The Discovery Project

Thanks for the offers to help out. I'll take ya'll up on it! I've just gotta get a couple small things finished up first. Mainly finishing up the brackets and drilling them out, and cutting and tacking my new crossmembers for the 4-links.

The rover is about 1.5 miles from the intersection of Harris Blvd. and Albermarle road. Not far from the University area.

If anyone has a plasma cutter, and would be willing to help a brother out that would be awesome. Otherwise I'll just keep cutting plate with a band saw, when the blades in the machine shop at school are decent.
 
Hey those used to be my axles. What happened to the disc brakes(that I never finished)
 
Finally an update!

The VW tech's face says it all....

The back of the frame! :flipoff2:
 
The axle is about 8" back.. If you look at the center of the tire and the axle, you'll see the tire is a little too far forward from where it should really be.

Let me know when Jordan's gonna be back over there, I've got a lot more pics he'd probably like to see.

I might be with the EtherBunny so I will make sure to bring some grubby clothes.
