Thanks man.

But after last night this could be taking a twist. I went to look at a mk3 VR6 with the idea of buying it for a full conversion into this, but it was near immaculate and doesn't need much work for test. So if i can scramble money together in the next few weeks il have it hopefully (fingers crossed) and the vento may become a runaround, staying as it is of course and il work on the VR6 then.

Ye a nice twin pipe flush with the bumper will look well, ive still gotta camber the back of mine. If you get the grinder out, pull off the arches and cut the panel behind it, so its only the plastic arch that rubs when its seriously low. Did the same on my jetta.

boys scrape splitters, real men scrape subframes!!

Hurry and get that back box on..

I know i know, it'd be simple if it was just a back box, but its SS 3inch pipe with cross axle box goin all the way to the cat so i need to make an extension piece to fit from the golf to vento, but this week hopefully.
