When skinny tires rocked!
Werner Von Braun and Rocketdyne f-1 engines (1969).
From The Grand Tour
Bought this car back in 2014 to replace my ’59 AH300 that was sold 20 years ago. This is a harsh ride. The engine is the original 2.6 liter unit and Cylinder head restoration is on the schedule this winter.
Looking to add a BN1 or BN2 to the collection, these cars are lovely!
Bought this car in Oregon 1997 and its been with me ever since, was a daily driver in the summer from ’97 to ’00 when it got new paint and interior. Extremely nice 3 owner car, almost a “survivor” series car but the paint and interior was too dull.
US Pacific climate and summer use in Norway has kept it 100% rust free and 99% original.
Moving on to interior, engine, suspension and electronics mostly done.
Nut and bolt restoration is never fast, may we hit the roads in 2025?
Slowly staring at a new project, 1303 Beetle with a Model S Tesla drivetrain. Lots of work ahead but this is not going fast… until the engine is installed! 🙂 🙂
The car is now stored for the winter and it will be tuned early spring 2023. Adjusting the K-jetronic and ignition is all that is left. 🙂
Finishing the fuel line and ignition for the 911R tribute.
