hats of again and again to you rash! mk2 Golfy is comming along strong

 

[rashcupra]

thanks for comments ive only HIT the engine and gearbox and clutch cylinders with hammerite

 

[UncleFester]

Looking very smart indeed that Rash - what's the expected date to finish ( not that it will ever be truly finished)

 

[rashcupra]

well finish date is ages away as when supercharger is on and running is when its finished but to have engine in and working and car rebuilt without s.charger im guessing 2 months on the road! depending on parts ect but hopefully it will be supercharged before edition 38

 

[UncleFester]

Easy before then - you'll have polished it back to bare metal three times before you get to that

 

[danmay]

looks better and better everytime i see it mate!
maybe up for some honours at e38 too

 

[Damoegan]

This project has come together so fast Rash.

Looks awsome mate, top marks

 

[h17och]

HoocH

 

[diss_50]

Rash - Dont tell me the VWAudi Forum is getting updates before us lot! tut tut! lol

 

[Ad Lav]

wow, someone's been mighty busy!

Looks great mate, must pop over sometime and check it all out!

 

[Czechboy]

You're a nutter Rash, I love your project. And the best thing is that you don't hang about, so there are always new updates. Its going to be the dogs danglies when finished with the standard vr6 lump, and a mad mans car once its charged as well.

Hats off to you
