Das Volks Vintage Volkswagen Gruppe

got the passenger side done today total brain fart on how todo it. i tried lowering the rear control arm instead of jacking it up. tried to get 2 flats down on the torsion bar but all it did was lift the whole car till it rolled off the jack stands. so i went for 1 flat and that was schetchy as well. but it went from 9 1/2 inches to 11 in the rear which makes it even with the front. stopped by the local locksmith and got 2 keys made he had the blanks in stock

anyone have pics of where to mount a tach ? im thinking where the speaker goes but would rather not cut the dash

got the drivers side done today 1 notch down before after . raising it up softend the suspension alot used to feel every bump in the road now not so much

hmm

put the tach in today going into the speakers spot. made a template out of cardboard then copied it to some 20 gauge sheet metal and cleaned up the hole

got it all fitted then powder coated flat black cut out the croos piece while it was baking got it all in place and made a simple C clamp to hold it in place and will wire it up tomorrow

Elegant simplicity. Love it!

sweet!

well i spent all day today rolling 83.5lbs of coin. looks like a set of new wheels in my future.

You know you can take them to a bank that has a change counting machine....

When you take the rolls ,they're gonna open them up and put them in a machine to verify the amount anyway.

X2 what Glenn wrote. Sorry!

they charge 10 percent for the change machine or if you put $100 bucks into an account its free. my bank accepts rolled coin for free so im saving the 10 percent charge. im thinking of getting the Empi 8 spoke wheels anyone ever use them or hear of problems with them?

My Credit Union has a free machine for customers and they have rates higher than commercial banks on all accounts.

im thinking of doing the TD bank and putting a 100 into an account for the free service but there machines recently failed an field test and were ripping people off so im gonna do a little research

Check out your local credit union... they will have better rates and deals.

NEFCU does it for free if you're a member

Better banking because they're not a bank

^^ What Bman said. I work on banking equipment (vaults/drive ups/etc).

I'm in a Credit Union but interest rates now are a joke, you're better off spending it before it depreciates. On vintage VW's of course !

finally got around to making a shelf for the rear speakers and got it installed and wired up

cool!

lifes better with tunes!

new wheels came in today on somedecent used 195/65r15s. seems to ride a bit softer
