Great looking car! Love the colour combo!

Excellent work! Brilliant project! It's going to be brilliant when done!

Go out for a drive in the GTX to cheer yourself up!

Well i'm still managing to move the GTX along slowly. Hugely satisfying seeing some of the parts coming together now. Need to find a safe place out of the way to start storing all of the assemblies.... spare bedroom at home seems like a good idea!! :-D Got a few more bits powdercoated and assembled ...

Morning. Hope you're all safe and well...... and finding time for your projects! I've managed to find a little time recently to get a few bits done on the project so thought i'd drop a little update. Some parts finally got their nice new powdercoating... Powder coated parts.jpg Which means I can sta...

Thanks HubbaDubba... going to be a long process getting it to where i'd like it to be... but i'm confident i'll get there one day :-D Need to get the BC coilovers ordered at some point. Did your kit come with adjustable front top mounts? Missed a week on the updates. Been busy getting tyre machines ...

We’ll be watching with interest, tune in to next weeks episode folks! Seriously though, this can be tricky balancing customer work, your project and dare I say it... an understanding family. Thanks Dave. :-D Sounds like you have some understanding of balancing all those things ;-) but yes.. it can ...

Absolutely love it!!! Looks great!

Excellent work so far! Anything else planned?

Well, another week gone and i've made some more progress..... New hubs as one of the old ones was well past keeping, new bearings and bolts too ready for assembly into the powder coated carriers when i've done them. hubs.jpg Cylinder head has been mostly dismantled before it's refurb... Cylinder hea...

Errr... ignore my question about the wide arch kit. I could have sworn when i looked it said it was out of stock.
Think i need one for mine.

First ever car trophy at the weekend, top 20 at oh so retro show, was a bit shocked as there were lots of cars there I thought were better than mine. bloody good show though, 2 other mk2’s there, green gt2 and a red gt (I think, can’t remember ) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191003/a624263dae4...

How about Gunmetal colour ..... they’ve come up a treat Simon, nice job[emoji106] Thanks Dave. They do look pretty good just as they are in gunmetal colour... but planning on using BC coilovers.... h-18-br-ra-2_grande.jpg So thinking along the lines of gold for some of the suspension components. :-...

You can still get subframes from most of the seat manufacturers i think. Sparco, Cobra, Corbeau etc. Then drop a sliding runner kit on top and drop their seats on top of that. Cobra Le man seats always look good in the retro VW's in my opinion! :)

Well, the first week has gone ok so far. Progress has been made!! :-D The guy I bought it off had planned to just break it for parts to rebuild his race car when needed, although luckily he didn't break his own too often out on track so very few parts are needed now to make it complete again. :-D Fr...

Thanks Dave. Going to need all the boosts I can get! Thanks Fresco. Actually hoping that the winter months will give me more time in the shop to work on it as I will have less customers popping in with their cars when the weather is bad. If you do decide to break your GTX I could put together a list...
