Ok cheers

I am going to be making up to pans for the dragon

1x kombi 2ltr box

1 x G50 box

I will be pulling the body off at a later date for the G50 box , as I am building a off road racing truck with a turbio VG30 T motor , so many jobs on the go .

But thats me getting it done !

\My WRX arrived as well so thats in the shed now .I going to be throwing in the RS turbo motor I have in the shed into the bug asits out of the front cut , cost $216.66 all up

who has a Fast air cooled motor that cost that hey .


getting it done , seagull Neil

neil richard is sending the front brakes to you as the calipers need some machining i believe,

recieved my torsion bars and bushings .etc all today

also neil, can you give me a call when u get the chance,

the PO-LICE decided to yellow sticker my ute and it would not be worth saving so i am thinking i might have to put the subie conversion on hold and register the vw with a 1600 or something cos i have no transport now.

would like to talk to you regarding engineering the bug with the 1600 but all the cross drilled brakes and racing suspension .etc

would it cost much? just give me a call. 🙂

thanks in advance, anthony

neil, i also know someone whos brother makes cams approved cages here in perth.

i got quoted 1,000 for a half cage (these are fully approved cages remember)

and weld in or bolt in was pretty much the same price.
