That is one sensational build! Well done!
Thank you guys
Very happy that i went 4mm more agressif to get that 3" rear lip for the wheels. The wiring is started and i must say Edward is a huge help !!
The suspension will need some ajustements. The body is on since i left for vacation and my guys can ajust the side pipe, windshield and alot more
Do you have a build thread for the mini? I've been looking at doing a BEC myself and would love to see your buildup.
I can do anything with enough time and money.
I do but but its in french and most of the pictures are gone. check you'r PM
So finaly got the top after 6 months, wasn't expecting having it this ruff. There's going to be alot of work needed, manly Trimming it to lower it and have it fit perfectly. The top is from Bruce i payed 500$ for the hardware, didn't get the rear window and i was surprised to only get a few metal brackets for my 500$.
Once its done and lowered it should look something like this.

Boy, he sure left you a lot of work to do on that top! Based on the rest of your build, I know you will get it right.
I enjoy your updates, and your car looks great!
I look forward to seeing the rest of your build.

Steve
Paquette-
What is your source for the thermal insulation in the foot boxes?

hell yeah its crazy !! my body guys are telling me, more hours on the top then the mk4 itself ! I'm finaly back at it
I got it from a local shop witch is specialized for body shops. I can try to find out whats the name of it.
Thank you, slowing getting there.
Last day at the body shop.
First day home, had to slam it
Installed a front and rear sway bar
Worked on the Oil filtrer relocator and oil cooler
Looking nice. You are doing very nice work!
Thanks for posting the update and the great pictures.
Regards,
Steve
Bought a new house that needed some renovation to put it at my taste. Also built a nice seperated garage for the Toys. Since thats done, i can finaly get back on the cobra.
Still working on that top !
Had to add 1/2" to match the door lines.
The top is nice and solid molded to the body, very easy to pop off.
Molded the bracket for the rear hatch
They also worked on the windshield ton make it perfect
Can't wait to bring it home, get it striper down and start it
oh man this is exciting! cant wait to see if done!

Dreaming of the MK4
Purchasing the kit within the next 3 years.
Absolutely love that steering wheel and I’m assuming your working on a “murdered out” (learned that from my adult kids) - look. Very nice craftsmanship and your ripping along...
The silver-gray is stunning in contrast to your carbon black wheels. Really look forward to seeing this finished.

Any pics of the AC system installed? Looking at that myself but can't find many builds doing Coyote and A/C, much less any pics or information on what was required.
Looks sharp! Can’t wait to see a finished pic.
