Speedster Build

So only one has been built in france and i plan on making a second with a functional trunk instead of a fiberglass piece. The project has already started and plan on finishing. im going to be swapping from auto to standard. and from 8v to 16v with carbs.
heres the pics so far.






more pictures as i go any suggestions on an all engine set-up with carbs. would be of help. and if someone can point me toward how to do a front end conversion to round headlights

wow! unique one! just wondering if you will any issues with rigidity on this? if all the doors are open, the car will want to fold, meaning you may have to stiffen the floor accordingly, as for the front end! you'll need the wings, grill, lights and possibly bonnet, you wanna swap as i have all these parts lol!

i think you may have lost the plot a little! lol.  keep it up, i wanna see what happens next!

im looking forward to seeing theis progress, looks like its gonna be a fun car

Might have been easier to start with a cabby due to the re-inforced floor…

Good effort though. Keep it up - I wanna see it finished!

Any updates, Highly interested

managed to get sometime to do work on the car. heres some new picks.






hope to be able to do the big cut sometime this week. oh and i still need to pull the gas tank out.

this is the car i was trying to find a while ago

yeah ive seen that one. didnt really care for the body kit on it. i like the trunk area tho. anyway i took a seat today in my project.

just stick a couple of trolley wheels on the middle bit mate and she's a go-er

ill give it a try it rolls around pretty easy now.

Well had some time to measure and make the second cut in the floor and heres how it turned out. getting closer to welding it back together. should start welding on friday or saturday if i can get the stupid glue from the carpet off and cleaned up.
heres some update pics.

?

I don't get it - I thought you were building a speedster, not a short wheelbase clown car?

Just my opinion but that thing is a sorry mess.

T

front clipper bumper would help…. lever it in to the skip…

i dont mind it actually, with the clipper front bumper on it

junk the front and but a small black bumper and gti spoiler with a 2 lamp grill and that would look the nuts.

Also that was done in the 90s so its bang on trend.

What about the roof though!!!

T :doh:

An undignified end to another Golfs life  

Poor old Golf

no roof for this one. i do plan on adding a small black bumper and doing the 2 round conversion from the square lights.
