Everyone needs a bath… sometimes.

I have found the perfect spot for a modern scissor car jack. As usual, velcro helped me reduce noise.

From the past weekend.

Trying to squeeze every milliliter of height possible. Unfortunately, the VW Variant has really small wheel wells and the current setup (185/65 R15 5.5”) won’t cut for the height I want as I can’t fully turn the wheel already… 😢
I’m excited for the set of 175/60 tires to arrive and have #tomatinho be one or two fingers lower!

The sunroof and suspension kit have finally been installed!

Tomorrow I’m briefly taking #tomatinho out of the shop to install a ragtop sunroof. A quick glance of it a little bit higher than the final height and a few #aircooled cars being worked on there.

The suspension kit is finally installed!
I’m truly debating myself if I should keep it this low and just shield the bottom or make it slightly higher…
-
The new axle beam is in place! It’s an improved version over the original one that will also house the new steering box.

Left #tomatinho at the shop to install a new suspension kit. Things discovered so far:
- The previous owner cheaped out a lot on the parts
- Some rust spots on the bottom, nothing drastic that would need patching
- It might have gone under a collision, no apparent structural damage -
A small visit to the mechanic today. 😃

Today we were headed to Paranapiacaba, also known as the Brazilian Silent Hill. The city has this permanent fog for more than half the year.
Another thing is that my car is now misaligned due to the road being in a bad shape. 😅

@schizanon Wow, this was done in 1968!
Unfortunately, we didn't get the #type3 here. Instead, we had our own variant called... Variant, but it never had an electronic fuel injection system. What people usually do here is to adapt the VW Bus system on it.
Here is a pic of mine on the week I got it.
