Seth's beam is headed to Powder Coat


My goal is to finish this list this week. After that, less than one week to build a beam and ship it out raw, less than two if you want powder coat.

We also redesigned the Ultimate beam pages

Tell your friends about the list!

I know airkewld is primarily about - well, figure it out – but I’m sure I’m not alone in my appreciation of the watercooled scene as well. I’ve had a few water pumpers as dailies/ and parts haulers but I always had a hankering for a watercooled toy as my aircooled projects are all way off completion.

About a year ago, I picked up a cheap mk2 polo hatchback. I don’t think it was sold in the states, but looks like this: 



I got it mainly to teach a couple of my friends some welding and bodywork skills without having to let them loose on my split bus. Whilst tooling around in it, I realised what a fun, simple little car it was to play with. Whilst my original intention was to make this a shoestring resto and upgrade, the seeds were now sown to take the humble “breadvan” down a more kustom route.

I joined a few forums and began collecting parts off the GT and G40 (supercharged) models. Then a polo hatch was featured in Fast Car magazine 


www.fastcar.co.uk/ which gave me even more inspiration and a shopping list running into hundreds of pounds…

And so it began.

I really like everything I bought from you. I thought everything went together very well. But your stuff really is great, I really love how the pieces are cut and they make my pan look awesome. I can't wait to get the body done to see it laying on the ground.

Thanks for posting. I appreciate it!

Found the instructions for the front air install! for anyone interested this is the writeup that airkewld had last year when i purchased my kit. Thanks

sounds good guys! i started the front install but taking a bit more fabricating than i was expecting. i think i can get the front a bit lower if i modify the strut mount extenders that came with my original package you sold last year. So once i get those modified i will start adding pics with some descriptions cuz looks like i gathered some interest on the forum so def want to help SB friends! thanks.

All of the parts I have got from Airkewld have been great! As well as the tech support you have provided over the phone. The times that I have called about anything you always take the time to listen to me and understand what I am trying to do, and then provide the answers that I need to keep going. I am looking forward to working more with you of future builds.

Thanks -Jacob

The shocks really made a huge difference in the handling of my VW bug. Now I just need to add some rear shocks and disk brakes all the way around and it will be the total package.
Thanks

I have emailed my web guru on the mix up. I was under the impression that this was resolved. I will get it sorted out and let you know. PM me your number and I will give you a call this weekend.

Pete,
I just tried to order these but my account information is ALL screwed up, wrong person and address info. I'll have to call you and get it figured out.You working on Saturdays?

Create a folder here airkewld.com/index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&userid=1190&Itemid=49 and call them front super install pics and I will reference them with a link. Maybe we can even write an article here airkewld.com/the-garage/custom-vw-blogs on the install. I hook brothers up when they do that.

I started roughing in the front beam and air ride today and have a few questions.
First, Do I need to purchase torsion arm seals or do the delrin bushing do this for me? If not is this space alright?

Second, what do I have to do to make the front shock fit the the lower torsion arm. The bolt does not pass through the shock at all to catch a nut?
