I am trying to build some parts, but there are a few cars that I don't have at my disposal.
So, what I need to do is come out to your place, hang out and build a couple tie bar prototypes off of your car.

Cars I still need:
Mk1 8v- ham(maybe)
16v swap-Glen
aba swap-Kris

Mk2 8v-blue_bomber, first91gti

Mk3 vr6-toftii, eurotrash

Mk4 vr6-dubsmcgee
24v-twotone

Corrado g60
slc

Mk1 scirocco (maybe the same as the rabbit?)

Mk2 rocco 8v

After I get these prototypes built, I will make a few production samples and send one out to you for letting me use your car.

Thanks
-Dean

I have 8v mk1...is this lower or upper tie bar? If lower, I have a little different downpipe than normal. If upper, I'm running a gasser intake manifold on my car, so all should be good...

Cool, I think I talked to you about it 2 years ago at the gtg in Mankato. Maybe it was the guy with the blue 20th.

It might. After I do the 12v we could meet up and see if it clears the 24v.

Oh, I thought it would be me driving to you. :O_o:



If you find a more convenient/readily available 8v mk1 around, by all means go for that...I'm not sure when the next time I'll be in the twin cities area is. :beer:

I'll let you know, hammy.

You're welcome to use my 1992 Corrado SLC if you need to. Maybe you could build some other chassis stiffening parts that other companies don't offer too!

If you don't feel like driving out to see Ham's car, I'll be moving to Minneapolis June 1 and you're more than welcome to take measurements on mine. MKI 8v Diesel
