Hi

I went for run over to my friend Richards new shop today. They are still moving but he let me run around and take a few interesting photos.

I hope they inspire you, I know I always come away thinking.

[bugluv]

I can see my car in one of those photos :D The bug in the background with flowers :P (needs to be painted once all the mechanicals are finished at v-force :) )

[Steve C]

Hi bugluv

I parked near you in Canberra last year in my sons 1303. I put the same seats in my sons car that you have.

[bugluv]

No wonder your car looks familiar then!

[Steve C]

Hi bugluv

I had as beer with the boys and your bumper made nice a seat, hope your don't mind.

Steve

[bugluv]

Haha no worries - "Basil" would have enjoyed witnessing a beerfest I'm sure.

Dont suppose you caught a bit of Basil in any other photos that you havnt posted?

And to keep this thread on track I'd like to recommend V-force to anyone considering parts etc - they have been wonderful and patient with me and my un-ending questions, and all parts have been of the highest quality.

[Steve C]

Hi bugluv

Sorry that was all I took, I checked my photos from Canberra as well, but we got there very late and I think you were leaving at the time.

Steve

[volkdent]

Great pics! Thanks, nice to see so many interesting projects in one spot. Did he like the way the center seating racer handled? Are those stock VW spindles on his double-wishbone setup?

Hi

He's still building the single seater, it uses late Type 3 front spindles. You can read about the build up here http://www.clubvw.org.au/dak_to_the_future.htm
