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.

a little more gearbox porn, Albins cro-moly nut and 3rd~4th slider. Hopefully I'll pick up a super diff next month as long as my wife does not see the visa lol

looking good, I have been driving a subaru bug around for about 9 months now and i am getting a lot of heat soak from the 90deg hot radiator pipes , I am just wondering how you insulated yours??At the moment i have no carpet and my pipes run under my car.
Ps its nice driving around in winter time 🤪

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?
