Bit more work today with the arch. I am however questioning the vent position and size. I currently have it set between the body lines but looks possibly too high and small. http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu16/liambmx08/mk2%20scirocco/IMG_20170331_191558_zps6bblg6uh.jpg http://i629.photobucket.c...

I'll just leave these here.

i did the same on crusty and all that welding takes ages! takes quite a while to get the right level because the angle of the roof skin for some reason doesn't quite line up with the outer body as it curves towards the outer edge. looks good so far tho Yeah noticed that. I'm constantly running a st...

Instead of talking about arches again I thought whilst I wait for materials I'd get to sorting the roof. I wanted to get rid of the roof rubbers and make a nice smooth surface. In comes metal, a welder and some patience. http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu16/liambmx08/mk2%20scirocco/IMG_20170328_1...

Awesome, looks like a LHD. Was it within the UK?

hmm. i can't find it either now. sorry. so do you have the vr6 yet or is that just a plan down the line? i have just got myself a vr6 and am likely to have questions.... I haven't grabbed the engine. I have a VR6 golf at the moment and its possible option to remove that. I am however interested in ...

Mental. Has a golf rallye, Quattro ur feel. Have you seen the wide arch shell on eBay? Similar thing really. Now i have gone through this design this is the right route. I was always unsure of the berg style arches, whereas these just get me excited to finish. I haven't seen it, just spend 10 mins ...

Also mocked up the vent. Starting with a CAD (cardboard aided design) template. http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu16/liambmx08/mk2%20scirocco/IMG_20170325_175449_zpsnrn3pxjh.jpg Cut out basic shape. http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu16/liambmx08/mk2%20scirocco/IMG_20170325_175500_zps8owwgebp.j...

Sorted the positioning of the starting point. Next is the following panel underneath cut out from thick cardboard. This lines up with the current body lines.

even fiberglass ones could be popular, once its finished and hitting shows take details for people who want them. once a mould is made fiberlass or resin ones can be pumped out. if you have spare material one that acceps the bumper would be ideal for production if you fancy the initial hassle I hav...

i think if people are gonna go for steel arches they would put up with modding to take the bumpers whilst fitting you never know, might be decent demand Its possible. Will have to wait and see. Would be good to help offset all the money i am spending on materials to try different designs. Ordered n...

im sure once you have a patern people would be interested in puchasing a set of arches for their cars... mighr be worth tapering the bottom of the fuel cap lip to make jamming the nozzel in Ahh good thinking about the nozzle, I'll amend that. Thanks for the heads up. Thing is these arches at built ...

I'm going to make them from steel as I'm tempted to make these a permanent fixture instead of bolt on. Worst case if I want them as bolt on I have a very sturdy version to make the plug off. Started to make the steel bits. http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu16/liambmx08/mk2%20scirocco/IMG_20170325...

Had a play around with some cardboard. I'll just leave this here, possible change of plan.....ahhhhhhhh http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu16/liambmx08/mk2%20scirocco/IMG_20170325_121401_zpstz051ab5.jpg http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu16/liambmx08/mk2%20scirocco/IMG_20170325_115811_zpszc3lkny...

Bit more work done today. Made up the vertical piece from the boot latch area to the new inner boot panel. http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu16/liambmx08/mk2%20scirocco/IMG_20170320_181119_zpslmzuj7im.jpg http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu16/liambmx08/mk2%20scirocco/IMG_20170320_181919_zpszn4t...
