hodge112 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 wow found this thread through google somehow , and loved all the progress thats been made on this any more updates What were you googling , cheers dudenothing much to update...rear beam was flap wheeled down and zinc primered, undecided on what colour to do it right nowthe refurb on the RM's is pretty much done, just need to be sealed and the tyres to be fittedand also got the new engine for the lupo today too, this'll be the 3rd one to go in there now its only a 6n2 gti engine, but the car doesnt need anything too powerful tbhi should start making up plates to smooth the engine bay this week too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge112 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 cant wait to see this finished , wheels look great , any sneaky updates thanks dudesmall update...the rear beam got painted today, gave it a kind of crackle black finishalso started making templates for the engine bay, was all a bit rushed but you get the ideai need to chop a few bits away before i can make some but this gives me an idea of what it'll look like anyway, so tommorows job is lots of cutting and welding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of giving it ago on my arosa.cheers man, yeah they fit and everything. In all honesty its an absolute pain to do, you have to modify the beam and the rear arches slightly on the insideplus i dont know how well it'll work until the car can be driven again, it should be ok thoughAwesome, looking good dude. thanks buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
