    • Pete, you done anything with the wavetrac yet, considering purchasing a wavetrac unit but have found a peloquin "sale" online for $750 US....If you have driven the wavetrac opinion please...
      Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...

      If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

      Cheers,
      Grant...

            • 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.

                        • mother of god!!!

                          Where did you get the fibreglass bonnet and boot Pete

                          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.
