If people got to me I would have bought a gun along time ago :)

I know what you mean about weddings putting things on hold, mine was 5 years ago and I still can't do what I want!

A few of us from these forums spent some time at James place last night for a little party. Of course the garage was open so james could show off his progress, I thought he needed to show it off to a few more people....

this pic you can see the custom lightweight race seat, this is lighter than any fiberglass one! and of course the safety front curtain airbag, or \"oh shit\" bag.



Next we show how you can take a passenger for a ride in style on yet another lightweight custom part, the passenger seat.



Finally, this pic  is of the custom lightweight door with speed holes. The HUGE custom intake plenum, and of course the 1st place trophy he isn't going to win. Seriously the intake is killer, I think James will be making some more and Airspeed will have the exclusive rights to them. Buy them while they are hot.




Good work James, keep up the progress!!!!!! and thanks for the party, for those who didn't make it, you missed out on a party with Fez from that 70's show.........I said good day!

It was cool to have Brian ghia and Colin's T3 parked on the lawn - better than any cement garden gnome!

:wacko: We tried... However your garage is not tidy and finding engine bolts took alot of time.... also we just could not get it on the spline shaft... could have had something to do with the 6 or so beer we each had :wacko:
