Mk1Lap 84

Mk1Lap 84 This is my 1984 VW GTI track car I built to enter the 1 Lap of America race in 2022. It took me 9 months from bare caged shell to running and driving track car.

I built this in my garage 99% alone on jackstands.

Something I’ve been planning for a while. Bolt in/removable rad support. Made the bar from frame horn to frame horn to mount the rad and oil cooler and tie it in (a little beefier than the stock sheet metal) Skinned the rad support so it’s basically just the sheet steel. All bolts in to the bar and fenders with a total of 8 nutserts. Can remove it with airdam still attached. Still need to do some more final welding to it but it’s close. Put the motor in today to start taking measurements.

Since I pulled the stock tank and added the fuel cell I had to re position my fuel filter, fuel pump and the stock filter/pressure regulator. Also started to run the feed line to the front.

Little parking brake video

Short video of my routing and wiring on this Wilwood rear electronic parking brake by Tech-53. Dry fit and wired to make sure I did it correctly.
