Nice one mate. Looking forward to the progress. ;D
Might be a daft question but are those tyres the right profile as they seem lost in those arches?

185 60's the problem is the springs are about twice as long as they need to be!

yeah, alan put new tyres on the car towards te end of last year...

As stated elsewhere, those tyres will mean that the car is undergeared. From stock these beasts had obscenely balloon-like 80-series tyres. I used to run 70-series tyres on 13in KN Jupiters on mine... a happy compromise, although still more sidewall than I'd have liked.  |

Sad to see the Shuv go - but this Skoda is a most excellent purchase, well done that man!  To be honest, if you can get it to look like this...  combined with the go-faster bits and bobs under the rear hatch then it would be spot-on in my view, can't really think of any wheels at the moment that would suit it aswell as those minilights - except perhaps some badd-ass wide steelies (painted white me thinks) 130 p.c.d is the later Beetle fitment isn't it? So Ercos won't fit then  |

Just need to stretch and square off the doors now, fill and find a replacement for the rear pillar vent. |
| |
 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Yep nice car but it does have arch gaps that a tractor would be proud of!
Am I getting old if I look at Skodas and go ' oooh nice!'?

Just need to stretch and square off the doors now Use Rapide doors? I know the roofline is different so you'd need to do some cutting and shutting with the frames at lleast. But a two-door saloon would look the nuts! |
