Sex on wheels :bowdown:

Very, very nice.
I've thought about a removable front apron as well, but didn't have the nerves to actually do it.

Awesome..

Rob.

Hi Rob, it's not too much work but if you want to run an oil cooler up front it's really tight with out making extra room by cutting away the spare wheel well..Give it a go mate. the car wont fall to bits.

Hi Brent

You don't have to appologize..I fully understand.

Here's an link to an topic of my little car
http://www.germanlook.com/Forums/sho...light=racelook

My engine wouldn't be so special.. I just don't have the money for it now. I first want to ride with it

Keep up the good work Brent.

Love your car!!!

Wiebrand

Hi Wiebrand, o yes i have seen these pictures. I also understand how much work is gone on too. I was going to run a larger fuel line through the pan but decided it was easyer to run it throught the car. Turned out costing an arm and a leg and ended up being alot of work anyway. Yes you may not have the big engine but yours will be reliable. If mine decidied to let go it would get parked for quite a while. I think there is around 26k in the engine and box in parts. God what possesed me to take on such a challanged. All i can say is i truely have a patient wife and son who have alowed me the fredom of spending countless hours often till 1 am in the morning in the shed. It would be interesting to hear how others manage too. Some have bulit these amasing cars in 1-2 yrs. How? Single? No kids? or maybe they paid someone to do it? Brent.

Guards in place.

New picture of guards in place. They are not the best pictures so will take few more. Just to fill you in, the front guards have been sectioned 50mm and the rear have been sectioned 80 mm. They are all steel. Have also rolled the rim round a 5mm steel wire to retain the shape and strenght. Yes a little more weight but hey, nice not too be glass either. I dont plan on bending one but have concidered making moulds later date. Hope you like .Brent.

Thanks Rob, great to see the hill climp pics, people really under estimate the potential of a beetle. My mate has a dry sumped 2.8 lt type4 and constantly beats 95 % most that turn up to events here. I couldnt open the other link? will try again. Brent.
