Mark tigerace wrote:Brilliant work  love the details  regards Phil Thanks to much mates! I Really love vw 80'and 90' Before continuing with engine, i made with insulating tape the inside mudguard. If was a oem ride eight i could use a 0.25 mm styrene sheet. But if I used it, my chassis would be raised....and this is not good. I fitted the selfmade hoses for heater core. Remembering the Delta HF WRC water canister, I decided to reproduce it also in my GTI. I started my work using a AA dummy batteries. After some work, I obtained the wanted shape. I holed the tank for future connection and future bracket on engine struct. Finally i coated it with bare metal foil and i added hoses using a tube with same color of G12 liquid. I repainted the fan with gray haze, and i add some detail to radiator fairing (some alu tape on top face of radiator, some alu tape on fan motor and connection for hose to canister and temp sensor) I also fitted the selfmade clutch cable. To maintain a little bit clean engine bay, I decided to build a partially hidden engine wiring (all the invisible wiring run inside the chassis)                                      Collection active: Lotus 97T, Audi Quattro A2, Vw Maggiolino '60

Just only the final hose from canister to radiator. I also create another partially hidden engine wiring (it runs nearly the struct and hides inside the left chassis spar) I cabled the rear light switch, the speedo cable and the oli temp sendor for gearbox and differential (this last is my add and not present on real GTI) Then i worked for fitting the hose from canister to radiator: With insulating tape i selfmade grommet to fix hose on side left structs. This hose will be partially hidden from extra oil cooler and battery (battery will be lifted to permit the run of other wiring) Finally i made new bracket for extra oil cooler (i used the present hole inside the engine bay)       Collection active: Lotus 97T, Audi Quattro A2, Vw Maggiolino '60

More excellent work from you Francesco and looking very realistic now! I think I would vote for the 'Rota 1' style of wheels as the metallic red spokes compliment the car body colour nicely and they also show good brake detail too?
Nice work, well done.
