Golf 4 Dragster

nice bumper but make it a little bit wider on the bottom and make some ?half-circle? holes for exhaust tip/s maybe some vents?? What do u think?

That hood scoop is very excessive, it's way to big for the 4 cyl. motor that's in that car, to big even for a 6 cyl. I sure hope you plan to drop a V8 in there.

Yea, yea, yea, I know that it's too big, but like I say : It's too big work to make all new and I don't want mess with that, but finish will be better.
No vents in back bumper. For drag I think it's so better ( stream lined :p ) Exhaust will be in side.

any more mods since those?? :)

No, nothing big, I had only fixed some little mistakes, I have bored of this project. :(

i was liking a lot of that project...it's a shame you don't want to go with it... :crying:

No, I have rest some days and then it's go's on. :smile:

It's really hard to build something from scratch in Estonia, because you can't buy styrene or modelling tools from the shops....so...it's good work...

FOX00 - also from Estonia

Ok this project is again in work. And now I need your help : What I should do in back side, like some wing ? And one good thing : I make scoop little bit smaller. :p

Now some pics of progress.

I make that huge hood scoop little bit smaller. First I saw scoop off :

Then I use file and make scoop 3 mm lower but I make it more lower :

And then I use filler to make hood little bit better :

Dont forget, you need to put a windsheild in there too.

wot colour you paintin it ?

Good question, I don't have any good ideas, first I think black then pearl blue but now I don't like both. :biggrin:

yes visible that looks amazing!

go for pearl blue! and i'm actully stating to like the hood scoop! keep up the good work!

what do you mean !! lol the hud scoop is the best bit i think !!

before i thought the hood scoop was way too big but now it's starting to take nice shape is what i meant.

oooo right fair point,btw visible33 what did you make the dashboard out of ? it looks really good !!!

Ok, now I have some questions about fiberglass. I had used that on real cars and there was it ok, but now, I wonderd that I cover scoop with fiberglass, then it's more stronger and little bit unvaried. But maybe fiberglass is too fat for make this thing ?

Dashboard is made of wood. And filler. :biggrin:

thanx! i think im goin to make one, you could use fiberglass on ur hud but jus use very small amounts at a time, its harder to use as you proby know but it doesnt dry as quick as filler so u can play bout with it until you think its right, for sanding it down use quite a course file u shud be fine, good luck ! :smile:

Ok I'll try it. :smile:

cool tell me how you get on with it !!

cool tell me how you get on with it !!

First I have to buy fiberglass, I didn't find nothing in garage.

when do you think you will have some by ?

its getting very nice,seems like a real drag,what material is that you used to make the bodyparts,and the body cleaning

Bodyparts are made of filler and for cleaning body I use 600 sandpaper.

you managed to get hold of that fiberglass yet ?

I don't have fiberglass, and I think it will not come, so I have to use filler to make scoop nice. :mad:
