Gotta make that one a poster!

The “Centerfold” photo of August Kit car Builder was titled “The Wonderful World of Porsche Replicas”.  It was taken at Carlisle this year.  Flanking the Porches on left and right are the MG Replicars.  I couldn’t get it below 1.2M.  Below is link to photo, you probably have to cut and paste, get message Flickr doesn’t allow embedding within fra…[Read more]

In MD it’s antique after 25 years. So my 1982 build date rated the “Historic” tag–never mind the ’69 chassis, ’66 engine or ’52 styling.

A classic, indeed.:-)

I haven’t laughed so hard since the ’60’s.

good one

Mine is titled in TN as a ’69 VW, and I could’ve put antique tags on it.  I chose not to, because I didn’t want to live with the constraints on driving it that those plates impose…

Agree that the bolt/stud should not run all the way to the top.  Note that bottoming out the rear suspension, which has likely been lowered by rotating the trailing arms one or two splines is what has likely knocked the old, original one off.

I agree with Ed on this. You do not want to run a bolt all the way to the top of the rubber bump stop. That would negate the purpose of the RUBBER bump stop. Having solid steeel inside the bump stop would turn  it into a solid “thud.”

My is titled as a “1974 VW” but the VIN is “SOSXXXXXXX” where SOS is the Illinois Secretary of State and the XXXXXXX is a number the SOS assigned to vehicle when they inspected it after assembly.  As such it would be eligible for historic license plates since it is over 25 years old.

Velcro: Great idea.

That’s pretty much the look I was going for, but those carts don’t come big enough.
