so to update a little it was time to change a few things 1st up some more chrome

wipers and some caps

I needed to go a little lower so i had to notch the drivers side you can see the rub marks on the shaft

so i stripped that side out

what the chassis looked like

i then marked out the ares and cut all the way through the chassis leg, cut metal tube to size and began welding it in

i also welded a plate above it for extra strength

primed it and seam sealed it

and painted it

Next up was the fuel pump i was running a pump and accumilator in the boot as my lines run inside the car, this made the car smell of fuel so time to change it all

the old pump

i needed to change the fuel tank to a gti tank as it was running the old 1.1 tank with pick up pump in the tanks
so i sourced a gti tank

bought a new bosch pump this one is good to run upto 500 bhp

out came the old tank in with the new one

i made up a mounting bracket for the pump and another for the filter and added teflon braided hose

no more bad fuel smells
