Sorry guys no updates apart from a change in plan.
I had some time off over Christmas but unfortunatley I spent it in bed sick. Any way the plan was to put my turbo motor in out of my gold 65 bug. But I have decided to put together a 2387cc NA motor. With some parts I have back here and parts I still need to buy.
I still do not know what colour to paint the car lol
Will get back on it soon thinking of doing a road trip to Germany in March to a NSU parts shop to get all that I need.
Thanks for keeping a eye on what I'm up to guys, nice to know this thread is still being looked at.

I know what your saying Roland only thing is it look the same as Ian's Fiat 850 he is doing.
Was going to do it white with a Gold metal flake roof, as people link me with Gold because of my beetle. But that's going down the same root as Pete's Fiat 600.
Then I was going to do it Blue no Lee's Renault is light Blue. Lots of my friends keep saying Orange, but I have already had a Orange car so don't want to do that.
I know it does not really matter if there is two cars the same colour. Just would be nice if I could do something a bit different.

Mark I leave the Pink to Jim Smith and Nik like the idea only thing is the body work has to be spot on for a black car. Not to sure I can ever get it that straight.

Evening Martin! Been having a look on the net for NSUs, and you've pretty much eliminated every colour that looks good on them! I like the idea of a different coloured roof. Dark orange looks spot on, not too light, and I think that a black roof would really set it off. The race NSUs have black stripes in various places too. I don't like white on them so much, but the same gold as your '65 would look good, especially if you black out the handles and light rings again! Two tone is the way to go I think! Neil EDIT: fixed spelling after cat walked over keyboard... |

- sorry Martin, you might think its boring BUT having seen it in the flesh, the original colour is cool as f#ck.. . . . Yes it's orange-y, and yes you've had an orange car before ( many, many years ago though remember..) -but the colour is great, it's not a boring orange, and who has ever regretted painting a car the original factory colour ? ? |

I do miss my old 66 bug Steve.  Porsche Tangerine, ok add that to the list then. Also like Porsche Olive after Alex panited one of his 67's last year in it. Neil still not to sure it would look right as the same gold as my bug. Nick did think satin black with a green metal flake roof, but that a hot rod thing. |
