'56 rag with a twist
After lurking here for a while, time to post some pica's of my project.
I am not sure what it is exactly, is it german, resto, callook or race? you tell me It all started in December 2007, after I sold my T2a single cab with 190Bhp G60 engine I bought this Oval. The plan was to use it as a daily and give it some TLC in de weekends. This is how I bought it, original. Planted a new gearbox and 2ltr type4 engine. Narrowed, adjustable beem with dropped spindels. And this is how I drove it (first time out was EBI II) To make a long story short, it's a total resto now. The plan is to have the resto-cal ish look on the outside, with an inside, chassis and suspension that is ready for some strip and circuit aktion. Let's start with the wheels; I have two sets, fuch's and MAG industries, both with Porsche bolt patern. One set for street use and one set for circuit/strip abuse. Paul

Now I am working on the body.
Most of the rust on the right side is gone. The complete doorpillar is gone. And replaced. And today I was working on the 1/4 panel.

I am lookng forward to you finishing up the front suspension. I have been wondering why no one has done this before or why there is not an existing kit to pull this off out there. I would love to put something like this on my Super

Worked a few hours on the Tilton box today, unfortunately all the hours and effort can't be seeing.
First I made the pedals 100% fit in the box, then I took away all the sharp edges, changed the windings to metric windings, welded the box allround and grind-ed the welds. When to box was to my standards I welded it to the body, just a few cm to go. Paul.

This week my new brake fluid reservoirs arrived from the UK, black anodised billet aluminium. 8) Now I have to think about how and where to mount them.
It looks damaged, but it's just dust. Started to prep. the new left wing. Paul.

daaamn! nice project! I always said the Netherland and especially Keversite.nl has the most GL projects going on. Too bad of the language barrier, so thanks for posting here, in english! I often read through the Keversite forums with the help of google translate :P

Oh man, you are up to your eyeballs with that project!!! Great work, can't wait to follow the progress.
You and Ricola need to get together and have a beer discussing how many Km of welding wire you used on your projects!!! Jason
