Tom, thanks for posting some shots of that set up. Those are trick! The car sits real nice from what I can tell so far.

I posted this shot a while back on the photo thread; this is your car right?? If so excellent choice in wheels!!!

Anyone of you guys ever seen a set of (perhaps one or two of a kind sets ever made?!?) 5,5 x 15 Campagnolo Abarth Magnesium rims with a 5 x 205 bolt pattern....

????

I have never seen mags like those before. I'm sure your buddy has a complete set of four? I imagine you'd be hard pressed to find a mate for these.
Very interesting looking vintage wheel; the pattern puts me in mind of a dart board. Hope you get the rear of the car dialed in soon it sure is alot of work to adjust and readjust those spring plates.

Justin,

I think dialing in the rear is just easy with the right, factory, tools... We have those, so I think it will work out real nice.

Process is scheduled for the next two weeks, I will show some progress pics.

Have fun,
Tom

Tom,
Photo reminds me of the Bullit Mustang, with that green and the mags.
A merger of that car and the Bisset C Cab in the same film. I always thought a set of Techomagnesios that could be fitted with a standard chrome moon cap would look great, if you're going for a smoother look. If you keep your windshield washers, use the teardrop's from a C car. A set of fat stainless tips at original outlets would be sweet. But I digress. Green tubs have that effect on me....

Your car is looking very nice. Looking forward to your progress.

Alles bestens,
Joel

Mark,

I will take some detail shots of the headliner, steering wheel and column (what is an special solution) tomorrow.

The wheel was purchased some years ago from an collector. It is an original dished Nardi (not specific Porsche model) from the 60ies wich is combined with an also Nardi manufactured hub for PreA specs and an original Porsche hornbutton. All parts were NOS and I have never seen a second combination like this again.

For me, the perfect wheel regarding to size and looks. Details of the wheels are outstanding....

Thanks Tom. What shade of green is that on the Vdub ? Very nice. Like the Nardi too. I'm a Jensen, so my wheel is too, from a CV8, about 500 produced in the early 60's. I got this one from a collector in Germany. Modified to fit a Nardi hub and a button from a French vendor. 16 1/2" with a great view of the instruments. I call my car an Inlaw, that is nothing has been done to it that can't be replaced or removed to make it stock again.

You could also call it period accessorizing....

Best
Joel

I thought I recognized it. My mechanic has one like it and I agree, it is one of the prettiest wheels I have ever seen. I hope to find one someday. Please do post some more pics.
