Mk1 16v Project

Looks amazing dude, so inspirational!

How do you go about making thous hard lines?

Thanks, man!

You buy bundy tubing from a brake place. Comes in a coil. Straighten it out and start making some lines. Kind of hard to explain without pictures or physically showing you.. But you also need a tube cutter, flaring tool and radius bender.

Haha.. Yeah, with the RPM range and gearing it should go off the speedo in 4th with enough road.. haha.

What's that out of? Early 911??

Some German company called SHK, their stuff looks amazing!

Woah nice.

That stuff looks amazing. Actually might have been better than the Autometer tacho in some ways, but i like the resolution of it.

Any idea how you buy stuff from them?

very scary build! video on full throttle is a must!! plus i need to see it and give the motor a nice kiss

[Preen59]

Haha you're a unit, Dom.

Currently working on all the "little bits". Shift linkages etc. All painted and the like.

I'm also going to convert the rod with bushes to an aluminium rod with rose joints to eliminate the slop there. I will have pics and explain what the hell I mean soon.

well if you are going to all that trouble preeny you may as build two then hey whilst you got it knocked up and then sell me one as have neither the time nor the patience to do this and was going to pay someone anyway.

Yep will do. I plan on making a kit to sell anyway.

Just double check that your rod is the same length as mine (measure it for me) please (not gay. Definitely not gay). Obviously you'll have adjustment but it would be good to confirm first..
