anyways, sorry for all the confusion in regards to the build of the rear floor... but in all this confusion i have an update...

my 4X8 gas tank showed up today....

anyways, doug began with the "petrol suitcase" this week..... random shots of it....

As of last week they got the custom fuel pump pickup\hat\sender setup almost complete with the OEM r32 sender integrated...







and a close up of the hat assembly using -8 fuel feed and -6 fuel return fittings.

so after seeing so many recaro swapped seats, figured i'd go a different route and have a custom old school wagen rear seat installed. just need to figure out how to make it rust....



and two shots of the fuel cell setup. as you can tell i had the filler cap relocated and will be hidden by a 6 letter word...

apologies again for the late updates... just super slammed with all the fun and crazy changes ahead of me.

so about a week and half ago, eurowise got a bunch of random stuff done and should have more done soon....

not too much explaining required here so will basicly let the pics do the talking...

close ups of the tank:







gas tank sits flush with the rear floor...



random shots of doug getting the rear floor ready...





eurowise doing some detailed work to make the dash fit proper....

they also sectioned the switch and plastic welded it back together to look like an oem switch assembly with bezel..... the devil truly is in the detail and the guys at eurowise amaze me!!!

a few random pics of the dash process...









and finally, the rear seat. it is engineered in a way that if it needs to be removed it can be.

anyways, i've been contacting random people for random parts and been talking with mike about random ideas and been busy spending not so random money on said randomness...

either way, the wiseguys are back on track in regards to my little project....

Never liked the old tow hook (not sure why), so asked to have it removed and new one relocated.

Pic of old tow hook removed and spot welded up



New location and pic of tow hook in place





They drilled the hole where it passes all the way through into the front core support brace and that will be the strength point for towing







They frenched the hole to give it a cleaner look. Ideas like this that they came up with is what really sets them apart, in my book anyways...





They finally got the tiny little fella delivered and have begun to massage it in....







They have designed the top of the core support to have a hidden removalable section to access the front of the motor and for ease of service





the lower section of core support was cut out to fit the radiator core



the lower core support sheet metal was bent in order to hold the radiator and also act as a mount
