Mythbuster: continuing project thread of my 1303 '75

[Wally]

Yeah, of course Dave, we'll do it the same as last time
It turned out so awesome, I'am sure we all want to see more of her!

Next time we meet up, I'll show you personally how it works with photobucket and their links for being able to show pictures
You're coming to Action this year?

You still have my email?

[dave forder]

Wally, Yeah the NEC Classic Car Show was great. I was on the Meguires' Showcase Stand and the car went down very well. I do plan to do Action (it would be nice to have some side by side drag action with you) and also plan to come over to Spa this year. I have tried to email these pictures to you but they keep bouncing back as undeliverable. I shall try and sort this over the next few days.

[Wally]

Yeah, I noticed you tried 17Mb sending to me, which is over my email box limit. Could you try 10Mb at the time? That gives me time to reroute the pictures.
Thanks!

After long time saving and a very long waiting time, my new Koni coil-overs arrived: up-side down aluminium bodied beauties with top and bottom ball-joint (sp?) attachment points. Hopefully they function as well as they look the part...

[owdlvr]

Nice! You're going to be quite happy with those I think. If I ever build a "proper" Germanlook, ie one used on tarmac exclusively, it will with be Koni's at all four corners.

We use a loop of Bicycle tube to keep dirt out of the adjustment slot. Easy enough to move it to the side for adjustments, but keeps the dirt out.

[Wally]

Tnx for that excellent tip Dave!

[Rule09]

Nice!

[70Turbobug]

Looking good Wally! Were those custom made for you?

[NO_H2O]

Shock porn.

[Wally]

Yeah, almost shocking!

Mark: not custom for me, its just a (top of the line) 944 aftermarket part. Not really a shelf part tho, as I had to wait a few months for them to be made.

Yes, they are

[graham]

Thanks Wally

[Wally]

With the new shocks, I also decided to change the arms from turbo to regular n/a 944 ones for a little less track width.
Here you can see where the difference in width (1 inch or 25mm) comes from. The arms themselves are the same casting ;-)

Mounted my old front disk set-up to the rear where it originally came from. Also test mounted the rear coil-overs:
