Re: VWRX 1303 cab
There has been quite a lot of rust repair!
Cut down Kamei flush fit to body
Exhaust and rear valance finished
radiator intake
Air filter system
Time to get the chassis out of the garage and get ready for prep/paint on the body now!

Re: VWRX 1303 cab
Sorry for the lack of posts recently, the biggest job has been stripping the underneath of the whole body to get it all painted in epoxy mastic. Bloody horrible job!
I took a gamble on a 996/boxster spacesaver wheel fitting and it does with loads of space to spare in a variety of positions! For interest, the tyre size is 105/95R17.
I cleaned up the rear of the front valance and welded on some bolts for the intake mesh, all edges prepped for plug welding on.
50x3mm strip with captive nuts welded on to the bottom between the inner wings to give a rigid mounting face for the air dam.
Front valance plug welded back on along the sides and bottom and then painted up in the epoxy. It's made the whole front end incredibly rigid!You can see I also painted the whole underside of the body in epoxy.
Carpet strip plug welded back on to the top of the heater channel and painted.
rear interior modified bodywork given a good epoxy coating
Rear end also got the epoxy treatment. Just about ready to start on the external paint prep now!

Re: VWRX 1303 cab
paint prepwork.
Rear quarter panel skimmed and smoothed...
I welded up the LHD wiper holes
Bonnet needed a few sections replaced due to poor previous repairs rusting
Kamei mocked up again, luckily there is a suitable double bend on the bottom of the front wings to mount to. I plan to make a mould out of the cut down Kamei piece and a metal strip that will be bolted up on to the body, I'll then make up a fibreglass part.
All mocked up to see the final effect. I don't think I'll get away with running the numberplate there unfortunately!
Bodyworking the rear wings next...
