This was my partner in crime today to help me bleed the brakes  [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] Like I promised a long time ago, first picture of my custom 914 seat frames, just the standard bottom of a regular seat, all cleaned up. Next step will be relocating the tube at the back so the 914 seat will fit. [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] And here's the result of a few cans of spraypaint back and front. And look, the new electricity is in [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] |

In between the having fun yesterday I managed to get Jelle to weld in the safety belt connection points. The workshop is every backyard engineer's wet dream. Well, possibly on to greener pastries in the near future [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] When finished, we took a trip down to the harbor where I took a shot of the back. Don't you just hate the look of that muffler. Does any one know where to find a 1 3/4 inch pipe dual quiet pack? [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] And when I finally got home it was already dark, but this is what lighted up my night.

Great to see your car is running, Tim! I guess the dual quiet you are looking for is available nowhere. How about welding one yourself? all you need is some tubing, two silencers and a flange. Everything can be bought easily off ebay or the internet. And in the end you can be sure that the mufflers fit YOUR car! DO IT! BTW: I think that a nice period looking glasspack would suit your car very good as well! Those mufflers are very cheap and non-restrictive.... Tobi |

I'd go for the dua quiet packs and as Tobi said, make them yourself. One thing I would do though is move the number plate light down a little - it looks a bit high to me. Love that lid though! |

Thanks guys! Both for the hands on help of the WW as for the kind words. On the topic of the exhaust, right now I have a loud and ugly muffler. I looked at the summit website today, and cherry bombs would be rather cheap, add some mandrel bent tubing and I might have a loud and good looking muffler. At least i'd have solved one of my issues  Oh and Tobi, I said it before, compliments from you always are nice to get, after all you have one of the nicest, cleanest cars I know |

I have succumbed! Instead of using my hard earned Euro's on new paint for the car I bought an Ipad I'm a long time Mac afficionado and even though I had some doubts on what I was going to use this for, it actually turns out a very nice Media Player, I only look at the lounge using the Ipad now (little lie  I write this from my work based laptop, a Dell for F*Cks sake) Yesterday, by coincidence I stumbled upon one of the reasons I always had wanted an Iphone or Ipad. The thing harbours an accelerometer. If used with the correct app it will give you your quarter mile time (together with reaction time, 60 foot, ...). I installed, calibrated and then had to test it! So, in the evening the monthly VW dinner was on and I invited Jelle to hold the Ipad steady in the passenger seat (don't want it to float around the cabin while flying!). Took the car out on the street behind the restaurant, lined it up and spanked it. I spun the wheels, so a bit of a slow start but didn't end up in the ditch either side of the street. I had to let of the gas a bit early, it was pretty dark and thought I had seen a speed bump up ahead. But all in all, according to the Ipad I had just run a 14.09 at 150 something Km! Now this is fun, I'm sure it is not flawless, but it does give me an idea of what the car could do, most of all it'll be fun to share the Ipad with the other Wunderwaffe Boy Racers, starting next saturday on Jelle's Garage opening drink! |

i guess i bought this topic as well when i bought the car... so i hope i can keep this project going and make something nice out of this. here we go for my first bug.
i collected it yesterday and like it was said a few times it doesn't look like much, but it is a good base and it drives smooth, brakes decent and overall has a good del to it.
thanks Tim.

You are going to slap a big ass turbo on it??? in short, yes. but unfortunately not very soon... i will first finish the bits and bobs that are still left to do and after that get a good feel of the car to see what needs to be done. |

well it has begun i have let it all sink in for a bit and i think i know what i am up to for now. i had been planning out a car for the last few years so i think i am finally ready to actually do something.
the big plus on the car for now is the engine as it is already built. but eventually there will be a turbo engine in there, but again this may take a few years and pesos.
anyway here is what i did with the handbrake. it's 60mm shorter and thanks to a removeable lockout pin for the button it will fall back down when i stage instead of jamming as it normally does.
