This is how to store a body to take less space, I can now lift it on my own.
Cutting through 42mm pipe to allow the 33mm pipe to run through the front for the radiator

Not the priettiest being a biginner, but way stronger than mig welding, there's always time to improve.
Just so time consuming!!!

Great work as always Aaron.
Nice Aaron...I find getting into a comfy position the key which can be a problem with TIG.

I didn't realise it has TWO turbo's.... I'm stoked to see you back on the notch, can't wait for more photos.
Really enjoying your thread & build pics Aaron, cheers Barry
Another one.I can't believe how many really talented people hang around this site.Just scroll down the Drag Racing thread and check out all the cars being built-awesome.Only place you need to be for inspiration.Well done Aaron.
good to see you're back on the notch Aaron. Can always cut out a sunroof to get that bit extra weight saving!!
I think I've seen cars left to rot in fields with more metal than yours.....😂😂😂

Not much happening, though I thought i'd modify the stock type 3 rims for the front last week.

This is a understatement but you are one clever guy.I was lucky to have you install my radiator some 4 years ago.My son cody still talks about watching your black kombi at warwick.
Speed holes😂
BEING ASPIRATED FEELS GREAT BUT BEING BLOWN TAKES THING TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL....
Thanks john, wow how time flies!!
Speed holes!!! Haha... Nar just don't like the look of stock 4 stud rims

What a top idea!
Grind those hub cap bumps off and get them chromed and you've got a sweet set of custom steel mags!😂
Got some time to work on the notch tonight
Front guards are mounted, have to mount the bonnet radiator and fuel tank.
Then on to the rear guards.
Who would know there's nothing under the bonnet. I could wack some plates on it, tint the whindows to hide the cage and go for a spin.😂😂

I love the way you work, I would take me a week to knock that up! Bit of time at night is all you need!😂
Might need a muffler or 2 to drive it on the street lol

Hell yeh....drove mine on the street with no muffler
Inbetween full time courier driving and rebuilding vw automatic transmissions I found a bit more time for the notch.
Fuel tank mount and a strap to hold it down
Radiator mount, no bolts needed at all
Bonnet bracket. It's funny how much factory stuff you cut off then have to totally redesign it all again.
Both rear guards and rear apron are mounted with a total of 4 dzuse clips and 2 quick bolts (push bike quick release hub cam bolts).
This makes it very quick and easy to work on by myself.
This frame part is bolted to a stock guard and slips on to the body.
Plenty of access when you need it.
