Vwthunders build thread (finally)

Looks awesome as usual mate, more pics in your thread required.

I thought i had enough pics lol, everyone in melbourne is sick of seeing it i think, I was told that each show you need to run different wheels etc, because people have seen it before.

I dont know how many people out there have cars they show who run different sets of wheels each time, besides, there is more to modding cars then sitting it low and putting a set of wheels on it, seems to be the Melbourne culture

Absolutely epic build thread bro. Any chance you could do a bit more explaining on how you did the fuse boxes for the battery relocation. I have been battling my ass off on how to tidy it up.

Used a Busbar for the power and a fuse block for the fuses, it is really not that hard. Have a good look at the pics i put up

I don't have any pics other than this real crap one


Basically I trimmed the top part of the battery box that the fuses lock in to so I was left with just a rectangle. The made a little bracket to bolt in in this position. Ill grab some pics for you Friday night if it helps. I then ran a power cable to the top of the fuses so I had current.

As they say pics say a 1000 words so ill get some for you.

Being single and working long shifts at work = more days off and lots of time

As they say every cloud has a silver lining
hopefully ill get some uninterrupted time in the garage over the weekend so I can tackle most of the wiring then I can start sorting the engine ready to put the car back together.
Look forward to some more updates from you. Cars looking super shiny

Yeah hard as i dont have a garage and do all the work at my friends place.
Most of the time I forget the camera, also normally get half way through a job and have to put the car back together to get home. I really need a 2nd car

Fair enough. Was just at my garage doing the wiring when I was called to come home so the misses could take her sister to hospital. My issue is time as I have the garage and family car
