Got it all washed up. Installed the grill pieces. Pressure washed the bay and finished the tune up. Next is to tackle the rear brakes... they are completely wasted!
Got a chance to take it for a spin. It was quite the experience with virtually no brakes.

Decided on a air management setup- Autopilot V2
The display is color changeable but the red should flow really nice with the rest of the dash once it is converted to red as well.
Here is what the manifold looks like for the V2-
Should be here in the next week or so.

Just arrived today! Air Lift Auto Pilot V2. I must say this a pretty sexy piece. This thing has some amazing features and the controller literally fits in the palm of your hand.
I wont be able to get to it until after my move but I am looking forward to seeing this all come together!

Alright... after fighting forever to try and get logged in with my old username, just decided to make a new one. One a little more fitting for my car. Lets get this thread a little update.
Terry has been really busting his ass. First off he's making these new MK1 air struts. These things are bad ass. All based off of AirLift pieces so totally serviceable.
Still have the same OSVW setup in the rear
And check out these bearing mounts. No more need for a hood notching.
Tons of tire clearance. This is with my 165/45/15's.
Completely laid out
Front lift
Full lift
Next up- the management. Terry installed the AirLift V2 and AZ Compressor (it is setup for a second compressor later. All but the tank lives in the spare tire well.
He plans to install a subfloor. The tank will sit on the subfloor inside a vintage Eddie Bauer duffel bag. No visible management.
He installed the controller right next to the ashtray. Super clean. Easy access. Also covers a damaged area on the dash. Double win!!
Look at this detail job. He had the guys next to his shop (The Fit Garage) buff and wax it. Then Terry went through and re-blacked all the trim. Came out unreal.
Out for a some glamor shots. Sorry for the over sat. These were all cell phone pics.
Yeah... Static Three Wheel. It does it... very well!

You can get a complete manual setup from OSVW for about $2000. I will have well over $3000 into this when its done. Dual OB2 compressors, AirLift V2 digital management, OSVW Struts, and custom install.

Well, Terry @OSVW installed his XL air struts and we got touchdown with shaved pinch welds. She also got a Shorty pan and a pair of skid plates-
Took her to here first show (Pacific Waterland). Yeah she won her class (Jetta/Caddy). Huge thanks to Terry @ Old Skool VulcanWerks making this dream happen!
