Title: An old lady likes to get back on the track! Post by: Basti on April 17, 2011, 09:38:30 am After waiting in the CSP showroom for around 10 years, this old
orange lady asked me if I can take her back on the track ;D So I picked her up and started to make it raceready again... If you have old pictures of the car you are more than welcome to post it here!! IŽam really looking forward to race this old lady.... Cheers.... Title: Re: An old lady likes to get back on the track!

Looking forward to seeing progress on this. What needs doing to make it race ready? Regards, James Title: Re: An old lady likes to get back on the track! Post by: Basti on April 18, 2011, 20:44:21 pm new gearbox, new engine, check the brakes, new tires, new ignition
and a lot of small jobs which takes a lot of time ;D Title: Re: An old lady likes to get back on the track! Post by: rick m on April 19, 2011, 03:21:37 am I have always liked this car since first seeing it. A classic drag look.
Rick M Title: Re: An old lady likes to get back on the track! Post by: Udo on April 19, 2011, 06:11:27 am Good to see it back on the track . Most important is that you only drive it on good tracks like Bitburg . Not the "run what you brung" events that are all around in germany .
What do you think you got it ready to drive ? Udo Title: Re: An old lady likes to get back on the track! Post by: Gunter on April 19, 2011, 06:44:20 am cool to know it will be racing again ... well a good idea to see some pics again
maybe from its USA days ... we campaigned the car overseas so there must be pics out there 8) thanks Gunter Title: Re: An old lady likes to get back on the track! Post by: Devils speedshop on April 19, 2011, 12:22:42 pm Looking good, can't wait to see the car with its new engine, and how it performes.
Christian Angora Racing Title: Re: An old lady likes to get back on the track! Post by: Basti on April 19, 2011, 13:27:19 pm I hope to have it raceready end of next month.
But this is only if everything works fine... Basti Title: Re: An old lady likes to get back on the track! Post by: Udo on April 19, 2011, 19:52:14 pm In fact that there is not much interest in germany in vw dragracing it is good to see a new(old) car coming. Klaus Mulsow who is the most important part of our team is building a new car for the old engine of "the orange" :-)
See you Udo Title: Re: An old lady likes to get back on the track! Post by: LuftsickTero on April 20, 2011, 06:08:38 am If you have old pictures of the car you are more than welcome to post it here!!
