and the two rears are 50% done.

Hopefully have them finished tomorrow morning.

Looking gpod mate.

Get some more pics up

It's possible on 19s just got to see how offsets and widths work out!



This car was a big influence in getting the 19s although due to the rear arch line I think I might of left the back up a touch.
