Agreed mate. Looks fantastic now. The colour is awesome!. But if he's planning on putting it on the road. There will be a million stone chips all prone to rust in 12 months. And that will be a massive shame after all the hard work

I talked about that with great painter. He paints a lot of race rally touring cars and he said that is how he dose it and they don't have a problem. I took his word for it plus it looks better for a show finish witch is what I want

so done a few more bits on the car.
finished off the fuel system and only the tank to go on now. but witing for some tapered pins to be made
cleaned the fuel tank filler pipe
had my cage and wheels back for power coat and fitted the cage
my rose jointed arms and machined knuckles with bigger VW berings come
back on 4 wheels at last. still needs to be set up and tracked but you get the idea
the only wheels bolts i could find for the time being

sorry guys. not much of an update. due to loosing my job and other issues i havnt been able to do much on the car. but now back to full time work i can crack on.
only bits i have done is sort my coilover's out and get the car more of a derivable height and got my calipers on after a refurb.
the speedline wonts be staying for the shows. these are only normal road use.
but i have bought myself a new toy for the summer
it was nice to speak to ben at p.v also got time to speak to Steve boy slim about my engine. that will be getting sorted in the very near future. brake lines next then ready for engine. watch this space guys!!!
