New base plate was a shocking fit, even for a repro panel... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190421/30140562748fbb4ee100823d6b1cd4d4.jpg Anyway, after plenty of heat and dressing I finally made it resemble something half sensible and got it fitted... ignore my copious amounts of seam sealer (even...

Yup. Been there. It’s a grim job! It certainly is! Once it was off it and I had descaled what I could, I hit the inside of the frame head with a bit of treatment. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190421/9f18971874049b42175103a993930041.jpg But there was a bit of perforation on the lower front of ...

Once the pan halves were out, it became obvious the rot was well and truly into the napoleons hat https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190421/42377767f1c5a820799b06d6aae3ae76.jpg And the frame head base plate wasn’t looking too special either, so time to replace the base plate and naps hat - but with ...

Now trying from Tapatalk! Just starting the strip down, https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190421/55ce24f270f07fb25a7d604217795055.jpg Looks reasonably solid in the photos here, but as we all know, looks can be deceiving! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190421/5a6fffb6315681d1b2b0686933176bee.jpg...

Ah! Cheers Gary, I will check that out

Oh, my file sizes are too big :oops: this has got off to a cracking start :lol: I’m away on holiday at the moment and thought I would just start this little thread while chilling out... I think I’m going to give up now until I’m back home on the laptop :lol: Sorry for the false start, will update pr...

Well that didn’t go to plan there was meant to be a bunch of photos and comments on that original post

I wonder if it’s because I’m trying to post from my phone?!

So, I thought I would start my own build thread... And I am really at the very start! So many decisions still to be made and so many options it kind of makes my head spin at times, but it’s nice to see so many of you have already been there :) So no doubt I will be tapping into your experiences, to ...

Indeed they are, but in the advert it states the pans can be shortened for Porsche replica builds - that is what I found confusing.

Surely they would need to be lengthened for Porsche replica builds...

Spotted these pans which have been fabricated for a shortened chassis. They seem like a good idea/quality item but I am a little confused over length. It’s my understanding that a Speedster Clinic build (and most others) based on the traditional VW chassis, requires 300mm chopping out. The descripti...

Great thread and lots of detail I’ve literally just read the whole thing but gutted to find that it didnt keep going beyond where it stops! It’s like reading a good book and finding the final chapter is missing Hopefully you might reappear at some point with an update
