Blizzard's rolling rebuild of a 1303 1975

[Blizzard]

The welding done sofar was done to get the 1303 streetlegal. The next job was to fix the rear bumpersupports.


I used a NOS rear valance and made it removeable.

Now it was time to make some cosmetic changes.

[Blizzard]

Before I got the new 6 cm. rear wings painted black I wanted to go to the next meeting so I replaced the 8J and 7J x 15 Fuchs wheels for 6J and 7 J x 15 so the rear wheels could fit under the original rear wings.


In good company on the dragstip in Brunstem Belgium 2008.







On Ebay I found some used Kerscher wings already in the right color so I bought those for 140 euro's.

Now I could fit the wider wheels right away. The wings needed to be replaced anyway.

With the (new) used flared wings it looked like this with the 15" fuchs wheels.



I did not like the look of the 15" fuchs under the flared fenders so I swaped an other set of 4 fully polished 8J x 15 fuchs wheels that I had for a set of 16" Fuchs that I polished and painted myself.


The edge of the wings needed some trimming to fit the wheels without rubbing.

The next thing I did was detail the interior. New carpet and a pair of OMP seats and a 5 point harness.



These seats are only for trackdays. For normal use I installed a pair of black cloth Recaro seats.


The standard steeringwheel was replaced with this Raid one mounted on a quick release steeringhub.



These photo's where taken behind Mel's Diner in Hannover april 30 2009.

Some more pictures of different interior changes.

This is how it looked when I bought the car.


Porsche steeringwheel and a 944 tach. under the dash.


Raid steeringwheel and oilpressure and temp. gauges. OMP pedals, new carpet and I found an original frame to mount the radio.


New panel under the dash for 4 gauges. I added a voltmeter and a tach.

All these changes still don't make it a Germanlooker. So after all the cosmetic changes I was ready to start on some handeling and braking upgrades. The last thing I needed was the right wheels with the right ET to fit the wide 944 turbo trailingarms in the back.

When I found a nice set of Cup 2's I could finaly start to work on the chassis.

I already have all the parts I need but some parts are not jet instaled.
The plans that have a - are the things I still have to do. Whith a + are already instaled.
