After 2 years in garage, my mk1 will be back on the road.. July2011


Bought a used complete rear subframe ( unit imported from Japan)


Installed wheels to it.


It comes with the adjustable suspension


DIY the project at my home, fuel tank, exhaust pipe already taken out, lots of WD40 was sprayed to all the bolts..


Last sunday work, removing the old subframe, this is a mk1 so the old hydrolastic pipe still attached with it.


Under the body, no hole on it so just clean n a fresh coat of paint and underseal should be ok before installing the good condition subframe.

Thanks for viewing..
