Normally only 911s are allowed into the workshop.  I have made a couple of exceptions lately, one being the short wheelbase Group B Audi replica and the other is the classic rally Golf Mk1 that is destined to run in the Australian Classic Rally Championship.  This has been a massive ground up build which I will elaborate on in a later post and actually take some decent photos…

The exciting news is that the Golf is finally alive!  I am yet to tune the massive 50mm carbies (- yes old fashioned carburettors!) but the induction noise of this engine is amazing.  It should be too considering how ridiculously high compression is, and of course it is designed to run on the ETS Extra Max race fuel.

I am sure the sound of this car will be confused for a big bore sports bike in the distance because the ratios in the dog box are so close…

With just a few final touches to be made, the test day is not too far away!
