I see that you welded a box there, but did you hide the pinch rail INSIDE the box? I'm so confused... -D Please Login or Register to post a reply

pikespeakgtx Re: My new toy and the peeling and stitching of the golf September 30, 2008 08:16PM Registered: 11/11/2007 Posts: 714 Dave I think the pinch weld is inside the box which will make future anchoring the car on a frame machine interesting. Sure there are other ways to do it, but a pinch weld clamp is definately the quickest. Michael LeCompte Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/30/2008 08:19PM by pikespeakgtx.

I am basically planning to make a custom dash and wanted your opinion on some things... ------------------------------------ http://www.ckrally.com Please Login or Register to post a reply

Tom B Re: My new toy and the peeling and stitching of the golf October 06, 2008 12:19AM Registered: 02/27/2006 Posts: 780 Chris, I wouldn't do the fabbed dash...its just not worth the effort involved, especially when effort can be put into other more important places. It was good for the neat factor, but it was really just a pain in the ass, the factory dash does much better for defrosting and is pretty light to boot. BTW, I'll be ready for Doo Wops too. -Tom DemonRallyTeam | Fine Tuning | CTS Turbo & RP Turbos | RalleyTuned | JRM | Meister Autowerks Spitfire EFI | Product Apparel | JVAB Imports | NLS | AP Tuning | USRT Add us on Facebook | Next Event: 2013 Olympus Rally June 22-23 Olympia, WA Please Login or Register to post a reply

As you can see the original reinforcements where a total joke and the front cage mount is welded to thin skin laid over the tower. Ha ha well I solved all that fun stuff and will look beautiful with a hefty coat of white epoxy. TSSFAB.US No HYPE just parts!!!! And check us out on Facebook!!!

All the shell prep I wanted to get done, and some extras! Hopefully have it home here in a week or two more and start the paint work and re-assembly. ------------------------------------ http://www.ckrally.com Please Login or Register to post a reply
