DSG/Barney Project Turbo
Trans AM |
Here are the progress pictures of "Project Barney." It's
DSG's car which we are prepping for a turbo right now. The
first picture is the car the way it arrived at the shop. No
motor or transmission.
First we stripped all the crap out of the doors. No
more windows, or regulators, or motors, or speakers. No
wiring... no nothing. Empty door shell. You'd be surprised
how much weight can be removed from a door.
Next, we removed windshield wipers and motors, cowl,
and windshield. Big Glass=heavy. Lexan, here we come.
The dashboard was then removed and all the crap
behind it. Race cars don't need A/C right? There is a lot of
shit behind that dashboard!
The complete Engine/body wiring was removed along
with all the computers, modules, relays, and fuse panels.
None of it is going back. The vehicle wiring will be all
custom and much lighter. Here is a pic of ALL the vehicles
wiring. It's F'n heavy! Not one single wire was left in the
car.
Here's a picture of the nose. Doesn't it look sad? No
lights or anything. Who needs lights right?
Here's a view from the back. STRIPPED!! Nothing left
