Are you making the rear as a removable apron like on a bus so that it will be easier to remove the engine in and out. This is the plan I have for my NSU because I do not have enough room to pull the engine as you would on a bug so I will have a removable apron.

And Martin says he likes easy access to the rear for his backdoor action   It really is proper tight in in there , plenty of room at the side's but very tight up to the valence  If we're gonna get a header in there , may have to get creative with some valence blisters , I've suggested maybe have to look at some angle flow heads just to give the exhaust plumbing a chance don't really fancy too tight a bend coming outta the head . Progress is looking good , well done Jon |

Possibly run a curved rolled pan, almost rounded bumper look maybe 4" diameter, plenty of room for pipes then perhaps? |

Fit the header then just cut the rear panel about til it fits! That what I will be doing Neil.  Have got some T Bars for it no bumpers going on this car. Along with NO Trim, Lucas Indicators and one peace windows. Can we all see where this is going. I'm off work next week, so going to be starting on the motor. Going for a 2109cc 76x94 to start with then with a 2387cc later on. The 2109cc with be built with a Mag case, 76mm Rev Master crank, H beams, FK89, Comp Elims Heads top off with the MFI I got off Mike Lawless. The plan is to have it finish and to be driving it down the road by the end of this year. |

Well I brought the NSU from storage over the weekend and I have it on the side of the house on 4 jack stands ready to do some cutting and welding. Anymore pictures of your project I know it as been three months since I had posted.
Thanks

Cool that good to hear Frenchy. I got a weeks holiday off work next week, so the plan is to do the inside aluminum panel work. Soon as this is done its over to the paint shop to start shaping the body work and get some paint on it. Have all the motor parts sat here just waiting on my heads to come back from the machine shop. Busy winter ahead me thinks. |

Well the welding is now 99.9% finished I think. Jobs this week was to weld the dash up and to make some seat frames (ok it's two pieces of box tube) and some mounts for the fuel tank. So next week or so off to start on some of the paint work.    |
