Thattturned out pretty kool! I'm gonna admit that I didnt like the scallops a tiny bit A lot nicer now. For what its worth i'd see it much better with some deep dish rims with polished barrels and painted centers. But thats just my taste. Kool wagon! Cheers mate appreciate it, its far from finished and maybe gettin re-laquered properly satin this time tho. As for the wheels i have a pair of 9'' banded steels for the rear and a pair of 7's for the front that will get a 1'' band put in them. Then they will be chromed, with either bullet centre's or mini hub caps with tri bar spinners, i have both so can swap and change. Interior is getting re-done aswell and a set of proper coilovers.

I would say another inch for a 7"-rim is not necessary unless you want to work on the fenders too. The rear wheel house needs much more filling than the front... but i need the inch so the spinner caps wont stick out past the wheel. Coop: Its coming off the road soon as my second son has just arrived and the passat suspension is no good for a newborn. Then i've got to bare metal the roof before paint as it reacted bad last time. I'm itching to get it done but times been against me and i've got 2 customers scooters to paint first.

But sadly, not like snakeskin all over in a uniform reaction so that it looks deliberate, I take it?

Glad to see you are still plodding with this wagon and challenging the a/c VW norm, good work.
My rears on the daily are banded 2inch, They did rub a bit but I folded a trimmed the arch where needed, very hard to roll /fold the arch where it catches most. Also added a little camber, so easy for us with drum brakes

Cant afford to run 2 cars at the minute, but once were sorted work will start again!!! So Fuchs caps i got off Dez and US Spec rear tub fitted! ;D As i said work to do next is get the roof flaked and laced. Then it needs new sills and a little more welding

Not a car I'd expect to see wearing Fuchs but they work really well.

Not a car I'd expect to see wearing Fuchs but they work really well. Would love a set of real ones but i like these as they get people talking. My plans for its final shoes will be spot on but not a priority at the moment. She's looking sorry for herself just sat on the drive in desperate need for a wash
