That is a crack up.  My front subframe from Epytec arrived last Thursday!

Funny. I have a few other orders planned soon.

That's a nice parts fairy you've got...

When they're both finished will be nice to compare braking between yours and mine - I thought long and hard and went with a 25.4mm master cylinder with a very big brake booster.....

Beautiful.

Was reading a write up of how long it took to make a GTi in 1981 - basically a day. Raw sheet in at 4am and the car rolls out at 23:50.....

That looks like a perfect 16:45 - body painted ready for assembly....

Only 7 hrs to go ........

Ok - weeks maybe

Yep. The wife's is a different paint code though, and being a Quartet it has colour coded mirrors, bumpers and flares.  So I think they'll still make a great matching pair.

Yes it does!

Being a 'white rabbit' I might even have a couple more tricks up my sleeve...  ;)

Some exciting things packed up and ready to make their way to me from Canada.
