mk1 golf caddy/homemade 24v v6 4wd turbo

[powernut]

could do , lot easyer and safer doing them the other way , as most band them with a decent powered mig welder , but as we know mid steel rusts,and goes weak at the sides of the weld, hence id tig them more penitration accross a area of steel ,, mig is fine dont get me wrong and strong and holds fine due to amunt of surface area,,off for 16inch tyres today , so 16s it is lol

 

[suj]

i did not understand one word you said...know jack crap about welding (had to do some for uni, some research etc. should of came to you )

i think 16's look better anyway

 

[powernut]

right mamaged to fit 225 40 16 on the fronts and rears , extra bit of rubber , and finish the rears off, should be wide enoegh

check front wing clearance everything clears

tempory rear fit

Brilliant, yeh bet is has been a bit warm in the recent heatwave. Love the way you say you casually added a sunroof, most of us would be scared to cut a hole in the roof!
