Morning all, it's been a while and this is because I am very lazy :)

Anyhoo, the good news is..... the car is now booked into the bodyshop at the end of April :ok:

The bad news is, I have a lot to do / have had a lot to do so heres a brief update on what's been happening and where I am up to.

To ...

Afternoon all, so it's been some time hasn't it :s apologies. I actually haven't done much with the Zender build over the past 6 months or so but I do intend to have it in the bodyshop at some point this year to hopefully build up and finish next year :)

So what have I been doing I hear you ask ...

Looking crazy as ever :) looking forward to seeing this develop.

There are going to be some crazy Scirocco's in a couple of years time aren't there.

Talking of paint, guessing your sticking with the standard colour? brilliant black?


It's going back to black yeah but it's not currently standard black, it's a later VW Metallic which it will be again...... unless i have a mad one before it goes into the bodyshop and decide on a colour ...

In general, I'm not a fan of customisation, but have to admit, this one should look fantastic - looking forward to seeing it in paint. Being shape wise quite radical, I'm hoping you'll keep the paint fairly muted, which I think would give it class.


Thanks buddy. The paint is going to be pretty ...

Haha, I doubt it'll be ready for next year's but definitely 2023. It's due in the bodyshop in February and then it's a nice slow build up with all new bits and pieces

Apologies all, it's been a while I know! I have been busy either out on the motorbike during summer or out playing weddings with my covers band so the car has just been sat waiting to be fondled which it very much has of late so here goes;

Firstly I removed all the wiring, and dash..... i'm looking ...

Great build this buddy. I am just rebuilding my MK2 with a similar engine so your engine mods looks like things I will look to do :)

Great thread this, I shall be looking to copy hopefully :)

Does anybody know of anybody in the UK that makes new looms?

I'm currently doing a rebuild and my loom is looking very sorry for itself so a nice new one would finish things off nicely.

Thanks

I managed to force myself into the garage this weekend and finally remove all of the original bodykit..... It wasn't as hard as I was expecting but it was sweaty work [emoji1787] simple case of applying some pressure and getting in behind with a blade to slice the tiger seal.

Seeing as it was all I ...

Lmao good shout

Speaking of re-naming a thread, is that possible? I can't seem to see how you can do it.
