Just got it home last month and I'm just getting the garage ready for a winter build
-
count me in thats to cool. I was looking for a speedster before I built the buggy, keep us posted on the progress.
-
Been searching Craigslist for years for the right one. Jackass Cdn import laws for not letting Kitcars into the country so I knew I had to find one that was not finished so I could bring it in as parts, it took 2 trips across the line to bring it all back. Last week I brought home the 1970 pan that was shortened so now the planning begins.......I need to build a wide rear end and read about Porsche 944 parts for this and I think polished 16 in.FUCHS would look great also.
-
nice !!
i think egspot has some 16'' fuchs for sale .
-
Go with the new 17" polished fuchs! They would look BadAss on that car!

pmd you.

I can't decide on the color of the interior I have the original 20 year old unsewn vinyl ad carpet all in BLACK but the upholstery dude says it's crap and wants to start from scratch so I thought I might do a different color like a dark tabacco shade like this but with black of tan carpet
(https://airspeedparts.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi43.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fe367%2FRamunn%2Funtitledvbhnjk.jpg&hash=0c766f1e52f293d4581b29a270a9867db0a770ef)
or a chocolate brown with black or tan carpet

or just black with piping in a contrasting color in antique white like this

I should mention the black gelcoat is not a final color but it's on the short list along with a blue like this

Sounds like a plan I'll be working on the front bumper and hood all day tomorrow. My bar is only stocked with 1800 Tequila, Jack Daniels and cold Corona if any of that works for you come by any time after lunch.
As far as interior exterior colors goes it's leaning towards a Chocolate/Metalic Black combo with Black softtop :cool:

Got the front bumper on today and dropped off all the interior to the upholstery shop too. Finally made a decision on color, mostly black with some Dark antique Burgandy.

I saw it at the car show last weekend, looks even better in person.
The car show was sort of a disappointment, only 3 acvw's (a ghia, bus and a manx) and the 356 and No bugs. I guess I need to start doing more work on mine so I can take it next year, but that takes time, money and space all of which I don't have much extra of right now
