that's what gets you a chopped around VW, mind.
if you want to do it properly, you have to source or make a decent rear
suspension setup, ditto drive shafts etc.
diff and driveshafts from a sierra are quite handy, but the susapension
setup isn't really right. few car rear ends are much use, live axle is a
possibility of course, but again, you have problems with suspension.
Racing-car style suspension with horixontal dampers in the middle works
best, I reckon, aesthetically at least, but tends to mean custom-building.
