my custom, oh so low mk2 turbo build

[archie.]

Your fabrication is God-tier, but that frame and tubework is seriously intimidating. Built like a tank. Are you planning on ram-raiding a bank or doing crowd-control in this thing?

Seriously though, looks amazing.

i know it looks like a tank using box section but it is only 1.5mm thick wall so the whole frame is not as heavy as it looks.

it looks awesome, that's what it looks like.


what you gonna do for paint?

or have i missed this

subbed btw

[chop top mk2]

slowly getting all the bits on the engine so i can get it running.first thing on the list is the inter cooler pipework.



all the pipe work is done in 3" alloy tubing.have also got the exhaust all done( also 3" but in stainless) and also started the remote oil cooler and filter system.

WOW, phenomenal fabrication. I'm guessing you do this for a living?!

[chop top mk2]

not in the car trade but i am a welder fabricator.
more done today. after a bit of reshaping got one of the door window frames back on.

and the body is now fully welded on.


thanks for your comments its much appreciated.

Apparently I wasn't the only one expecting a VW when coming into this thread only to rather surprised. Are you going to be running electric cut outs to dump aft of the front wheels or is there just going to be 2 exits per side?

[chop top mk2]

yeah there will be cutouts for the front exhaust.

[chop top mk2]

floors now going in, took a bit to come up with a design i liked.





more soon.

[chop top mk2]

more on the floors.



more soon
