thanks, the mirrors are Vitaloni California, I have ordered them from damontweeks.co.uk but ebay (french, italian, english) is full of them..

The handles are from a FIAT Barchetta

Will post some more pics of the new type4 engine soon

Actually I have a stock 1600 ccm type 1 in the back, because we are (re)building my type IV during this year. After the engine project I'm planning to change the rims and give a more agressive look to the car..we'll see

What size are they? Bolt pattern?

After the summer, I gave back the 1.6 type1, and continued working on my type4. Actually the block itself is ready with all the goodies inside. I have to install the cooling, the carbs, the ignition, the exhaust and the oil-cooling system..so there are things to do. Here are some specs of the engine:

It will be a 2056 ccm engine for my daily driver

- Stock crankcshaft + polished conrods + lightened flywheel (fully balanced)
- 96 mm AA Pistons
- Porsche 914 heads (Jake Raby 44/36 valves, 9,5:1 compression)
- Jake Raby Super Valvetrain kit (Cam, gear, springs, retainers, keepers, pushrods etc.)
- Willibald manifolds
- bosch el. ignition
- Porsche cooling
- 228 mm Clutch
- B.A.S. Exhaust
- B.A.S. linkage for carbs
- New Weber 44 IDFs
- EARLS AN fittings
- the exhaust doesn't allow me to use my dry-sump pump, so I have to go with the 30mm Schadek :-/

Hi,

some progress with the wheels: I was very disappointed that the original BBS gold didn't match the car at all..so I have decided to refurb the wheels and give them a custom paint job. Barrels got polished lips, centres became grey (with gold effect, very cool in sunshine) and still confused about the colour of the bolts.

Actually this is the only picture uploaded, but more than nothing. You can see the BBS logo stamped in the wheel kept it's original colour, it looks sweet IMO. More pics to come

[NO_H2O]

Those should look sweet on the car. I would go with black lug bolts.

wow! progressing...day to day, congratulations!
