Was owned by a Norwegian drag racer, then my mate Bobby did a rat shat look special, car was on front cover of ultra ,now its in our hands for an outrageous build.

You bought this from Jussi?

No jussi,s car was blue wasnt it ?? man that thing hauled typ4 10second arse love that car.

I got it off a uk ratlook guy for a customer of mine. car is green and on the front cover of ultra magazine in all its rat shat look glory.:lmao:

How come he choose a split and not a 02-03 instead. Splits are a rare sight now it would be a shame to modernize it.

To piss off the purists:angry::lmao:Feel free to air your opinion i always do:lmao: but i dont question customers when they approach me and ask for a 1 off car from the ground up.

He will piss of the purists that's for sure. 2.7 with carbs or he will go for throttle bodies, ecu, etc

EFI and crank trigger ignition its 2011 you no:lmao:

that is great. Keep posting the progress. I love your work. By the way what size of throttle bodies will you use?

You will have to wait for that one keep watching as we will be unvailing some nice new goodies and they will be on this car.;)

I will be here waiting:)

2 great projects for sure. I love to piss off the purists.

good to see you back Lee, projects look good. watching with intrest :)

hehehehehehehe:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

Floorpan stripped and etch primed , rear of shell fillered and smoothed , should get the shell in primer very soon doing all this around work so not much time to spend on it......

Keep up the good work Lee

Lee...

What seats are going on that pan?

I have the later mounts too but I'm worried that it will mean a seat (bucket/porkie/or similar) will be too high. I'm considering removing the "hump" and welding in a couple of crossbars to bolt a seat runner to.

thx.

Hi Bruce , same as the white 1303 car, but in a different colour, we make them, here are some orange ones ,at the trimmers at the moment for my New Beetle 1.8t GL style car iam building done in porsche gt3rs orange (same colour iam doing the car)just about the right height with original 03 runners, the pan in the pic is an 03 pan shell is an 02.......

Thx Lee.

My brother used 924 seats on 3-point bases and had to cut'n'shut a lot to mount them low enough. I guess a bucket is a bit easier (bolts to the side on yours?)

I'd appreciate a photo of the adapted bases/runners if you have one.

cheers.

I made up some ally plates that bolt to the seat and then bolted them to the 03 runner ,simples.you could always cut and shut the runners so they sit lower ?

:)

That's perfect, just what I was looking for.
Gives me some confidence that I can make the stock runners work.

Thanks :goodjob:

On our '03 I welded an inverted channel (n) down onto the seat hump and bolted the standard Alfa seat rails to that. The height with Alfa 116 seats is perfect for me but my wife has to use the spring seat raiser to lift it up for her comfy position - she's 5'4".

I take the view that anything used on the road should have a comfy seating position for the driver but the passenger can be down on thye floor if necessary. the driver needs maximum visibility to his instruments and the roads around him as well as being close enough to the wheel and gear lever for maximum control.

Clive

Lee do you have any updates with the 02?

No , no 02 updates been working on the typ2 split and getting the 51 split bug/03 ready for the cage and front end transplant........

I love this model 51 split bug/03

Cant wait to see this thing finished, sort of squeemish cutting up the split, but the results will be amazing I'm sure.

Jason

We hav'nt cut any thing yet, just unpicked the factory spot welds on the front valance and the spare wheel well and they will go back in after the front is finished, also only moved the rear body to shock tower mounts, so its hardly been touched for the match up.Like i said this shell was modified years ago by the Scandinavian drag racer, hardly an og split bug ,any way who cares what year they are, I,am only interested in modifying vws, stockers are for buffers.:lmao:

I really like your projects so far, very well done and with your own individual touch.However, I think the split will be the best one.The 03 floorpan with the shorter wheelbase is something I had always thought about.I don't have the fab skills to make it happen though.Good luck and I'm really looking forward to following your updates!

Cheers , just fabbing the cage mounts, waiting for the Cromo/t45 steel to turn up and then its all go on the cage and front end strut mounts, going to be using our slimline L.A.P struts and a new product we are bringing out, cro-mo bottom drop arms with rose joint/uniball inner mounts off the pan, might make some shorter ones for this car so we can get FAT porsche wheels and rubber under the front end;).

Cage boxes under construction.......

Nice Work!

The old green machine has still got it :)

Was flicking throught the Total VW feature a few weeks ago. I was looking for the tyre sizes you're running with the stock wings but it didn't mention them.

Thanks, still a lot more bars to go in and all the front work for the struts.

Yep , everybody still says that, and i have to agree after my 2 day blast about in it, the old terminator has still got it, she runs a 2.4cc typ4 now, its 12 years since i started that car.

7x16 cups all round 205x55 on the back, 195x45 on the front car has our first ever set of slim lines on the front aswell.

Lee the yellow on your avatar looks really mean. I have seen a few photos of this car on your site.
