Great job! I’m envious!

Torque bars finished, mounts fabricated and welded to the chassis. Also had a good session on the inner sill repair but no pic of that lol. Hector should have the engine next week too

Went and saw Pete at cogbox last week who milled 5mm off the back of my fondmetals





Got a sensible amount of clearance now

Excuse the crinkled arch lip, that’s from a blow I had a couple years ago

I heard Pete’s the man for an upgraded gearbox.

That's a better fit.

Pete is the gearbox master! I’ve known him for a long time and he’s done a few boxes for me for myself and customers. Although I did have a brief flirtation with John Walklett which ended up a monumental mistake when Pete had put doing boxes on hold due to personal reasons a few years back

The box in my bus now is a fully built 091 6 rib race spec box from cogbox. Heavy duty gears, welded hubs & forks, nitrous gear ratios determined by Pete, limited slip diff along with all the special mods which he does to such builds.

I also had Pete do a nice box for my girlfriend 1960 bug to compliment a hot 1600cc me and Hector put together. Box is based on a 1972 GT beetle box so still swing axle and has the nice 3.88 ring & pinion for motor way cruising but was fully rebuilt, swapped to short axle, close ratio 3rd & 4th and Bugpack super diff.

Thanks, sits in there perfect I think
