Got the weiss walls fitted today and took some pics.

I want to wash the wheels and give them a detail so the red looks better.

Without the hub caps it gives it a street rod look:

Now im tossing up between keeping hubcap and wheel trims vs just hub cap but looks more povo spec without wheel trims although i like the colour contrast :)

Here are some pics of the engine and Auto Union chassis plate

Image

Image

Car was built in 1965 but first registered in 1968 I guess it would have taken a year back then to get to Australia from der fatherland and then took a couple of years to sell as Audi or Auto Union was an unknown brand

Question anyone know how I can lower the rear?

The front is adjustable torsion beam the rear is also torsion beam as well but not adjustable.

Would it be like a beetle and I can weld in adjuster?

In Europe the guys run Mk1 Golf adjustable coil overs but not sure what they would do with the torsion beam?

Any suggestions?
