Mk3 Golf 16v/VR6 crossmember had to be cut to size to fit the smaller Lupo chassis.It was then cleaned up and 2 L shaped brackets attached so it could be welded to the front of the car.At the same time driver's side chassis rail was cut and boxed to clear all pulleys and passenger side chassis rail had a arch cut into it then boxed for future 6 speed box upgrade.Once i was happy that dummy engine and gearbox was sitting in the correct manner all panels were prepped, etched primed and resprayed Reflex Silver Metallic. Lupo Gti subframe with cups in each corner attached, then subframe was seam welded and powder coated.
Lupo Gti subframe cleaned up and ready for custom mods. First of was getting the subframe modded and a front cross member attached to the car to make it look like a MK3 Golf 16v/VR6 layout. Bills, cost of living, and getting shafted with prices for car parts in the UK has made this project so slow but finally there is a light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully before the end of the year this Lupo will be driving. This project started in late 2008 early 2009 and its still going.
