Postby **Brad** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 2:23 pm

I was sure there was a build on Tratty's J&S around here somewhere but can't for the life of me find it. If someone know where it is let me know and I will merge it.

Anyway a few pics I will get som ebetter ones later .. I will let Tratty fill in the rest.

Won't get lost in the carpark now

Where does the numberplate go?

Tratty · Postby **Tratty** » Thu Jun 23, 2011 12:25 pm

Excellent thanks Brad.

The number plate goes above the fan

VWNuts · Postby **VWNuts** » Thu Jun 23, 2011 1:08 pm

Didn't look like there was enough room above the fan for a full size plate

Tratty · Postby **Tratty** » Thu Jun 23, 2011 9:28 pm

I have slimline plates and they fit just nice.

That is the nicest J&S I've seen and I bet the only buggy with cruise control! Nice barwork too - well done.

Tratty · Postby **Tratty** » Fri Jun 24, 2011 5:46 pm

Thanks Neil, I have some big trips planned in the future and I think the cruise control is going to save me some big flat spots on my heel
