Nice. Hope you like it.
If you don't, and decide to sell/ swop- please give me a shout. I'd quite like a Polo engined version. Ta

Unfortunately not. However, it is somewhat sedate in its acceleration. True to form. Phil

my wife uses the trampant for running about in, since using it the boot hinges have broke, and the passenger window has broke, i gave it a service and bought some Hungarian reproduction boot hinges. They worse thing I've ever seen haha then spent a few hours modding them juts so they fitted. I struggled more with finding the glass, i have a friend who works in germany during the week so he is trying to find me one, So ti keep the water out i made a perspex one i did a trial fit with the banded steels, they rubbed, so i brought e-bay's finest 5mm spacers they still rub .... so i cut the springs to make me feel better I'm a bit gutted the banded steels don't fit as thats the look i wanted . I don't like the standard wheels and 2 of them are close to the limit, then i remembered i had this swapped. proving everything looks better with banded steels on end result for the trabby I don't like it, front looks better a bit lower, but the wheels are too big, don't suit it, the rears are reversed camber and rub the arch. i need to chop the rear springs and find some low ET wide, 13" 4x100 different wheels cheap ,,,,,,

I know it needs to be lower. I'm looking at some alleycats next week. Air would be ace but it's a budget build so it more chopped springs then air struts

Probably better to adapt some cheap coilovers than cutting the springs.

What you need for the back end is some camber correctors. You can get them from LDM Tuninng or Trabantwelt. Or I have seen some technical diagrams on the net. so if you know someone with a lathe you could get some made.
