Very nice, Jimmy. Now you need a louvered grill to cover up that gap where the original VW exhaust exited.

Some people are never happy LOL ...All kidding aside, Yes that would be nice. This will be on the to do list when the car gets in the hands of a body shop. I will have them fill in the cut outs for the dual exit exhaust and fill and smooth some stress cracks. For now I am going to drive the car while I can to get the engine tuned just right. My next thing to do is replace the stock pushrod tubes with special longer pushrod tubes I just bought from European Motors . A couple of the stock ones are leaking because of being too short, they are right at the edge. The engine is almost an inch wider than stock. I had to search a bit but found that longer tubes are made just for monster type 4 engines. The longer tubes have an extra O ring groove. I just hope I can get the tubes switched out without taking the header back off. If I do I will probably just pull the engine and switch to a V2 DTM now.
