I loved your beetle, and i love what you're doing now.
There's a certain caliber you're setting for yourself. It's just great watching your progression. I'm all about slammed cars, BUT the comment of "literally catching air off a bridge connection" made me realize how much I miss not puckering my butthole before launch haha.
Anyways, keep it up!

I was at the point where I was too scared to drive it over 30mph over bridges haha. But I spent money on low parts and didn't want to waste it by raising it up haha.

fuck me this thing is gorgeous

Hopefully one day I'll think the same. I have tons of plans that probably won't happen but we'll see.

such a quality work.

looks great elijah

Thanks man! If you are who I think you are, I've seen you a couple times around town, once driving in Lexington and then I saw your car parked in the parking lot of a Chinese Buffet and Little Caesar's in Nicholasville. I put a small LL card in your door handle or something... Man.. that was a long time ago.

Got the new fender on. Learned to never buy repro fenders again but the price was too hard to pass up. It fits, but not like a glove.



I also tucked the front bumper. Every write up I saw on doing this, people had holes in the buttom of the bumper where they could detach the shock and the bumper would pull of the shock. Mine had no holes. So I detached the shocks from the body and then removed them and drilled and compressed.

Now the stupid part. I put the shocks back on the bumper and slid the shocks into the mounting holes. The gap to put my hand up in to get the bolts started was so small I couldn't get my pinky through.

What worked was removing the lower valence, installing the shocks to the body without the bumper, then sliding the bumper studs into the mounting holes on the shocks, then reaching up from under the car through the holes next to the tow hooks, with my hand inside the bumper, and threading the nuts onto the bumper studs. It was awful. I don't see how people tuck it any further without drilling the holds and pressing the bumper in, while driving against a wall with tires in between. But... I got it.



Other cool stuff I got:

IS Valence in great condition, other than the cracking paint, with fog lights, with solid brackets, and the body metal the valence and bracket attaches to (which I don't need) for $200 shipped. Got really lucky on ebay.





I feel like I'm finally making some progress.

damn your photos are good

Good photos, quality stuff here, but you said "Stance is how well the tires/wheels fit, not how low the oil pan is." In this case the wheels and tires don't fit into the wells and it could use a modest 2-3 inches of drop. I love the work but it could be a little lower and no one said the oil pan had to be on the floor.

I think great stance is more in the owners eyes. Dudes with lifted trucks think they have great stance just as much the ones scrapping everywhere. If the couple inches is what he wanted, then he's killing it.

I know I know, but that wheel/tire combo is fucking begging to be snug in that wheel well its practically asking for it.
