[DanChave]

To say this is epic would be a gross understatement! Love it!

Great work Luke. Looks lovely, OEM+ on the outside, with something a little special under the bonnet.

Will have to keep an eye out for it in the SE London area.

btw: don't let DH see those buckets and harnesses.

Cheers guys.

Loks of work still ahead. Mainly niggling issues and just getting things setup.

Sorted my boot out. Its an audison av12 sub sunk into the boot with a miniature gel cell so there is no battery on show anywhere. I'll be upgrading the amps and front components as soon as I'm able. Most likely well into the summer to be honest. Lots of other things to get sorted first.

Speakers can always wait when you've got a built in sountrack stuck on repeat

So, with all the prep coming for my Worthersee trip, I've been putting on the miles to make sure all is well. Over all, everything seems to be good!
Until this morning...  Had the car up in the air for various RS cleaning activities and come across this with my exhaust! No wonder it always sat pissed...



So... Down to the garage I go...  flip me this thing sounds awesome with no back box!! In fact, Epic I would say. Totally anti-social but oh well...ha!

Que the noisy video's!

So looks like when I get back from Worthersee, a new system will be on the list along with a VW Heritage stainless steel original style back box.

One last pic just for the love of this fish eye I'm playing around with ha

Awesome car, just looks so right

[madmanluke]

Thanks mate. She's going in for a detail over next week at Supercar detailing. Paint is still fresh as you like but its picked up a few swirls after my bootleg car washes at worthersee and naturally stone chips on the way over ( I wasnt prepared to put detailing tape all over it or make it wear a bra)

Couple more shots from just such an outstanding week.
