I'm going to get back to work, but had to share this one. After the manual shows putting one of the too long ball studs from Bag D in the rear arm, and in the center hole: https://i.imgur.com/ZshK9m7.jpg Nothing actually goes in the center hole at all. Sway bar goes in the hole closest to the Stealt...

I set the RPM camber gauge at 0°.


There is only the slightest sliver of negative camber with the rear arms parallel to the chassis.


I set my Rear Camber turnbuckles to 0.45" or 11.49mm, to get there.

Given my passion for vintage VW's, I will be looking for a full body vw bug body that fits the wheelbase and width... if anyone has any ideas please let me know👍 Found this beetle body with a 260mm wb, I have no idea what the quality is like though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/204140700792 It’s not wi...

Keep up the great work!

Appreciate the encouragement, and glad to hear you'll be able to get some use out of all this. Thanks!

Chassis nearly done. https://i.imgur.com/6pdcitk.jpg In Bag D are (4) small 4-40 nuts, and (2) large 4-40 nuts, the manual doesn't say which nuts go where: The large 4-40 nuts in Bag D, go on the rear shock tower shock bolts. https://i.imgur.com/cVNnXTn.jpg No shocks yet, propped up to ride height. ...

JRXT body from Sabula Tech on ebay. Thinking of painting it just like the OG box art. I love it.

The plan was to work on a DS while working on a FR01, but UPS has decided I don't need that DS quite yet. :roll: So, pulled out the Hanger On that I started a couple of weeks ago and finished it up, then took it apart, then finished it up, and took it apart again, then finished it up ..................

WOW! That double cab fits perfect and looks amazing 👌 I think I'm going to have to order a second DS now🤦‍♂️ Who makes the double cab body and do you know where they are sold? I will be paying close attention to how you build the mounts. Alan The DC body is an unlicensed knockoff found on ebay, it'...

Having difficulty figuring out the shock seals and spacers. On the tree are (4) thick spacers in the yellow box, and (8) thin ones with a bevel that looks like they ride on the o-rings on one side, in the red box: https://i.imgur.com/3KxjUPo.jpg Manual shows (5) spacers and seals per shock, and show...

I could be wrong but they look like 1/16 " spacers. Can be used for down stops and also for adjusting the rear hub carrier.

Built the Dirtmaster. Feels like a really solid car. Just need to paint up a body and give it a shakedown run.

I know that feeling. I have this and a DS coming in to my LHS. The amount of reres I've bought this year is getting out of hand.

These shocks really are nice quality, the chassis is smooth and the anti-roll should make it hold well in the turns. Looking forward to driving this one.

Stealth is next.

No where in this manual do they show the diff grease, or where it goes: https://i.imgur.com/jsJ6Ary.jpg The kit includes the diff grease, but it has a part number on it, no name on it, and the manual never calls for any grease on the diff. I know what it is and where it goes, but someone new, or the...
