Thanks every one for the support, vision got worse after the op, but is starting to get a little back now.
Thought I'd put the notch together ready to make the supports for the front and rear, and position the radiator, fuel tank and pumps. I want the body to lift off with out removing the tank and radiator, for easy maintenance.
Barry did some more rust repairs
Cut the tank, fits perfectly (20L) and rad is in position
Made a block to move the oil filter over 25mm
Starting to look the part

Damn that's phat! 😵💫
My favourite notch Aaron 👍
awesome work Aaron.
Have you plans for that tank off cut? You won't believe it, but I'm doing the same for an off-roader and his needs extending. We've already done the mounts but were needing to fab the extra section off tank. Your off-cut would werk beautifully 😉 .

A favourtite car from way back in the day.... Thought you might like it!!!!
Pizzo Bros beautiful racer from 1992 and 9.4 s car with 466 hp.
The notch is looking very cool Aaron - nice work indeed. Glad to see you are keeping Baz busy - he doesn't get enough rust at work or on his panel van, luckily he loves it hey!
🙂
Al
Thanks for the pics humpty, I came across this car a while a go, respectable times too.
Thanks Al, I'm pretty happy with it so far too.
Baz has been a big help, he takes a lot of pride in his panel fab, and loves the rust that I left for him.
I'll return the favour when he starts his wifes type 4, turbo, efi, early notch.
I've been getting the Kombi ready for Warwick, now it's dynoed and ready to go.
I have a couple of vw autos to build and 3 rotariy engines to build after Warwick, then it's back on to the notch to get it to the track ASAP.

Unfortunately I still have the three rotaries to build to help pay for my eye so will be about 4 weeks until the type three gets back in the shed.
I also want to get the bus back to the track for that 10 second pass ASAP.

I dont understand why people keep saying this
😂
With the turbos done, I'll start porting the engine, and remove some of the 3er panels, interior, engine & box.
I agree with Stanley, you are a freak hahaha, always coming up with something fun and "outside the square"... love the custom turbo work keep the updates flowing :P

Of course it's outside the square. It's a notchback not a squareback!
😂😂😂😂

🙂If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.
Just thought I'd throw a little more inspiration out there Aaron...
😘
Chad Daileys' project...
And Kris Lauffers' new purchase...
Any updates on this build Aaron ? cheers Terry 😁
You got nothing I want - COLD CHISEL 🙅
thread killer 🥷
The only update is that Ive pushed it back into the work shop but still haven't touched it.
I now have plans to cut the pan out and then complete every thing to have some track time.
I have another design for the rear suspension using air bags.

This is how it sat for 9 months collecting wasp nests spiders and rust.
Time to get started again
Cut the pan out, it weighs 56kg, the new plasma cutter came in very handy!!
The white pipe is where I'm thinking of making new bars, 14.3 kg, so that's 41.7kg saving
Cut away the fire wall and the inner sills.
Also cut out the parcel tray and a bit more of the rear

Awesome Aaron...look forward to seeing the progress.
I had to work around the two white pipes which run from front to rear then 'v' together as they are actually the coolant pipes for the engine.

I can't believe its been 9 months!
Wow, just read from start to finish. How did I ever miss this, top stuff 👍
You are definitely a talented man with all your knowledge and skills, I take me hat off to you 👍
I would find it hard to cut up your hard work after all the time it takes, but I guess it is for the better.
Keep up the great work and the photos as this is the best way some of us dummies to learn stuff.
Cheers, Kev
