so finally got around to getting a solenoid and off with the rear lock i say.next to go was the rain shelf in the engine bay,that opens it up a little


got around to putting on the crystal headlights and put a little time into polishing the weber and manifold

[GoLfMan]

[alex g]

the carbi is yet to go on i am waiting on a 4 branch exhaust manifold and they are going on together should give in a nice kick in the arse

[GoLfMan]

Project swallow tail

Your project is looking great and you are certainly getting stuck into it.I wonder about the fumes from the engine when you turn on your heater , getting rid of the rain "tray" looks ok on show cars but I personally wouldn't do it ,once its cut off you can't turn back.
I still respect your project all the same.Where did you get the grey striped seats as they look like GTi ones.

hey yeah im realy interested to hear how it goes with that carby on , ill be running that mani with a 40 dellorto on my 1.8
cheers brenton

they are old seats from my mk2 which now boasts a full mk4 leather interior. yer thoughts of practicallity go out the window when i get my hands on a dub, but it makes for an interresting ride if nothing else

[DVR68U]

yeah well i reckon if u want a ride with all the mod cons and no comprimise then ur either a girl or lookin at gettin a honda, ive got a mk3 vr6 top of the line and i still make lots of comprimises. its all about having a vw gotta love it wouldnt have it any other way.
cheers brenton

[finemk1]

wondering how you did the rear boot lock dubstarmk2, what sort of solnoid did u use? did u wire it up through the hinged area on the back hatch to a button switch u put in?, ,do you think its wise to get rid of it as i am running delocked front handels as i might need to get in some how if battery fails or i lose my remote, looks sweet as without it
cheers

[DVR68U]
