Jetta

In a way...scrutineering has made me build the car how it should be built...not just thrown together to get it back on the road.

back seat out...spare wheel well needs 2 more spot welds drilling out and it will drop out Boot floor is ground down...so just need to hoover it out and the boot is ready for paint

pics needed mike

Will take some more when I get back out to the garage either on new years eve or at the weekend as I'm working at the garage until then. Will post them up when I get back to the office monday as my phone lead is there. Hoping to see what the interior paint looks like before Monday too

its going to be light as phook

It will be light...but then there is about 70 kilos of cage to go in yet

and mike aswell really will interested to see when its done keep it up

Mike's working on his weightloss too

Cheers dude...am trying to get all the prep work done for when I have the money to get the parts I need. Getting the little bits as I go along and saving for the big bits. I now have a complete cylinder head ready for porting, the block ready to go away for lightening/balancing work...the windows are at the lexan place being made...and most of the other engine bay parts are in paint

back seat out...tidying up to do to get it to look neat.



wheel well out





and now got a couple of holes to weld up

extreme weightloss what are you thinking this will weigh mike?

Not sure dude...with me in it before it weighed 919kgs.

Will be happy if the weight stays the same after i put the cage in...but as long as it is close to what it was before i won't be too unhappy

when will it be all working again then? silly question but will it still be road reg'd?

I'm hoping to have it ready for July...but all depends on cash flow. I have the parts list of everything i need....so just waiting on cash.

It will still be road legal...but only just Will be needing to remove the nitrous bottle for road use...after i have tested it out

isnt the rules for nitrous on the road that in can be installed but not armed? i mean your way makes sence because you cant get your everyday chav using it Is that at the pod in july?

I think they are the rules...but i know i will only end up arming it to show some t**t up in his chav wagon

Will do some testing on the road though

I am hoping to be out for BugJam all done and dusted and set up for a spanking...but we will see

Radiator specs have been sent...now just waiting for a price

A few boring nights spent in the garage...doesn't look like a lot but is a pain in the arse!







Will have the rest of it removed by Monday and will hopefully have cut out the door inners to lose some more weight

Keep it up mate

its not illegal to use on the street in the UK, in Canada having an empty bottle is worst than rape. apparently if you get caught using it or if its fully conected but your not using it they take your car and crush it straight away no matter what car your in :| and apparently once you tell the insurance company you have nitrous and a roll cage your fucked.
