I'd love to know who is reading this thread. It gets about 500 views a week. If I add something new it's over a 1000, but it's rare anyone posts.

Well, I’m reading this, as I expect you’d have figured. I like the look on the steelies, and those tires. How are they settling in?

I'm following it too, Chris. The amount and quality of the detail work you exert is what keeps me interested. That, and I have an idle 2.2 Polo waiting for an application.

I'm a frequent visitor as well. Mostly as an exercise in controlling my envy.

Thanks guys. Someone please build the first 914 POLO or I'm gonna have to. It would be an awesome application. Doug's 912 POLO should come out of Jon the Metal Surgeon's shop soon. That's an aluminum hood, splitter, and steel bumper. Jon did a bumper after this one vented on both sides. The car will be Ultra Blau. I've never seen one in the flesh. Only a couple of pictures. Anyone seen one or have pictures. I think it's a 68-69 color but I could be wrong.
I follow all 3 of your posts whenever I find them. Thanks for leaving me a message.

I did a much simpler piece to push air to the top of the oil cooler on my car and it helped some. If you look at the path through the bumper area for fog lights, though the grill, and now through the bumper, it seems under speed the air flow misses the top 3rd of the oil cooler. This is designed to force air strait through the passenger side battery box, up top, and around to the outside. This will flow air to the whole oil cooler. How much it will help is a mystery at this point. We'll see when the car is on the road.

I don't think we'll need the fan as this car will have duel Carrera coolers. Just in case, we created a place to mount an inline fan with a deflector to spread the air flow. The car will get a 3rd thermostat between the front oil coolers to try and keep the oil temp at about 200F on cooler days.

Buy the way, this is what the whole car looked like after the paint was removed. All work is about personalizing the car. Not rust repair. I found it in Rolling Hills, Ca. about 5 miles from were I lived in Malaga Cove, PV as a kid in Jr and High School. It's a 50K car in miles and 50K to buy it 2 years ago. Ultra Blau. Here are a couple pictures of a car living down under. I've never seen one in the flesh as the original owner painted it this color.
