Lifted Beattle
« on: March 27, 2011, 06:38:26 pm »
I installed a 2" lift kit on a New Beattle TDI last week.
I think it looks great.

By the way, those are the 16" Moster Truck Nutz.

LOL, saw that on your bro's facebook. I helped a guy do a smaller lift last week on a golf.

Wagon springs in the back, moog VR6 springs plus OEM 10mm spacers up front.


Wound up about a 1" lift.

1985 jetta TD. It was free, and it shows. Down and dirty engine refresh made it run fairly well.... No leaks, except water into the cabin!

2001 golf Tdi. Heavy built ALH, soon to have a PD Frankenstein motor.

Nice. We did OEM VR6 springs in front with wagon springs in the rear.
