Well this is my ride in progress, please forgive me if I sound vague, sometimes I forget to put all the info in, if you have any Q's just e-mail me. Body is an 1302S '72, brakes are 944 front and rears, rear, rear suspension is stadard in form but has thicker rear torsion bars (1mm) and adjustable dampners. front suspension is a bit more difficult to explan, I have biffed the standard arms that use the sway bar as a stressed suspension arm and made a new 'A' system withg rod ends, so there is now new barckets at the front and rear of the "hammer head " section and an inderpendent swaybar will mount off these suspension arms, the shocks are heaverly machined Golf Mk1 units, top monts are solid ball BMW adjustable for caster, (camber is done on the strut and on the arms). The motor is to be a ( It's at the engine reco's now) Type 4 2366cc, running Microtech computer controled Toyota fuel injection (4 throttle plate type). The look is going to be Resto Cal as thats what spins my dails but I prefere the German look mechanicals, I am doing most of the work myself hence way im into year 3 but there is not one week that goes by with out something being done. Thanx for having a look Mark

I have used Porsche 944 hubs, but there would be no reason why you could not stay with the standard hubs. I have used a "rose joint" for the bottom ball joint and made a pin that goe's though the rose joint and is clamped buy the hub, it would be just as easy to do it to suit the standard hub assembly. Don't for get you have to add a sway bar too! I have not yet tackled that yet, but I have a fewe idea's.

Here are my heads just back from the engine builder, ready for me to port them out. I have had the "spuds" put in to reduce flex, and have had other areas that give trouble welded up.

Well the weather was fine and the painter has painted the shell, and it looks amazing (Well I think it does) no runs and no orange peel, I am so happy!!! I get to pick it up next week after it has been buffed. yeah harrr, I finally fell as though I am on the down hill part of this resto!

I have had a few look changes go though my head to, I have decided to go the "stock" look, but with the early fat chrome strips, and paint the fuchs satin black all over??? doe's anybody else have any other idea's?

And Jeza thanx for the great weekend, please vist again!

I hope your still going to use those early US spec bumpers with the over riders, maybe flag the towel rails though. And some headlamp eyelids (?) you know the things I mean chrome half rounds that mount to the light rings.

Im going to do the early bumpers and the towle rails to, but no sorry I do not like the eyelids for the super style headlamps , I think they look great on the early models but crap on the supers.

Good luck this weekend!!!

Chrome smootie rims and wide white walls, with white interior as well. And heaps of chrome bits. 😎

I wouldn't get rid of them either, I reckon chrome wheels would look good, and it would be hard finding someone to chrome the fuchs. Maybe just polish the crap out of them!
