GUTTED!

http://members.lycos.co.uk/vdubhub/a...11-SubDied.htm

My expensive sub isnt working anymore Havent even used it yet, but it was second hand... Worked when I got it...

Felt like I was going to be sick when we worked out what had happened, so threw in the towel and walked away from the car for the rest of the day (this was yesterday)

We think we can fix it, will be an interesting story if we can!

Cheers,
SAm C

Made a piece for the oil temp sender to fit into. Didnt like any of the commercially available mountings so we made one

Very much a before and after shot

Didnt much like any of the solutions for fitting the twin oil pressure sender with the dizzy, extended pipes and questions of where to mount it...


Simply rethreaded the bottom of it so it isnt tapered as much anymore, lits it fit in far deeper, a very slight dent in the top corner and the dizzy fits right in next to it


Fuel pump under the bonnet. Red top

Regulator will be in the engine bay.

And the money shot, the engine so far


Should be laying on the last of the paint on the body tomorrow, and restprotecting the chassis/pans.

Just gotta wait for the replacement stubs for the exhaust and finish off a few little jobs and we are ready to fire her up

CANT WAIT!

Too right I am, cant wait

Todays work:

Another coat of paint on the sides, as it was a little thin in places. Looks good as is, but gonna flatten with 1500/2000 then polish up for a really nice finish


And I refinished some of the carbon, it had gone very crappy in the british weather, had horrible chalk marks on the carbon from the rain! So out with the 400 grit wet and dry, then 1000 then 1500 grit... Clean it up and let it dry (wet sanding it), then a coat of 2pack Lacquer and it looks superb! Better than new



Cya,
Sam C

Will be fine Have colour sanded before, and have a proper random orbital doofer for the polishing

The carbon is going to get the same treatment, its going to be flat sanded with 1500 to knock the high spots off, and a second coat of lacquer, then same as the paint, 1500, 2000 then polish up
Should look superb!

Holy moly Samcat that is one fine 'dub . Only problem being that I know mine will never look half as good , but has certainly inspired me to have a go .

Well done mate and I look forward to seeing it in the flesh at a VW meet next year

More here:

Rear end is all rebuilt, but I didnt take any photos (yet)... Took her for a drive the other night and you can just feel the power, even though I am taking it easy on the break in.



Just about finished for now, few jobs left to do.

Cya,
Sam C
