Mythbuster: continuing project thread of my 1303 '75
I thought it was best to keep a sort of project thread/blog-like posting of the updates on my german-style 1303 from model year '75.
It all started in 1991, when I wanted an original '75 model 1303, registered for the first time in my country, the Netherlands. Not many have been delivered from that model year over here: only 32 ! Upon arrival: I'll save you all 'the bad' pics, but it was very, very rotten. Largeluy due to the original sun-roof: Drill-out all bad parts : and replace with new. Also added some sill and chassis strength: |

I would like to do a 75 1303 someday. I have always liked the idea of a sunroof, sedan with r/p steering. Looks like you have carved that one down to the bone.

It has been a 9 year restoration process before she was taxed and inspected again...
Of course I also made the 944-Cup suspension under there in that period and had to figure it out all by myself as when (1994) I did the entire suspension mod, nobody I knew of had done that (alu trailing arms and Cup-spindles) before. 'After' pics: Also moving house, which also meant moving the car from the farmers barn to the garage I first had to build myself behind the 'new' house back then (1998): Finally, first time out, painted and on its own wheels (early 2000): Gotta love the scanner |

Man! I didn't know you had 993's on your's before... that's what I'm running. Look's like it's going to be 9 years for mine to be on the road too (4 years and counting)

Wow, great progress pics. I don't think I could have finished restoring a pan and shell in such bad condition. I can barely finish the one I have in good condition

I had a browse of your photobucket folder the other week when I was getting withdrawal symptoms, was a serious resto you did there!

So, first were the 16" rims from a 993 '94 model, then came the 17" BBS rims: and of course the current 18" : |

Let's face it, that's far from the worst problem you could have!

True, but I really was hoping to have the engine INSIDE the bug a bit longer this time...
A friend suggested a dual organic disk and floater plate set-up. Hope KEP makes that for my weird combo. |
