VW MK1 Rabbit Rear Axle Conversion {Leaf Spring Suspension Upgrade}

[@miketeeveedub5779]

I just witnessed a new genre of cinema - Horror Resto-modding! Mind you, all resto-modding can be horror-inducing. Regardless - great video from you two! Carry on!

8:30: welding while you’re lying under the car. My absolute fave’ position 😱😱😱 and I’ve been doing a lot of that lately

[@gtruckus07]

You guys are killing it!

[@RotboxMetalworks]

Cheers! Trying out different stuff with every new video, hopefully people like it, or at least don't hate it!

what a creative film style! subbed :) p.s. love the caddy

[@RotboxMetalworks]

Thank you so much! 😀

[@austinhedrick1351]

Would y’all be willing to send the specs and/or measurements over of the strut brackets? I’d love to have these made at a shop by me to convert the rear end to coils instead of the leaf springs.

[@oliverpaton556]

Is the trailing arm from the caddy... or from the donor golf?

[@RotboxMetalworks]

Neither! It's from a Polo

[@oliverpaton556]

@@RotboxMetalworks you got a video on that part? How does it mount to the body?

[@BackyardMechCon]

@@oliverpaton556 I was going to ask the same thing as well. The axle has just appeared in the rear out of nowhere. There has been a lot of work to get it to that point. Squaring it up and mounting it to hard points on the front of the frame which more than likely had to be fabricated also as that axle is non existent in a caddy. It would be good if it was explained how it got to that point. Love the editing and music by the way - it really makes it too!

[@jesuscamarillo-reyes]

Could u 3 or 4 link suspension the pen rear axle whit your new mount

[@RotboxMetalworks]

Probably not

[@chrisroop]

With you guys around, it'll be a good time to own a Caddy. Or at least drool over your videos 🙂

[@RotboxMetalworks]

Haha, cheers dude!👍

[@oliverpaton556]

[@RotboxMetalworks]

Hi, have watch all caddy videos. i will start my build pretty soon. just wonder, the custom floor plates u guys did. can u make them for sale? same with this video. plus how low can u go with ur setup? cuz i will install airbags on my or the new system air"bags" for coilovers. only lower/higher 50mm but thats enough for me. in the lowest setting i want it to almost touch the ground. sub and notfication on. keep uploading u doing a fantastic work :)

[@RotboxMetalworks]

Thanks! On the setup we've got the sills should touch the floor, we wouldn't be looking at selling the setup until next year when we've had a good chance to test it

[@ahmadmohammad1044]

It's going to be turned into a back drive!

[@RotboxMetalworks]
