Err, got some second hand front coils and chopped them 2 coils and used some BMW E36 (I think) piggies in the rear
Drops it 3.5" at the front and about 2" at the back. I did have some cavvy springs in the back but the ride was, as researched, horrible. Its not perfect now, the front is a bit bouncy, but it'll have to do til some money comes in for the proper kit.

Ok, so.. Got the nicer looking Porsche brakefluid warning light fitted in place of the manky black VW one that is only one line and not red. I think it looks soa much niver, actually like an important warning light rather than a blanking plate with a logo on :)

Then, started to bend some ally..
From this..

To these!

They are ok, not amazing but they didn't cost anything :)

Then, in readiness for Beach Buggin' and after loosing yet another hub cap, I refurbed my wheels for a more american commercial smexy look. :)

Next, is getting the oil pressure sensor to work. Will be lots of fun getting the sensor fitted.

Got some merc wheels the other day and put them on the back with some 235/70R15 tires. Didn't think they would clear the trailing arms but they do so now- Mad stance.

Cheers. I just want it to be 110% different from other T25's, don't see a lot done in this style. I like a bit of big bumper and AMG wheel action from time to time but this van is not the time or place :)
I just like the crazy american hotrod/truck theme I have started and I'm gonna roll with this one for a while :D

Diesel is an engine not a fuel.
