1972 porsche RSR wannabe. with the "big shoes".

Ok, first i am going to try spacers / adapters ... they are coming from http://www.performancewheeladapters.com and the model is this

"5x130 to 5x120 Wheel Adapter 1.25 inch" ...lets how how it turns out.

veljekset hämärä - strikes the karmann!

heheh, ok, this time i got things a bit forward... 

in the "no cuts – no glory" way.

one rear valance got out of the way :-) 

and i tryed the pop-up a bit higher, 

but it needs a bit tweaking, welding and a lot of magic. :-)

it looks promising though... i  also started to lower the rear, 

but the bolts are pretty tought to open, when your 

muscles are 50% of the old ones. ;-( 

i also took one old front light to get the some mock ups, 

and i have some ideas of some smaller details too..

what would look also cool... but that comes later...

 

have to locate more old school fuel tank cap.

but if nothing will show up, this will do fine.

these fookses, well, ....you will see pretty fast...

 these are the openings that i wanted to try, :-) meow?

hmmmm... what to do with the headlights?
good for me i have a solution in monday. :-)
...hmmmm..more secrets?

Al Reed is the king! - after me! ;-)

this looks pretty good, for me at least, 

im not sure how they should be painted, 

(even i have had many 4,5 original fuchs sets)

my standards are not so high, 

The chromed BRM wheels got also a touch of Black.
and yeah... they are with winter tyres ;-)

 Not a bad setup?

but ... the famous Fuchs detailer is the king,
to have nerves like steel 

or some great way to use professional stuff + lots of know how, 

how to do them right, BUT this is my first try to make, 

foochs replicas look even better. nd i had to try the BRM ´s too ;-)

its not an easy task, if you ask from me. :-)

ghia convert - on the run.

after many hours of work in kuplapaja, the vert woke up, and wanted home. ok, there were many isuues still to fix but... i wanted to take the "tub" home. for the cruise, it could´nt have been better... it was a warm summer night and i felt great! i also drove the car to our cottage, lost the brakes too, so i had to fix them before driving any further... there was 4 bars air in the tyres so the suspension felt a bit tough, ...and looks like i have to buy also new shocks, to get a better ride.

wheel swapping in espoo...

we swapped some wheels to Mika´s 1960 bus... the 5-spokes are a bit too normal in busses, but why not? they were sitting allready in mika´s oval, it wasnt an easy task, for many reasons, but at least the rear ones are in their place.... what else?

hmmm...tonight we are starting to move some stuff to Vantaa, huh huh...
