Welcome, the car looks great! It'll be interesting to see the bumper solution! As others have said, the rear ride height does look a little low. They handle best with the rear 20-30mm higher than the front (plenty of threads on here to help with that) and it will help reduce understeer. I also run 15mm hubcentric bolt on spacers but that is so I can run 13x8 ET23 rear wheels with 215/55 or 235/45 tyres. Without the spacers, a 15x8 ET24 still fills the rear arches well with 205/50's.

A few different shots cos it does seem the picture angle makes a difference, but here is how mine look. Not an FW I know but visually the arch filling should be about the same on both I'd guess? Of course it's also personal taste to some extent but I love the way mine look. All credit goes to previous owners!

This is where I have mine set, all to accommodate these wonderful Scottish roads!

Same brand I have on my Jaguar XK, top quality spacers Direnza.

I agree, looks great, best colour (I am biased), but it looks like your rear ride height is low and your wheels need to fill the arches more, so maybe spacers or wider rims? Mainly cosmetic, but it would look, and probably ride and handle better too.

Hi, looking sweet. Not sure if it's a he angle but your rear ride height looks very low or you have great roads in your state. Some wheel spacers would bring the rim out closer to the arch to. I have 20mm spacers all round on my FW.

That's more than you'll ever use, how much per litre for WSCC members and where do we fill up @Andrzej? 😁

Looks great, well done. Hopefully a rolling road session will iron out the lumpiness.

Car looks loverly Russell, good luck with the bumpers but please send photos with the final solution. Q? Can you remove after inspection? Also are you ex-Pat? As never heard a yank sign off with Ta 🤗 Phil R

I remember you talking about those bumpers; you were going to make them out of pvc pipe if I remember correctly. Have you made them yet? David

Hello all, just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Russell Brynolf, retired engineer, and I've always wanted to build a kit car for myself. Last August I finally received my kit from Westfield, yes, here in the USA, delivered in a large crate containing many, many boxes! Not the best of assembly instructions, and several parts missing, but, overcome those issues and I'm proud to say I finished the build yesterday!! Pictures attached. Next is to get it inspected and registered. To achieve this in Michigan the car is required to have bumpers front and rear at 14-22" from the ground. They will look a little stupid but that the only way to complete the inspection. Engine still runs a little lumpy, but otherwise drives great. let me know any comments or suggestions. Ta.

Maybe some of you have heard the latest news – Le Mans 2025 was won by Polish driver Robert Kubica! His main sponsor is ORLEN. While I was testing my recently finished (and finally working!) MNR, it seems some folks from ORLEN were watching my driving — and they sent me a whole cistern of their fuel. Nice!

Beautiful example of an original Long Wheel Base 1974 VW GP Beach Buggy (as detailed on the V5) - MOT and Road Tax exempt. Rebuilt and restored from the ground up. Original 1600 engine 1974 chassis. Original speedometer. EMPI gear knob and wheel. New seats. Drives lovely, lots of power! Body sprayed in white metallic with blue metallic stripe. 5. 1 JL Audio Sound system is an absolute highlight with a custom built rear mould housing a sub and two rear speakers, plus 2 front speaker and Bluetooth interface. Sounds incredible. Condition is superb, a few minor imperfections on the body work. Driven in the summer and gets lots of attention! Well maintained by experienced retired mechanic who specialises in classic cars. Comes with lots of history (pictures on a USB stick of the rebuild). Also comes with a towing A frame that attaches to the front of the chassis. Absolute delight and will be missed however it's time to move onto something new and let someone else enjoy driving down the road listening to The Beach Boys! Any questions please ask away. Pictures don't do it justice in my view, it's fantastic. Happy to take out on a drive to experience the thrill. The specification is outstanding and the attention to detail in the restoration is lovely. Every nut and bolt stainless steel. The engine all chrome and looks elegant. It's also super comfortable and carpeted. There's also room in that back for luggage. I drove this back from Bournemouth to Kent when I purchased it. Since then it's been on day trips to the beach, and even gets the odd trip out to the shops! Only on sunny days of course! Ask for more details and pictures. Price £8995
