You will have a blast through those roads up there... make sure to take some pictures!

Yes I sure will. I have done most of them before, just not in a single trip. Will be taking it easy as I will have the dog rattling around in the back.

Because you're getting out and about and not stopping by my ends.

 

Slightly in the wrong direction Pete.

Fail for not having the original plastic cable holder for the ABS cable. KW went to all the trouble of welding the tabs on in the right place too... :coffee:

Pics? Part number?

Have you cut that cable tie off flush ray? If not shame on you!

Nah, I left it long so it clicks on the wheel spokes; ala playing card on my Chopper back in the 70s :roflmao:

First things first, lovely car Sir :) Having just scanned through this thread I'm really impressed with the amount of time and effort you've put into this!

One question I would ask is when looking at the shock mount/beam-end in the picture above (First pic), doesn't the level of corrosion there worry you? Mines much the same, and whilst I know it's good thick steel I can't help but hatch plans in my head to buy a spare and have it blasted/powder coated or at the very least rust treat my existing beam in situ...

Exactly what  am in the process of doing. I have sourced a beam and will be picking it up in a couple of weeks.

Then to get it stripped, treated and powder coated and swapped over. Most likely next spring.

Good crack :D

Silly question... Are all Lupo rear beams the same irrespective of model?

Not sure. You'll have to ask someone else. Sorry.

Just spoke to Rich; all beams will fit a non GTI and work, but there are differences. 

Thanks chap ;) FWIW I ended up getting busy with my existing beam this morning...

More info on this in my 'member's cars' thread, but in short after a rub back there was little more than cosmetic/surface rust, I'm confident that now it's been treated the original beam will last for the rest of this cars life without any problems.
