Samuel Cole's mk1 berg-cup g40 project

Looks good to me mate. Are you sticking with the red now or are you not happy with it?

reds good just needs a few touchups, to tidy up!

then a few bits painting black or silver etc, looks great in the bay

Did you get the shafts mate?

yes jamie, its all alligned now and the mounts in just slacking on the old updates :O

Keep me coming! I've come to a halt with the jetta at the mo, awaiting my space in the body shop early January to paint the bay and sort out the front panel and get that painted too.
On the engine side, I've done as much as I can until it gets painted, new brake pipes, new fuel lines, new in tank pump, new brake bar all powder coated with the big servo setup, big block mount welded in and small block mount removed, few brackets removed, also waiting on my loom from vagtronics, that should be back mid January,May be on the road end of jan!

Sorry for lack of updates been seriously busy and have updated edition 38 and not here :O shock! anyways heres a quick one!

getting excited about it now as its slowly coming all together, cant wait for paint, need to restrain myself spending too much over christmas to get the paint done asap!

in the wheel department the 3 piece split front and rear dishes have been produced and they loooook stunning! want to wait till there here (probably end of jan) before posting pics really, just to tease the sizes are:

14x 9j et -10

14x10.5 et-1

dishy to say the least 

more updates with the engine:

got a motor sport clutch and gripper plate diff :












got a new throttle body and dewedged it for extra few bhp, also got a gt inlet which reduces air flow restriction so again more bhp

hopefully to get more ponies from a cam set and a general service and with decent exhaust etc!

also started prepping and painting

before:











covered in old oil and servo fluid, all down the left side and rear, right mess!





cleaning:







first tried it in matte black... no likey









looks smart but not interesting enough!









with box:

AWSM stuff, great build, i have just finish my motor also, and had a test fitting on the chassis. i will also go for the berg-cup body it clasy and will never fade.  Better trow a lock on this site, they manufacture plastic kits for the mk1 chassis.
