Default Shaved frunk and engine bay

While drooling over the latest Singer creation I noticed the car continues to evolve.
Since the car now uses our 964 platform, I'm very interested these modifications since I might be able to use an idea or two for my own car.

Look how clean the frunk and engine bay is...

Frunk: brake master cylinder has been moved as well as various wires. The rest hidden behind the upholstered wall. Nice center mount tank filler also.


Engine: Where's the oil cap? Also like how clean the AC lines are routed and everything hidden behind the sound pad.
Heat must come from a gas heater in the funk??



The "shaved" look seems pretty strong in the VW community. Pretty impressive stuff.
I'd love to see and hear about your ideas for the 964?!

I think Singer does the Oil filler like a 72.

Yes, this has been going on for years in the VW community. It takes an incredible amount of work, but the results can be stellar, as the Singer shows. Wow. Now I want to do this on mine. Curse you for posting those pics!

Not hard to do with an unlimited budget.

The lack of a distributor looks great.
