Is your roof rack removable? What type of brackets hod it on if so? Thanks,

yea my rack is removeable it only takes literally 5 min to install its been off for a wile now thinking about possibly selling it. its a yakima roof rack.


-man i just realized how old those pics are and that i never put pics up on the b6 swap or any thing... sorry guys ill get something up soon. how do you get pics into your album? id rather put them there for all to see the progress on both the funboxes

rapid remover and a plastic drywall knife is great for thick adhesive like this

I used it on removing mine, but it still takes forever. The glue gets soft and doesn't want to come off.

Great minds think alike!

I know this works for stickers may work..

Haha, yep. I just posted about using that to remove the glue on another thread

You mentioned removing the door bumper strip... Would you have to spot weld the door to get rid of the holes, or is it glued on?

It's just glued on but the glue is a pita to get off

I cut 2 full coils then welded just the flat of the spring back on to keep the oem seating I got that info from festivaWES on what to do. It rides better than any car Ive ever dropped, for real.

[lanemeyer14]

How many coils did you cut from your springs?

[eurotiva]

Man that's low and i love it. Can't wait to fix up my white one

here are some pics I took of the whip today. its dirty but it shows the progress. sorry about the quality I had to photoshop each one just so you could see the car because my camera is a peice of junk.





-Im removing the molding on the sides (its kinda pointless anyway other cars doors are way too high for them to do their job now) I think it will make it more sreamline looking




-if anyone has a rear bumper cover let m know because mines in need of replacement before paint
