Post by: Matt on May 09, 2004, 10:49:40 AM: 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.

(https://airspeedparts.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww3.telus.net%2Fpublic%2Fmattjen%2F112-1291_IMG.JPG&hash=5feace5aded74552c0323f7a8ca6a2aaf3e9c5a6)

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!
Title: James Completion Date
Post by: James Buchan on May 09, 2004, 11:09:40 AM: :) Glad you had a good time Matt. Must have been a good party, I have a killer headache! How were your salty balls anyways????

It was cool to have Brian ghia and Colin's T3 parked on the lawn - better than any cement garden gnome!
Title: James Completion Date
Post by: Shane on May 09, 2004, 03:54:22 PM: Well guys and Gals.... Thanks to James and Cindy for a fun evening... One thing though If james works on his car aswell as he sings Kareoke..... :blink: It will never be done!!! And I want to thank Fez for bringing me to tears......I say good day!!! and Angie and her Banana... Hmmm then James handed out his salty balls...wow what a night......

Word of advice to all..... You can not install a VW engine upside down,,,,,,Impossible...

Title: James Completion Date
Post by: James Buchan on May 09, 2004, 04:20:47 PM: Yes I've now heard more of the goings on in my garage, if you guys went to the trouble of tryin to install my engine upside down, you could have at least put it in the right way for me!
Title: James Completion Date
Post by: Shane on May 09, 2004, 05:15:58 PM: :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:
Title: James Completion Date
Post by: Matt on May 09, 2004, 09:21:28 PM: It is amazing the stupidity three drunk guys have when they are hanging out in the garage......I mean, c'mon, engine upside down?!?!? WTF were we thinkin?
