Class 11 Rebuild

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

Well I just got done finishing up the lightbar today. So fabrication is pretty much done on this thing. Got a 20" LED light bar and it puts out a LOT of light. Here it is as it sits now. Will start to prep the body for paint and other misc things I think of to do also.

Probably not. Want to work out the problems and setup the shocks before I race it.

Good choice, don't rush it, there is more dirt for later.

Lookin' real nice fixxor! Are you going to make some dust shields for the shocks? Not trying to be a smart a$$ here but it would keep a lot of dust and dirt out of your nice, clean interior.

Haha. My buddy that came over to look at it today asked the same thing. I was just going to put rubber around the edges. I dont think a dust cover would help much. But ill be thinking about it.

There is a string back a couple of years ago on dust shields covering the hole. I didn’t mark it but a search should find it. There were several different pretty simple options shown. It might be worth a look at anyway.

Looks great! Amazing what some paint will do. Without a windshield and other windows I doubt dust will be a problem.

How do the top of the rear shocks mount? From the side of the shock body?

they are class 11 specials and have a mount point half way up, you can just see the bolt if you look close.
