Suspension

Found a wrecked Cabriolet at the junkyard and to our surprise, it had Bilstein struts with H&R springs! Talk about great find! Brought it home, cleaned it up, put it back together with new bump stops and strut tower bushings. Looks new. Saved a lot of money :) In addition, we were able to install Arch's (the MKIIs) used, but in good shape, rotors, calipers and pads.

Patiently Awaiting Return of Our ABA

Got around to removing the dash and knee bar for installation of manual transmission pedal assembly (from automatic).
-Installed clutch cable and manual transmission spedometer cable, as well as removal of the airbag computer (race rabbits dont need airags....).
The weather was nice and hot as usual (with it being the middle of August and all!), but was still able to get the work done (a big thank you to Dasani water and Monster energy drinks! Ha. )

Sold the Flares and Bumpers...

Kind of sad to see parts of a car go away, but we didn't need them and they went home with someone planning to put them to good use on a Rabbit... nice!

No More Fender Flares and Bumpers!

What a difference... already giving insight into how neat this Cabby is going to end up looking...
