My Resto 1982.... New engine start videos.

if vw no longer sell the glue

take them to your local glass place they should be able to sort them for you

the glue is UV so it cures with UV light. used to use it at work to glue glass displays together

Perfect! Thanks for the info.

Started mocking up my pedal box. Not sure if cardboard will be up to the job though?

obviously you should use genuine vw quantum cardboard boxes to make this part. safety issue! 8O

paper mache would be better lol

Would be a bit messy though. Think I might go with steel.

Got a lot achieved today. Will let the pictures do the talking.

Firstly made another cardboard mock up of the pedal box.




Then started on the metalwork, A lot of tacking on to measure and then cutting bits off.



Then all welded up and finished.




Now some nice pictures





Might get it powdercoated. Not sure if I will need an extra brace as I'm not using it for track but might do one anyway.

Nice job, get powdercoated and will look the nuts 8)

I like too that I'm not the only one with car parts laying around the house

Thanks! My problem was worse when I didn't have my unit! lol
Only have the pretty things that I like looking at all the time at home.
Only got the RS for that Passat and the Opening vent windows for the mk1 atm. lol

I've got pretty much all the parts in my house…under beds, in cupboards, drawers…. :-) lol

Awesome job mate.. love what you did with the ventalation system. I want the same in my mk1..

Thinking about it.. where´s the things you used, from?

okay, not bad :-)

There is a link to the computer fans I bought from america a few pages back when I was doing it and the demister is a BMW E30 rear screen demister. But the E36 ones are better apparently.

okay, thx mate :-)

http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/product/Electric_Demist_Heater_DEMST do you think that i could use this maybe?

I don't see why it wouldn't mate.

Remade my pedal box today but a bit neater. Will get some pics tomorrow.

looking forward to see them :-) but i was wundering how do you get breakfluid in them? they are inside the car and under the dash, right?

I will also take some new pic, this weekend..

Well if I wont be able to get to them just by taking the under dash bit out then I will have to take the dash out To top up the fluid. Will be ok.

okay :-)
