Hi Constant,

before mounting SPAX as a replacement I would ask KW Suspensions in Germany to produce a set for the MK IV !

I was in contact with them in the past, all they need is a reference damper/spring combination for front and rear.

All other info or measurements needed will be discussed if necessary.

Even the color can be adjusted to match the orange Koni appearance.

Nearly all wood parts around the windows are broken and must be replaced.

The wood on the dashboard near by the windscreen had a rotten place. I tries to repair this part but I wasn't able to find the right wood stain to fit the old colour.









I had the idea to enforce the wood at the place where the rear side window hinge is screwed by an inlined piece of aluminium.










The new wood parts look good but have a different colour compared to the old pieces.

I will repaint them. Some parts are installed.



In the meantime my saddler covered the transmission tunnel.


I glued some insulation mat at the inside ...


... and installed it.





Together with the seats.

The glove compartments in the doors got their leather barrier.




If you ever wanted to know how to make leather piping. First you have to cut out some long strip of leather

then you have to find a simple man to sharpen out the leather by hand

(well, you can also use a machine to do this but that's only half of the fun)
At least you have to glue all together

At the end I used my first piping to surround the glove box cover plate

Hi, I am trying to find out any information about the workings of the hood, if anyone knows where I could get a controller from as mine was missing when I bought the car.
Any help would be appreciated

Not sure if this is off topic, but I redesigned and had made new spring perches, as my original Koni’s had stripped. These are stronger, designed fur an 80mm C Spanner and give 6mm more lift too. Happy to share drawings if you confirm thread outside diameter.

Hi AC Ventura,
I'ld be interested to know the reference of the Spax shocks.
