Aussie/German/Euro Look project rebuild pics

Cheers guys, this weekend the narrowed beam was pulled off and painted in two pack silver (base coat clear coat) then refitted and aligned (roughly). Here is a quick pic of the holley blue pump and braided lines along with the Golf master cylinder.


The adjustable Koni red shocks were also refitted - had to put them to the 'soft' setting as the tension in the narrowed torsion leaves was too high so when they were on the stiff setting, it was rock hard. The car should be ready to fire up in about two weeks (have to sort out oil pressure sender and sync carbs, along with a few other bits and pieces like bleed brakes so I can stop)

Wow! Fantastic job!! Love everything on it! If you don´t mind I have 2 questions, what paint (paint code) is that? Where did you get your front speaker panels?

Thanks

Thanks guys,

re. paint code - it is a bit of a custom mix so no specific code

re. speaker pods - I made them myself - see this link for full pics:

re. pump and reg - Holley blue pump combined with holley red (lower pressure) regulator in engine bay - this will be set to around 3psi

The rear end is a bit too high now after readjustment but I will leave it as is for the initial break in just so I don't have to worry about bottoming out on any bumps. I will fine tune it once again later on.

SERIOUSLY...... your car is FANTASTIC !!!!
AWSOME job, and very clean looking !!!!!
