Looks great Fabs! Better than ever!  ;)

what do you think about the lucas ??? correct position ??? i saw on scott baken that is lucas are a little bit higher than mine , me i took the middle of the bumper rubber for reference and scott is the up of the rubber
let me know  ::)
thx

Usually we centered them on the horn grill... since there was a hole there anyway. Position looks pretty good!

SUPER
I AM HAPPY FOR YOU DUDE
LUCAS FIT VERY WELL I ENJOY THEM

Looking very good, Fabs! Good to see the car being fixed in such a short time.
The Lucas indicators are looking "right" where they are positioned. I wouldn´t care about where others are having their´s.
I´m looking forward to see the car on the Torkers!!! 8)

Tobi

fab you have chanhe the front headlight???

yes i changed the left headlight why?

looks good. very nice :)

i prefer scott's lucas position








 ;) just kiddin -- looks good fab!

I agree, they look right on. Glad to see you getting it back together so quickly.

thx for the congrats guys , now next step is changing  the porsches drums by vw  drums to put the torkers

I wish they made those torkers in Porsche pattern. Those things look sweet. Going to give your car a more aggressive look.

--louis

Shit yes Fabs!! That thing looks sick!!!  ;D

no the torker is only the repro of the 5x205 torq trust i never seen a torquer in 5x130 ,  and the problem with the porsches drums that the spokes touch the drums and i've a 2cm or 3 cm  space between the wheels and drums

The Lucas lights really compliment the T-bars. Excellent!  ;D ;D ;D

They do Louis but they are called Torq Thrust D's they were only made in the Porsche Pattern in a 15x7 they look alot differnt because of the centers to me Nothing Compairs to American's large 5 Bolt there are not many around and they look Bitchen  ;D

louis ok i agree torq trust exist in 5x130 pattern , but those one are not repro those are original  ;D

love the look. and i am glad you like it too. they look really good there. had a safe trip home i see; so enjoy the cruising. got a green beer for you  ;D

not a green bottle nico , but a duvel or a chimay  ;D ;D
see you tomorrow for the bug tour  ;)

Fab, your car looks great,I hope you put those wheels on soon and show us some more pics. Henry

for sure henry i will post some pictures and thx for the kind word
fabs

Too bad you will have to loose the Porsche brakes to add the wheels, but it will be worth it for the look!

Fabs, I will trade you some VW Drums straight accross for your 356 Drums. I will even cover shipping  ;)

  :o  You're such a giver Sling!  ;D

no no slinger i guard my porsches drums and maybe one day i will sale them but for the time it's NO  ;D ;D
here's some pictures i took yesterday  after cleaning the bug , and just put the torquer in front of the black wheels what do you think  ::)

VERY NICE! 8)

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccccccce (like Borat said)
I'm impatient to see it during the EBI 2....
Good job, Fabs !

Fabian,

I'm thinking of putting a pair of these on the rear my '61, short rear axles with Type 3 drums.  I think these are 5 inch rims?  I have some 10mm spacers to widen the track a bit.  What size tyres will you use on the rears?  I have some 215/70s which I offered up to a rim but the inner width of the tyre is wider than the actual rim.  So it would be a big squeeze to get them on, not sure how 'bulgy' the tyres would end up.  Just wondered what you've managed to squeeze on to yours.  Also i understand the rim on the wheels as sold is just machined metal, was it a big job getting so fine a polish on this rims, they look 100% now.  i'm presuming you got the polish first and then painted them after?

Very cool rims though.  How often do you see original ones?  I only recall seeing the one set on Bernie's oval.

Cheers
Phil

did somebody say that the front was wrecked? well ya can't tell the car look's great. the only thing missen is the fricken licken, cheer's

 ;D

thx guys  ;)

thx phil
the wheels are just sandblasted and just a satin varnish on , no color , and after we have polish the wheels
i will go with 185 cinturato on the rear because i've just a 1200cc with extra HP  ;D and the tyres on the empi 5 were 215/65/15 too big for my little engine
i never seen the one on bernie's oval , but i saw one in the box at the last bug in and the set on dave galassi 62 an d i licked those one  ;D ;D ;D ,but those rims are very rare and cost a lot of $$$$$

I have some with 205/70 on them, out off the box, no polish job on mine...
on short axles without spacers

Man you gotta love rims to lick them!  Me I'm more of a rubber man, big meats do it for me!  So - you managed to get a 215 on a 5 inch empi 5 ok?  Not sure what my tyre guy is gonna say about getting them on....

215? Pah, try a 245/60 on a 5.5" rim, clears the springplate too an a long axle ;D

woaah that's some big meats.  That thing must be like a steam roller going round bends.  Whoever put the meat on must have had a serious struggle.  Crazy!  Those things are the soft ones too - must be good for 300 horse?  What's the lump?

1776, fk10, 40x35.5 heads!

that was just a spare tyre and wheel i had kicking around and put it on for shits and giggles ;D
