Ahh OK
That is just something that I saw in either ultra Vw or V world mag
I just think that it looked
with that piece like that, But I need to make a brace for it so that it does not bend upwards.
If I do get tired of it I can always cut it off.

So will it help you to pick up more seatcovers? Or let them show you their hooters? Or is it just for shits and giggles?
I suppose I'll just have to wait till it's Finnish to see what the end result is......

Nice colour. Looks really good.
Are you going to run a extended front end? Or just turn the front suspension around to increase the wheelbase.

No I am keeping it standard
otherwise I have to extend the steering column and that is too much work
I want to get it finished

So sorry Barry
Its too late for you now, your car is looking so good now you cant start cutting corners now
As I said before this is a quick project to get rid of some surplus parts that I have laying around, and if someone wants to buy it oneday then that is also OK

Thanks for posting the pics blitz
I used a chemical resistant paint, Carboline 938 (red) and Carboline 188 HB (black)
The inside of the pan is done with a "special" technique
which gives it that matt look and rough texture
The body has already been mated with the pan but as of yet I do not have any pics
But as usual you will be the first to see them (sorry make that second
)

I am guessing the idea would be to make it into a leading arm, rather than trailing arm design
While I am sure it would still go down the road, I'm not sure I'd want to be in the vicinty.......
