I need the roll bar because sometimes I run out of talent...

LOL! Yeah I know what you mean, I have ran out talent a few times myself!

Fenders cleared Customs for a total of $31. in duty. Edi sent me an email on parts. Life is great. Pictures to follow.
|
Great!! Good to hear! $31 for customs fee is great! Here it would be 23,5% of the total...

Got a little time and test fit one rear fender. Things are going slowly because we are filming Longmire an A&E TV show and working 60-70 hours a week. Sleep a lot on weekends.
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/....jpeg~original http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/....jpeg~original There is no rear brake disc fitted so things will move out some and will use spacers as necessary. This is a late aluminum 968 trailing arm with a Porsche OEM GT3 11 rear wheel inside an 11cm widened inside and out Kerscher fender. |
Looks good, nice fit!
|
Nice, it hides those huge rear tires well
|
Spent some time fitting things before building the new seat brackets. Checking out the CAE shifter with the 993RS steering wheel and Rennline quick disconnect. Will build a mount and re cable the 944T rear to use the 996 GT3 handbrake. I am happy with the way things will fit.

Strangely I think that the flare on those fenders stands out much more in photos than it does in person. In person the flare seems mild
|
Orange against black does not help in photos...

To continue this theme of everything I seem to buy to add to the bug is a shade of red/orange, I now add the door handles. These were purchased years ago from Carlotta (spelled wrong I'm sure) the guy that built the rising 911 rear wing on the back of a Bug. He was selling his Bug and I tried to buy the rear deck but he said all or nothing. Then he offered up these bolt on replacement door handles for the Super Beetle. So I bought them, and now a dozen years later have dug them out for use. My question is should I drill them like a light weight Porsche or leave them smooth? Opinions?
Smooth vs Original Chrome http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/....jpeg~original Yet another red/orange part http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/....jpeg~original |
I would leave them smooth!
|
Smooth fer sher.
Jason |
Smooth. What are the handles off of?
|
Not sure but exact same mounting bolt and bottom end. 964 Porsche maybe? Will shoot a shot of the bottom next week when back.
