Go to Barns And Noble and check out a Lowrider magazine. Then visit some of the websites in the ads and you should be able to find what you're looking for.

turns out a1 strut housings dont fit a2 hub carriers. well that totally 
sucks. anyone happen to have, say, four of those lying about? or perhaps 2? 
i'm at a standstill on the upper strut mounting points unless i can come up 
with some.

a side note here: anyone know anything about those hydraulic kits for cars? 
i intend to go with active suspension and could perhaps use the same slave 
strut assemblies (only without the intent of making the car bounce all over 
the place). i did some checking but only found generic hydraulic slave 
cylinders. nothing that could handle the radial load that struts have to 
handle.

made some good progress today:

notice there is nothing holding that subframe up. well, there _is_ 
something, just not below it:
the hard to find m12x1.5 nuts welded to mounting plates:

with some luck i'll get the forward mounting points in place tomorrow 
(holding the forward parts of the front subframe in place), and will be 
getting the rear subframe situated during this coming week. once that is all 
done, i will be about 90% to the point of having a 'roller', only problem 
being that i have no strut housings to use. ugh. man it sucks living in an 
area so vw deprived. i'd kill for a nice salvage yard full o' vws right 
about now.
