Project "topless" ;-)
Hi again!
Just took a couple of pictures of this winters project, my girlfriends 1972 1302 S Roadster. I have many plans for this car, but my wallet doesn`t agree... :rolleyes: If anyone has a free set of 16" Porsche Fuchs let me know! More pictures will be added during the asembly process. (Did I spell that right?) The car is planned finnished in the end of April 2005. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1.jpg~original http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1.jpg~original http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2.jpg~original |
By the way, the colour is VW Black magic pearl (LC9Z), the wheels are 7 & 9" ATS.
|
looks like its going to be pretty sweet!!! :agree:
|
Going to take more photos of the car in just a couple of days, and the engine is just waiting in the garage ready to be installed.
We went for a reliable 1600cc, tuned to about 80BHP. :sleep: Picked up a set of Autometer instruments last week, and a new Momo steering wheel. The front seats are from a MK1 Golf GTI, and the stereo is prom Pioneer. |
Looks very nice. Curious about how you tuned that 1600 to 80hp. Could you give any specifics?
|
topless = sexy :D :agree:

AS41 enginehousing, don`t remember the specs on the camshaft, lightened flywheel, 2 dual 40 solex carbs, ported and polished heads with bigger valves and stiffer springs, headers with a dual glasspack exhaust, bigger oilpump with full flow, T2 oilcooler.
|
Wow, thanks. That was probably the quickest reply I've ever seen. I asked only because I'm assembling a T1 at the moment, and I'm always interested in the different combos people use.
|
Looking sweet.
You got-a-love a black car. :laugh: |

that's pretty good output out of the 1914. roadster is looking nice. you can't go wrong with black. esp with polished 16" Fuchs.
remember, lots of pics and a few tech articles should come out of that project. :D |
Yes, that is good output. I can't wait for the tech articles. :D
|
That should look great when it's finished, I really like the vent in the rear panel... it looks very Porsche like ;)
Keep us posted with the pictures. |
More pictures might come tomorrow! :D
|
Picked up the car today, so here`s some new pictures for you! ;)

Man that thing is sweet.
I remember from way back the roadsters were really hot, a lot of magazines covered them, always loved them. I like the clean look so much better over the convertable look with that bulky top in the back. Very nice. Although maybe not GL, I love the wheels you have on them, always been a big fan of the 'fat lip''. Very cool. Rob. |
I hope this roadster will be good, but I`d rather have an original 1302/1303 convertible as a project. The plan is a low budget summercar, but things usually get a little out of control... :rolleyes:

I'd say chances are slim it will be low budget :laugh: :agree: Rob. |
The reason why I called it "low-budget" is that the Roadster was hit from behind by a stolen car, so the insurance money will at least cover the cost of the paint job. ;)
I hope to keep the budget from now on, but I`m affraid that plan just went down the toilet.. :shrug: All sponsors are welcome.... ;) |
:eek: Nice paint, it looks even better when in day light, although it does look a little cold :laugh:
Your girlfriend is going to be one lucky lady driving that about this summer time. |
Cold??? :rolleyes:
It`s freezing here!! :eek: Just five more months, and the summer is back again.... ;) |
Awesome! Is it a stock VW config? 1302 S Roadster? Available in US? Searched web but could not find more info...
|
No, it was a standard 1302 S saloon until we cut the roof off and welded in reinforcements.
We modified the rear so it still has five seats. |
VERRY VERRY NICE!!! :D

Here are some fresh photos taken this weekend!
Sidemarkers from a MK4 Golf http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...4.jpg~original Engineroom and third brakelight from a Audi TT Roadster http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...0.jpg~original New Autometer C2 instruments http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1.jpg~original |
Heres more... :D
New MOMO steeringwheel and gearknob http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...3.jpg~original ...... and the rest of the car http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...6.jpg~original More pictures will come next weekend if I remember to bring the camera... ;) |
Found a couple more photos... :rolleyes:
Better angle of the Audi TT Roadster third brakelight http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...9.jpg~original In.Pro clear front turnsignals for a MK1 Golf http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...4.jpg~original http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...5.jpg~original That`s definately all for now..... |
Brilliant light choices :agree: nice side ducts in engine bay.
|
Thanx! The side ducts help a lot when you have to change the spark plugs or adjust the carbs. The headlamps will be clearglass for a MK1 Golf as well, but they haven`t arrived yet.
|
I have seen the Mk IV side blinkers before, but the Mk I front blinkers? Brilliant! I love 'em.
I am also surprised how good the Autometer C2 gauges look with the stock speedometer. I'm curious as to how they look at night. Also, what size Momo steering wheel is that? Does it block the view of the tach? That's some serious custom work. Well done. |
I can take a couple of photos of the C2 instruments turned on next weekend when I return to the inlaws.
The MOMO steeringwheel is called Race, and it is 350mm in diameter. |

|
Thanx!
New photos will arrive in a couple of hours...... :) |

It`s been quiet now for a couple of weeks :sleep: , but this coming weekend the work on our project will continue. The new headlamps have arrived and the interior will go back into the car. Pictures will be posted sunday....... ;)

What kind of seats are those? I am looking for a nice set w/ bolsters to put in my 72 Super and those would be perfect.
