A whiff of what's cooking in the kitchen - 'Project Carbon'...

I thought the 1.6 with carbs might blow the 15k gearbox, so I mated it to a 1.5 diesel instead

looks like its coming along, i would love to do a shoot on it for euromedian.net if i can?

Sounds good, Dom I signed it over to a magazine a few months ago, though, so I can't feature it anywhere else until October

Which magazine will it be featured in?

VW Scene in Germany

I was joking It has an SQS gearset in the CDA casing, which was big $$, but certainly not 15k.

Re the engine pics in general: I'd rather not reveal every inch of detail about the car online; it's much more exciting to have things like engine spec revealed for the first time in the flesh. The internet has killed the surprise factor of big builds for the most part, so it'd be nice to keep some stuff closer to the chest for a while

Fair point...

For us who cant get German car scene ill be waiting...

[gecko2k]

Your Golf looks so sick Valver! Definitely need to get my folks to buy&post me a copy of the VW-Scene in October!

Just a random question: did the guys come over from Germany for the shoot?

awesome!! congrats on getting it running/legal and everything.

Pub meet is this monday night, be nice to meet you in person! (and drool over your car if that's not too much to ask for )

It's definitely not finished yet - still plenty of issues to sort out and things to tidy up, but it's nice to have it 'close' to being done! Keen for tomorrow night... as long as it doesn't rain, as I run wiperless!!! Forecast is for rain all day, but you guys are welcome to come past and see the car in the city, depending on where the pub meet is?
