https://www.justgiving.com/emma-boom-bennett/ Afternoon all, My good lady Emma is entering the ring October for a charity boxing event! Which will see her having 3x2 minute rounds against (hopefully) a woman. Included is 8 weeks training for her to get fighting fit and ready for her contest! There a...

first step get that metal covered in a primer or etch primer.. if you can do the prep yourself you will save a lot of money as said. it's worth getting some quotes from various companies and seeing their work

Love looking at these pictures and very much looking forward to National! Been waaaaay too long

I do feel your pain Steve and understandably the frustration of those you help that then call a problem with the work done! Same as you Tim, hate sorting IT stuff for family and friends especially if the niggle is something that cant go away without a proper hardware fix that they dont want to pay f...

12" wide is what I am running for the white lady. you may well get away with leaving the beam standard if you get the back spacing right for the hub but there is not many inches before the wheels foul the leg of the beam. Northants tyres do a selection of 12" wheels

For me I would go with box or tube cut to the right length rather than cutting and shutting the beam. You can then cut the legs off the old beam and weld them to the new. It gives you another problem though with the beam mounts on the chassis. Some clever sod will get it to work though lol

cool got my front wheels coming! 14x7 centerlines to match my 15x12 rears and cant wait to get them on. will still be able to run 256mm discs which should be adequate slowing from about 130mph at the quarter lol

Cheers Chaps,

Car is in hiding at the moment but I am building up the front suspension and hubs next week along with the custom lower arms too
Its a set back for sure but needs must and I have full faith in Ron getting the car back in so we can continue my dream

Things have got busy at Insane Creations and Ron has asked me if I can move the Scirocco out for a few weeks whilst other projects happen. I wont be stopping as I can work on the car elsewhere and continue building the dream. Yesterday I cut out the arches to fit the rear wheels properly and also cl...

I appreciate I haven't been as involved as say 5 plus years ago but its good to see the class doesn't change and always found 'rocco'ers the best bunch!
thumbs up to the club and will see you all old and new sometime soon!

Cool we now have a fully welded chassis made to Spec 25.1e thanks to Ron at Insane Creations.. Even got a little mock up with the body back on and the door and boot fit being perfect in opening and close.. The next step is floor plans, firewalls and all the little brackets for cables, body mounts, w...

Over time that may happen with the welds and if it happened I would need it fixed.. I trust Ron's work as the chassis is to be inspected for tagging in the next couple of weeks. They will then tell him/me that its not up to the job or fine. Full tube race cars running 3000bhp use this same set up so...

cheers! at present the chassis is all but upside down being welded up ready then for the paint.. The plates are known as motor plates.. we don't use your standard engine mounts so the front of the engine is held in with one plate bolted to the front horns then another plate used as an adapter for th...

I think you would be better finding a breaker and taking the whole roof skin from it.. I don't have the fabrication and welding skills but if it were me I would do it that way.
