VWRX.....about time I did a post on the shop talk forums

Post by VWRX »

Hey there....

Been ages since I've been on the shoptalk forums, that long I had to register again.

Here are some pics of my perverted conversion involving a Subaru EJ20T, Porsche G50 transaxle and a host of other mods.

The car was purchased a few years ago as an unfinished and crudely constructed project which has been painstakingly been rebuilt with countless hours being poured into it.

Recently a great mate ventured here and in a week fully wired the car from scratch (including the aftermarket ecu). We did get the car running...just...and a stuffed starter motor and some other minor details kept us from obtaining our goal of taking it for a spin. All in the fulness of time I guess...... :lol:

I reckon you should paint the W of the W-decklid. Just leave the two hollows CF.

Looks really good Reub, you must be getting very excited.

You should do a post on GermanLook.com jForums as well, I think you'll stir up all kind of excitement.

I like how you did the front - especially all the extra space. Enlighten us on how you fab-ed that. Very nice!!
