1200 "Autobahn-Renner" [NL]
Salut!
Finally remembered the name of the new site, so will give you a little presentation of my project in progress.
Some people might already know me as the webmaster of http://www.keversite.nl, but I am also building a 'german-style' car. As speaking I'm a 20 years old Automotive Engineering student living in The Netherlands.
The car is based on a chassis from '73, but all parts around it are gathered from many different other cars. The body from a '84 Velvet Red Beetle is mostly converted to a '65 model. The chassis is converted to an IRS rear-suspension and features a 914-transmission.
Let's talk pictures.
This is how it started in the autumn of 2003:
Some pictures of the bodywork done myself:
At the bodyshop http://www.kaagkevers.nl :
Tadaa!
Meanwhile I worked on the chassis.
914 transmission:
IRS conversion:

When all this was done, chassis and body were temporary merged, because of an indoor show in the Netherlands.
After that the chassis and body were seperated again.
Installed headliner:
Chassis almost ready:
Chassis
» IRS conversion
» 914 transmission with custom nosecone and shift-linkage
» Porsche Boxster S wheels
» 195/45/17 fronttires Goodyear Eagle F1
» 215/45/17 reartires Goodyear Eagle F1
» stock beetle frontdiscs an reardrums 5x130 (will be upgraded in future)
» front: Koni Red, 15mm Eibach stabi and larger camber-adjusters
» rear: KYB-GR2 and 19mm Bugpack IRS stabi
» all rubbers replaced by stiff urethane
» self-made Cup-Strebe
Time for the body again:
For now I will use VW GolfII GTI seats
And finally back at the chassis again:
At the moment I am completing the custom wiring and several other small things. From now it won't take much time to get it street legal and drive it. After that I will continue to change and improve things, but that's just a matter of time (and money)!
More pictures and info can be found at:
» Restoration
» IRS Conversion
» 914 transmission
» Datasheet: www.autobahn-renner.nl
Just ask about things you want more information about; above is just a fast presentation.
Best regards,
Aart-Jan

Thank you!ayrton a écrit :
hello and welcome here.
very nice and very nice job. i love your german.
Oh, forgot to mention that one.ayrton a écrit :and what about the engine?
For now the engine will be limited by my budget, so I'm going to do some experimental work on a 1585cc Type1 engine. But first I'm going to mount MegaSquirt with some 1600i hardware and just drive (and datalog) to learn the car and engine better.
