Tim's Factory Five Mk4 Build Thread

[Jethrow]

I know it's been a while, but progress is being made I promise. I seem to be in that phase of a zillion little details that just eem to consume a heap of time, but I am getting there.

Anyway, I took these photos a couple months back and have been meaning to put them so here they are.



The most notable changes in these photos is the extra sheetmetal defining the cockpit and boot areas.



All these gauges are actually working too - took a bit with getting the gauges and the ECU talking to each other, but job done now.







Generally came up fairly well I think.





Actually the car is now largely mechanically and electrically complete. All the more recent effort is going onto things like adding sound and heat insulation, getting the body ready to fit etc etc. I think there will be a fair bit of visual progress coming up which is exciting.


Oh, and as an aside, there is a new acquisition in the garage

Ooooh... Nice build pics.
Thx for sharing.

I'm just quoting them so we can enjoy them twice over

Oh, and "on a side..." That bike looks heavier than my car, so please don't lay it "on a side"!
