i think this is a different car to the light blue one that is now also white yeh?

[Valver.]

Epic!
I thought it was the ballz when it was light blue, this is just a whole notha level.
Please tell me your doin some of the work yourself and not just paying others to do it for you.

Hell no. The only thing I haven't done is welded in the cage - this was done years ago No one else gets near this thing!! I can't stand cheque book builds. Yes, I have poured some money in, but it's all my own work down to every nut, bolt and drop of paint.

Thats what i wanted to hear! Maximum props man!
IMO Cheque book builds are sad and boring, no matter how flash it might be or how much money they keep bragin they pumped in to it, if you havnt done it yourself then you dont diserve any credit for the work.

Keep it up mate, ive always loved your work.

I totally agree. People are only ever paying to use skills someone else has learnt or been taught previously, so I see no reason why anyone building a car can't teach themselves how to do any of the things they want.

I don't see how you could ever feel connected to a 'project' if you didn't build it yourself, or even come close to the excitement of finishing one that has been all your own work.

Having a go is what it's all about. I think this is where we're all better than most of the Europeans and yanks who pay to play

Here's a cheque-book build for both of you. It's epically weak, but totally amazing at the same time.

OT, when can we expect some pictures?

[Jace]

Where's the updates!

Where's the updates!

Haha! I'll try and get some pics this weekend. I have most of the rear suspension assembled so the car can sit on the ground, just need to finish off the front end. I'm also waiting on the rear camber plates, which will tuck the rears under properly. I also have a stack of carbon parts coming from Germany, which I paid upfront for over a year ago, so getting pretty impatient with this one... In other words, it's still a waiting game!

In a couple of weeks time I'm off work to finish it, so the updates will come through pretty consistently then... I promise

You said that last week!
Well okay, i'll be patient....

Good job on impressing VWVortex. Not easily achievable.
