Depends on the condition originally. But if the bottom 2" of the chassis has been ground off by some yahoo with a 2-3 functioning brain cells, then it would probably be a parts car.
Bottom 2-3 inch had been buried in moist ground for more than 20 years car and poor had beed used as a shotgun target few times so you get the idea. |

I believe the only thing John was commenting on was the fact that it was so low that it was dragging and causing damage to the car.
I like the look of lowered VWs. Doesn't bother me a bit, but when someone lowers so far that driving it causes damage, that's where I shake my head. |

firstly i think you guys took me a little too seriously. it was 3/4's meant as a s#!t stir.
btw i'm not a slammed guy either, (i love my date codes and correct bits even if they can't be seen) i just prefer to let others do thier thing in peace. |

ever thought about magnesium pucks? they put out a nice spark show. love the car by the way. i would rather see it rolling down the road putting smiles on the drivers face than rotting away in a garage after being "properly restored". |
