What VWX is building.
An honest map of the workshop
Walking into a good garage, you can tell at a glance what is finished and what is still on the lift. This is that view of VWX. Reference, tools, build records and one directory entry work today. The rest are ideas with the bonnet up: you can see them, you cannot drive them, and we would like to know what you think.
