Hey Lee,
Do you lose much strength out of that rear valance by having it removable? I'd just expect that you would...

Hey Lee,
I try to get up your way about once a month to spend some quiet time up at My Father-in-law's (Tony Noonan) block at Monkerai not far from your
place. Would love to call in one day and give your jug a test run while I perv at your project.
Drop me a line and I'll try and tee up some tea bags and coffee.
The Bronze.

Sorry its taken so long to answer Your question, I haven't checked this one .... Well I'm not sure Steve, the Fibreglass is quite thick -
and because of the shape, doesn't bend or flex etc.. the 2 sides- plus the bottom curves under a fair way. I don't want to cut it for the
exhaust - that would weaken it - so the exhausts will be coming out from under it or the guards.. I did think of just
cutting round holes in it for the exhaust... not sure how that would look... maybe the easist way out.... I have also thought of placing a brace
across it made from steel or aluminium.. When its all bolted together [with guards] its probably close to the strength of the original tinware...

ahhh double!
what you wanna do sounds exactly like what i wanna do with my 69!
it'll be low, aero guards, fibreglass rear valance, an exhaust sticking out a hole in either the rear valance or a rear aeroguard ot in front of
the rear wheels! (  ) i wanna get pop out rears, it has an aftermarket pop
up sunroof and is getting painted bright bright bright neon "ouch it hurts my eyes" white. only thing is i don't have the engine for it
yet... but it will be an EA82 subaru with front mount radiator and 17" chrome wheels.
but b'sides my non-vw mods, i luv your taste in cars... this one should be a real looker when it's done! i love the multicoloured engine
more pics please!
