'69 / '76 Germanlook Project

[dub_crazee]

not a lot to report - waiting for my chassis to come back from blasting/coating (ABS blastic/Perfect Coatings Bedfordshire) before i can really get stuck in building it up! The bolt on panels are on to get them out of the way! Started building the doors up and dug out my mint condition padded dash from under my bed







have had some nice rear caliper brackets made up front ones are in the process of being done. 944 front hubs have been machined for my dropped spindles.









and a pic of some of the stuff thats just come back from being coated





had a few geuine type iv rocker covers coated.

keeping a couple of sets of myself but may sell some if any interest



and my steering wheel which will match my dash pretty well. as far as i can tell its pretty damn rare. ive tried searching the internet to find more about it and only found a couple of threads of people tryin to find more out about them lol



some progress is better than no progress

if anyone is interested in having some 996 caliper brackets made for 944 turbo arms with 996 discs please let me know as i may have a batch made if there is enough interest

cheers

Not a lot more progress- but something is better than nothing!

Had a trip to my local friendly second hand parts suppliers who supplied me with 2 battered seats ive stripped just for the subframes. these will be mounted to my 996 seats over christmas as the seats are at my parents!

I also obtained a great condition speedo. I wanted to return the clock to zero, as the car will be basically brand new - thanksto julian for the tips



Speedo in many peices





this is the drive that needed to be disconnected so i could wind it




looks brand new again!




couple pics of my dash im UBER pleased with. Its proper mint! the only thing i had to do was repaint the speedo bezel bit. Fitted two rocker switches for heater front and rear screens too - tried to make it look as factory as pos.









Then tonight, thanks to julians little box of levers, i rebuilt my door locks to match my VW key for the rear lid catch



just gota do my ignition barrel now, which, after some research, is a feckin ball ache to remove from the housing as i have to drill a hole to get to the retaining clip - vw thought it best to omit this hole for some reason?!


AND MY CHASSIS IS FINALLY GETIN COATED!!! WHOOOOOOP!!! popped by perfect coating this evening - it should be black by tomorrow!









it does have some holes though ... when this comes back to me il repair it and touch it in.



hopefully il make some good mprogress before the new year!
