Here is a picture (sorry for the bad quality) of the parts to pimp the inside : - 912 steering wheel for the "not so deluxe" sport touch
- Shiftstar gearstick also "not so deluxe"
- VDO pressure gauge
- VDO temp gauge
- VDO 8000RPM tachometer
Next time : Welding works on the shell |

Love the gauges you are using,in the same(chromed ring)style as the speedometer.(Looks like a factory option.)  |

That's exactly the effect I wanted to make, to look like a factory build sporty dashboard.

Thanks a lot, but you have to know the truth... All that work hasn't been done these last weeks, here is the timing of the project : - Welding of the shell was done last year from september to december
- Primer coat on the shell has been done in spring this year
- Painting of the shell, in last aug.
- Welding of the pan, anti-rust treatment and painting this summer
- Rebuilding of the pan, this september
- The shell met the pan this september too
- Doors, wings, decklid and bonnet incomming from painting
- Building of the powerplant and assembly of the shell this winter 2010
- Hope to be ready for FreddyFiles 2010
As I didn't have space enough to rebuild the car in my little garage, a very kind farmer allowed me to use his stable during this summer when the cows were out all the days... Very very beautifull uncommon place to rebuild a nice little car ! Here are pictures of the mess before installing the parts and the corner of the farm I used... |

I have to try a solution with a 914 steering hub, I'll tell you if it works... But with it, no horn.

I've fitted one in mine.... with horn:  The turn signal stalk is close, but not too close that it's a problem. |
