Tempted to do it on the VTS before i get the front resprayed

thanks mate just been told once i get the panels on take it back to the sprayer and he is gona blend it all so it looks spot on to the car

didnt use much filler at all i did fill the hole with filler and it worked but wanted it as stronger so poped it out and put fiberglass in too easy enough todo i thought all the smoothing was going to be a pain in the ass todo but its been a fun project in the garage 5am listening to dub sanding away having a beer lol

[liam_b]

have got both door builds to the same level and made them alot stronger just gotta finish off flushing the mids then fiberglass the pods and make it look all fancy. going to be testing the car this weekend so thought i wud get abit more bracing and sealing done too.









well found abit of spare perspex laying around in the garage to thought i would protect the batterys i no some people where worryed about the terminals just incase someone got the idea to chuck there keys on them. have been thinking about how to do it with keeping it looking smart and also be able to charge the batterys without needing any tools. going to have a search for some rubber boots to put over the bolts when not charging

[Tontsy]

as always looking good Liam!
when you next in the mouth?

ive just got myself some Gti leather! so plan on keeping the Sax!
so tomorrow the making of some pods will begin! along with the false floor for the boot! now that i have one again!

[Lippy]

liking the battery cover! looks sweet!

was scrolling through the pictures and wondering if one day you'd fit led's to that too and then scrolled down and you dont even need to as you have so many elsewhere lol

your worse than me! lol
