looks good what rad is thatlooks ideal for what i need

 

Inspiration from your site uncle d

Lol chrisp kindly donated this one

err yeah ahem its a very work in (slow) progress

 

Just a mk2 turb diesel one, its very big !

 

Mine's something similar, "fabricated" using an angle grinder. Once it's
done and it works the desire to make a nicer one pretty much disappears.

 

well no, if you look at the maker pen marks you can see that i cocked it up when measuring it !

 

not as slow as my next shed i bet

 

I want to have a go at off roading, going to have a few days green-landing over the winter to break into it gently, just need to make sure I dont bend it yet as its still shiny and I dont normally possess shiny vehicles

 

wibble

 

I think I win the award for slowness...... I've been *not really very enthusiastically* building my 16vt for about 2 years now - and that's just the engine. Once I finish the engine the Mk2's will be extinct and I'll be trying to fit it into a ten year old Mk8 Golf or something.......

 

nearly there barny

 

Ahh, so thats what you've been doing... bike throttle bodies

 

depending on the lanes you may find them more damaging than expected, this is what a tame offroad track did to my old girl.



there was no fallen trees, overgrown bushes scratching the paint or rough terrain.

Maybe worht going to a offroady place, have a wander round looking at the terrain you'll be driving over first as you dont get that option wghen g-lanin

What beast have you got again ?

 

Throttle Bodies are rubbish



BWWAARRRP!!!

 

got a new one of these for wk

but with a 5ft lighting bar on it

 

OOHH flashy lights - ME Like !!

See if your plastic pig can cope with this here

 

Be prepared for an onslaught of questions when i get a bit closer to finishing it !

 

good luck dude, im sure alot of people will be watching how this all comes together

 

Ah, so the ol' grey mobile has finally seen a bit of light again then

Be having a nose when I'm round again in a couple of weeks
