I really like this, I know I'm biased to track cars rather than show whores, but surely everyone can appreciate just what hard work and skill has gone into this. I look forward to seeing it on track soon.  :happy2:

Simey, does that car go into Votex in Congleton every now and again? Only I remember seeing a MK5 race car on occasion built for a disabled owner - cracking car it was/is too.

....I've grown to like Matt but was very sorry when Mark left VWR.

I never met Mark but I've found Matt a nice bloke,

Incidentally you can see Matt on Beetle Crisis when he worked for Race Shack a few years ago (Discovery Channel I think), apparently he is the god of Air cooled VW.

 When you meet him you must call him by his full title Matty 'are you that bloke of the telly' Walker.  :happy2:

 :grin: he gets some stick for that show  :laugh: and it's nice to know they roped you in on the name calling too  :signLOL: and yes Mat knows his aircooled stuff big time hence how I know him. Did he show you his ghia ?  :notworthy: it's been a big big build that car and is simply stunning

I'm pretty much snowed in, but I've got this to play with  :happy2:





Going to template and cut the panels in the rear, looking at fixings but only 1mm thick so countersinking is a bit tricky.

This is a cracking thread. I like the bolt bottom right mate, used to race karts and used them for alot of fixings. Its quite a neat finish compared to most of them.

Lookin good Neil, we use a thing called a tinamun(think thats spelt correctly :smiley:) washer on the aircraft when its a thin skin to allow countersinking and can also allow for a bit of adjustment, I'll try and get a picture of said item 2 morra if you like :happy2:

there you go Neil, not the best picture but i hope you get the idea, they can be had in various materials and sizes :happy2:



you drill the hole slightly bigger than the underside csk, and sometimes give the component that your mounting to a slight csk, depending on material thickness. Hope that makes sense, probably make more sense when you have 1 of the washers in your hand :happy2:

I'm sure I can get you some if you require :happy2:
