Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

            • Good to see you're moving along as speed on this, Pete.

              Sorry to hog your thread, Pete...

              I should be able to bring them in for a good price, Grant. Just let me sort out some stuff with Sam from INA. If I can get 10 or so people on board i'm hoping to bring them in (and Wavetrac) for a really good price..

              • Update as promised. The box has arrived.

                This is the biggest thing I've ever gotten in the mail.

                • This all took a hell of a lot of effort to organise, but it's all here now.

                  My very own Berg Cup kit.




                  Full set of plastic windows including one piece fronts.



                  I use nutserts a lot for fabrication. My current tool only does up to M6. This kit will let me do nutserts and studs all the way up to M12.



                  Fibreglass tailgate. 4kg vs ~7kg stock (without the glass)



                  Fibreglass bonnet 6kg vs ~11kg for a stock one or 16kg for a diesel one.



                  Here's a shot of one of the guards just sitting on the rear 1/4



                  Pace corner weight checker to let me set up corner weights without the expense of electronic scales.

                  Will get me close enough during the build phase before I get it properly weighed and balenced.

                  I'll need to make constant checks as I re-equip the car.

                          Can you PM me the cost? (I've been looking for a rust free boot for yonks!)

                          • Smith and Deakin in the UK make the Bonnet and tailgates.

                            I got mine cheap off a UK forum from a chap who bought them new but never installed them.

                            A friend stored them for me until I could organise to combine a few other orders into the shipment above.

                              • **** yeah.

                                Excellent work, Pete. Are you selling one of your kidneys to pay for all this? Haha.
