build van over a pit, and you'll slowly get nearer the underside of the van

Following this thread with great intrest, as I am about to do something simuliar but with standard di engine. my question to you Browney, did you have to use lower springs ? or was that the height you arrived at even after you cut into the chassis to fit the Mk5 crossmember ? I just want to keep my van at the standard height and i am not sure to cut into the chassis or not.

BROWNY, The welds you'v done are spaced about an inch or two at the top of the van, are you going to weld in between as well or just skim the welds and fill them with hard metal paste? Its very impotant to me if i may ask, thanks.

[BROWNYS V6]
