[Manic172]

More dicking about with the panels... is any one on here do body repair

 

[lightup]

some nice dicking around lol. do the parts save much in weight ? you also had a carbon bonnet didnt you? how easy is it to fit, or does it take a lot of adjustments like the rest of the panels ?

 

[Manic172]

I got a fibreglass bonnet to go on the car. But the company does do carbon ones.
I will let you know how it fits when I put it on

When you're all done you need to go to a truck / lorry scale and see what the car weighs!!!

I am aiming to get the complete build to under a ton. Will get it on the scales when built to get the thing corner weighted

I would highly recommend xsport for the panels. They are really helpful and really down to earth to talk to as well

New decal happy 2020 LOL

I should have aligned it with defrost lines instead of roof line oh well...

bought it here:
https://www.teepublic.com/sticker/6458847-vintage-made-in-2003-17-years-of-being-awesome-bir

there are lots of versions for other years.

Also lots of nice stickers in that website like turbo snails or VAG stickers.

Clean look. Gorgeous.

The tint on the lights is very subtle right? It is not legal in my country to tint the tail lights because it alters color and brightness of stock lights and that turns you into a murderer or something like that LOL... I hate certain laws. Wish I could do it.

Gonna be a year or so till it's up and running I recon. Think it's about 8k-9k just to this stage lol still gotta have gearbox built and engine. Then wiring loom and standalone ecu. Then all the "race" stuff as well.

Not today but yesterday lol
Found a bloke near me with Vag com so I went to see if he could set up my steering angle sensor after a short convo I removed the sensor and drove to his house removed the steering wheel and plugged in the sensor and he was like it’s not showing as in the centre so he moved it and put it back on and tried again then he was like this one is not working so that was it I’m 25 quid down and the esp is still not working grr on my return to work I took the wheel off so I could get all the trims back on and noticed that the yellow dot was not in the window so I turned the ring and it was stif now it was not like that before and I noticed that it was popping out at the top and could see the inside off it all so now I need to get another one and go through the whole thing again grr and need to find someone else local to me again grr
And I’m also on with sorting my car back to a working 4door instead off a 4 door with half the doors working then it’s onto the the airbag light and then the top brake light and drying out the inside off the car as we speak it’s got a dehumidifier init

Undo and move the passenger seat then remove the door card. Then you can take the door apart from the inside and should 've able to get it open that way
