This car is for sale. I'm getting another project. =)
2010-08-07:
Done!
2010-04-11:
Finally some updates!
2009-11-09:
Never getting tired of looking at these wheels. Polishing my fresh coat of paint
makes it shine!!
2009-10-30:
New idea for a crazy-looking 1600cc unit, using the original single-port heads,
a Solex 40DHH carb, and some vintage bolt-on's.
2009-09-25:
BIG (2275cc) plans! Just got the bulky stuff from the US, wow! Bolted some stuff
together just to see what it will look like.
2009-09-01:
Paintjob is almost complete.
2009-07-31:
New wheels fitted, again! Since I got a CX for the other wheels below, and
Midland Wheels had a sale on fully chromed 4x130 gasburners, I thought I'd take
a chance with those. And WOW!
2009-04-04:
New wheels fitted.
2009-03-30:
Finally some action in the garage.
Getting the '66 on wheels!! Won't be running the standard steel ones later, just
for garage-use..
2009-02-07:
Almost done with the welding on this car.
Using all original 1966 metal for patching the bad areas on this project.
2008-12-28:
In the 70's or so they thought it was a
good idea to patch the repair-panels over the original fenderwell... time to
tidy up this area.
2008-09-21:
Finally some fresh photos. Not alot has
happened I have been busy with the 55 and my old boat. But here are a couple
pics. Tried on the new wheels, it's impossible to drive it this low though as
you have just about no turning-radius with the 205 tyres up front. Got a
rustfree door.
2008-07-26:
Engine/gearbox is out and work proceeds
with welding all the rust. A guy building a volksroadster pick-up was helpful
and gave me a rustfree rear half of another 66 so all the metal have been
sourced! Thanks!

More work with disassembly and cleaning. I have to say it's nice to work on a car practically not touched since
factory. Rust you can weld but if someone "screwed it up" it's hard to
get it original again. But this is a nice one!!
2008-06-24:
Got it into the garage this weekend and started
to take it apart. It definitely needs new paint! Looks like it came right of the
production-line in some places, and in other places not so much..
2008-05-21:
Nice original car, has some rust but an honest low-mile
untouched, all original plus an eberspacher-heater and
albert mirrors. Very nice interior, and yes that is the original tool-kit laying
on the bambus parcel-shelf!
