Well I just got my intermediate housing for my 091 from LandD products. To those that asked I know they are not real flash with responding to emails
but the service is first rate when you lay down you cash It only took a
week from order to being in my hands.
I've got a bit happening with the car other wise but I don't take many pictures

Cool car, I like the narrowed with twists look front end. Almost thought I was looking at 2443TT's post for a minute.

look it's not the cheapest part I've ever got at 500 USD but from all accounts it the way to go with the 091. I still have a load more to get from
Albins and a funky shifter is on the cards but as Matt points out I still have 11 months lol, I'd better get a move on.

for Reub, I don't know how other people fit one piece windows but here are my suggestions. 1) only get twin lift regulators 2) using the winder hole
as a reference and a spirit level clamp the regulator frame in place, ensure the base of the regulator is parallel to the window. Make up some
bracket to picj up the two lower mounts. Make them then tack them in, bolt them up with some long bolts amd then use a marker to mark out the
remaining three mounts. This is harder than it sounds so take your time. That's it, once the window is in it will not rattle

oh is should alos mention that you will need an air chisel to take out the 1/4 window track. It's pretty easy but take your time as they are a nasty
little tool
I've just been doing rust repair this week and I've started to make some cuts up the front for the radiator.

Sorry Matt, I'm trying to keep as much material as possible but it
would be easy to fix up if it ever goes back to VW power. You might want to look away when I do the firewall and inner guards
where is my air hack-saw?
