Brilliantly absurd. Well done, and it was nice to meet you at Stoneleigh.

Quick mock-up of the rear LED light.
Cosmic Ray vents.

Hey Barber, was great to meet up with you too.
It is a little 'absurd' this one, not a 'normal' kit car build, that's for sure!

Chrome torsion arms, spindles & backplates back on.

Cutdown some old headlight bowls to make a f'glass pulley cover.

Looking really good. I love the skinny front tyres!

Cheers Dpaz, they are kinda weird looking, but work well with the torsion arm suspension.
Had a play with some flake, this is over a black base, might try silver.

Loving this build. Mad is good.

Debanding steels I didn’t know that was a thing :)

Keep up the good work.

Neither did I, maybe I've started something!?!
The VW bolt pattern is not that common, so wheel selection is difficult, so made sense to change what I had.

I am getting there slowly!!
Purchased the car in March 2018, not too bad, considering had a month off in Australia and another month off for heart operation!

LOVE this build, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the update seen you have posted on some other forums too .. I think every one appreciates it’s different and out there ...

Cheers Redrat, it is a bit 'out there' and to be honest, I'm surprised at the reception.
Thought there would be some negativity, because it is so different.

Been busy here in Weston-Super-Mud, got the V5 back, its now Agent Thor and slapped some paint on.

Terrific!
Flake job looks great.
29 May 2019, 8:29pm
Cheers Molleur, was going for a sedate subtle look, nothing too loud!
29 May 2019, 8:33pm
of course!

Colin – Lovin’ the paint. :cool:

Good luck finishing it all off.

Cheers, Paul. :)

Looking really good, understated, nothing too radical! Anyone who doesn't like it doesn't understand therefore should be ignored.

Looks great!
