went up on the weekend and played with it but unfortunately forgot the camera so no pics but luckly not much has changed. it now has the stereo wired up as well as the 2 speed switch for the heater fan, both gauge panels are in with the guages fitted, the breather has been sealed and bolted in place. i didnt get a chance to fit ether the stickers or the new shifter. the back seats getting dropped off to the upholster this week some time and the sunvisors should be done at the same time. i thought it couldnt be too noisy with only heater boxes on so i started it up and i think i woke people up in the next town 😉

no offense barls, but have you ever heard 'never ending story'?
ah, but who am I to talk, a nine 9 month project took me 3 and half years :duh
i have heard of the neverending story, it was quite good at the cinema. but there is a light at the end of the tunnel after almost 20 months

excelent work barls i just scrolled through the whole link shes looking great but like
wes i just cant deal with the front guards but please prove us wrong with those wheels of yours
show us your gates
ok had a visit from the old man with some more pics. here it is with the exhaust finished. from the rear
under left guard
under right guard
and some under car pics
it now also has a stereo fitted but no speakers in the car yet. so here is another little different idea with the antenna.
after so long of the door trim sitting in the office they have been fitted so here they are

And the award for the longest exhaust to be fitted to a VW goes to...
BARLS!!!😁
But seriously, looks like a great design, nice and quite and you get to keep your heaters, 👍
Can't wait to see what comes next.
next is the rest of the interior and the airbox. id like to say that even though the old man has been working his arse off its not going to make the nats this year. maybe the next show though

ok just got back from playing with it and here are some new pics
the new interior with shifter, front speakers and extinguisher fitted
here are all the trims fitted
and rear seat
and the test fitting of the parcel shelf
the electric washer pump fitted
here are some new ones of the air box as well, with the cover fitted
without
the rims fitted up on it
the lowered front end
we rotated the muflers under the car to gain clearance to the tires
as a result one of the tail pipes doesnt fit and needs to be redone
and whats this the biggest surprise of all
its registered and street legal as of yesterday. the old man will be driving it to help tidy it up and get it tuned

Looking good there Barls-I can't figure what you have done with the front speakers-they don't seem to stick out very far.
congrats barls...its been a long time coming, but it looks like it your patience has paid off.
sit back, relax, let dad fine tune it..and grab yourself a few beers
:beer:beer:beer
(bet ur smile is about half a mile wide)
dubless. 🥲
🥷 And who the helled parked the Mitsubishi "Prancer" under my house??? 🥷
cheers all my smile is about a mile wide at the moment, it sounds great unfortunately i didnt get a movie to show you all how it sounds. the front speakers are just in a set of those plastic kick panels from empi that i covered in dynamat to give them some strength now only need the silvia fronts seats to be upholstered and the left one to be fitted and it will be finished for the moment anyway
