Right On Brendan!
Good to see the progress you've made, it looks like it's coming along nicely.
How long will it be before you get your firewall finished?
I'd like to see it when it's done

If I only knew when it would be done.:silly:

Maybe a few more weeks, it's too cold to do anything else here. as soon as the thermometer hits 40 degrees where I live everybody disappears. Turn on the space heater and turn up the volume and get busy working on my car.

bushings fitting? rim to brake clearance.

Genious,
What type of bushings did you use on the trailing arms (urethane, oem, vw or porshce?) I have the same set up Im switching my pan to a 69+.
Rim clearance I know your rims will clear but do you know if 15 cookie cutters or fuchs will clear calipers ( mine are 91 porsche 911 c2 blk brembos).
thks
Wolfy
your ride is looking awsome

I used some VW urathane bushings. They drop right in.

I really don't know about wheel fitment. I just got lucky with the wheels I bought. I tried to put my VW 15" wheel over the front brakes and it wouldn't fit over the rotors. My front rotors are 11" and I think the rears are bigger. I will double check tonight and take some measurements for you.
Brendan....

Thanks Bro

Thanks for info on bushings. Now for my brembo calipers to fit I guess Ill need a minimum of 16" fuchs and Ill rule out the 15 cookie cutters?
