Gentlemen, I have just procured for myself a 1973 1303 Sport Bug
with the rare original steering wheel, and seats. No engine, or transmission, beat down interior, and SOLID pans, just like I wanted!
Got my wheels; 17x7, and 17x8.5 996 Twisties.
Got my brakes; 83 944 n/a, plus front spindles, Kerscher joints, and rear control arms (thanks John!)
Got my gearbox; 914/901, ready to go.
Gettin' my motor together; 2270 with 96mm Nickies, and a DTM.
Gonna build my own dash from an original 1303 piece.
Got mad ideas for the shift rod from NO_H2O (Dave, I found a square chunk of aluminum that's PERFECT)
I hope to have it ready for an official "VKG Tire Kickin" by the Taccoa show next year.
Now I gotta save up for Christmas...
