Hi,
I'm new on this awesome forum.

This is my '55 oval.

The original 36hp engine is completely rebuilt with a pepco supercharger, light flywheel, balanced and stronger valve springs,
external fram filter, ampco, abarth exhaust.

porsche 356B drum brakes and wheels.

Cheers
Jan

I've got 135/70 front and 165/86 back.
My wheels are 4 1/2 j x 15.

a little engine 60hp, I think with bigger tires, I'm not fast enough. Grin Grin Grin

And maybe I get rid the 12V sticker.

cheers

hey
since it is not a fully rebuilding off the car, leave it as it is. just add some period correct things and it will look nice the way it is. i saw a very very nice (swedish, finish, norwegian,???) car parked right in front off the VoWo show last year just before it opened and i liked that car very much. blue car single quietpack,...
and it was not a showstopper, but had a great look in my opinion.

sadly no picture, maybe our scandinavian friends know what car i am talking about. i think it had early grey porsche rims and the car was some kind off blue. i can't remember more. but i'll look around andmaybe i can dig up something.
