sorry okes but i just had to post this.. 1956 VW Karmann Ghia.. it was my second project car, came out exactly as planned and i was in love 😛 , didnt make huge power, but it had enough torque to lift the front a little on launch, ate a few S2000's in its time.
Orange used to be my favourite colour.. now its second only to Matt Black 🙂 Good times...
FrankenZteins back!
Exhaust is done, i like it, neat and looks fairly mean coming out the side, jap purists probably wont like this ... but i dont care 🙂
Cage still needs to be finished off, but we'll sort that after its running properly. It got towed back up to Gary's for W/M install and Final tune, .. if i dont need a new Head Gasket that is, fingers crossed.
Dude! awesome!!!!
Looks great. I hope it will be ready for Hesketh 8)
i was out driving the car while Gary was tuning it from the passenger seat, .. i may have been driving a little too aggressively for the loose battery... it touched the roll cage and caused the main earth wire to catch fire, luckily (kinda) i put the fire out with my hand... "kill switch" WILL be installed before we drive again! and we need a new battery 🙁 But Otherwise the car is going well, it was basically the second time ive driven the thing, suspension is really really good and boost is nice and smooth...nearly there.. fingers crossed - it should be ready for Hesketh next weekend, and hopefully my hand too.

Real Hero's uses their hands. Just joking. So far nice track toy.
ha ha, guys.. Ja i shouldve used the extinguisher first i know, but when it happened i just reacted, ...we live and learn, i bought an extra extinguisher and a kill switch today 🙂
sorry about that dude,,,dam

Whoa, thats bad. I had burns like that once, but then I stopped what i was doing cos I heard doing it too much causes blindess 😂
Wasn't that Karmann Ghia featured in SNS back in the day? It looks familiar, great colour.

..yhe, thanks 🙂
By the power of Greyskull, Gary & my Girlfriend i somehow organized a whole day of Hesketh all to myself 🙂 and thanks to Rob & Mike.
Mike is the Owner of R.Hesketh, he was telling me some interesting things... plans for Hesketh are on! its gonna be very cool, Spectator stands, pits getting moved to the Long straight, new armcos going up, re-tarring - not sure how much re-tarring, but atleast things are happening, i cant wait!!
Apparently some of the residents were moaning about the noise etc of the Cars on the track.. but when they saw the alternative... low cost housing in place of the track... they changed their tune 🙂 So it looks like KZN's motorsport future is 'ontrack'.. finally 🙂
