412 GL Wagon Project
Kris brought me a new project for Christmas - a '73 412 wagon. It's a solid car, but doesn't run. It came from the original owner in Auburn, Ca with 131K miles on original everything.
Blog with pictures hosted at http://luxuswagen.blogspot.com/ Plan is to make it a daily driver: * Rebuild suspension while lowering in front * Rebuild brakes, fuel system, steering, a/c, heater, auto trans * Build up 2056 T4 with fuel injection * 15" Fuchs, dechromed body, color matched bumpers, etc. Looking forward to building and driving a GL Luxuswagen, BK Last edited by Bill K.; December 25th 2005 at 17:08. |

Kuhl 2 door Wally. I may be in Holland/Belgium again in Feb. I'll look you up again. I'd love to figure out how to put Porsche disks on a 412. Ideas?
Supa, know any locals with 944 or 911 brakes to loan me for test fits? Cheers, Bill |

All my stuff is down south. I do have a friend up here with the brakes from a '84 944, but he is USMC boot camp I'll have to go and knock on his parents door. Hey while i'm in town for the next week, if you want I could show you some twisty roads.

Front is more work (haven't done that either btw) or you locate a set of specially made 5x130 early model 914 disks from some/one at 914club.com, which sold these a while back. Not cheap tho, but a bolt-on solution... Its not all that easy like on a type 3 tho Regards, Walter |

Glad you found a good foundation to start with. Should be a cool project.
The blue 412 is cool :agree:
