SS100 partially completed for sale. Posting for interest only.
Seems to be near me. If anyone is seriously interested I could take a look/pictures.

Scam is always a possibility but if so I don’t think that they would ever let me see the actual car.

Rich Kallenberger replied to the topic Spare tire query in the forum General Discussion 6 years, 1 month ago
My Fiberfab came to me with a full spare trunk mounted and I have had no problems.
There is a fiberglass “hat” which bolts thru the trunk cover and the metal tire bracket mounts to that.
I have the same piano hinge which you described. There is a photo in my media gallery.

Alert 😳 Take a close look at that plastic tarp! My car was heavily scratched by a used blue tarp which the well-intentioned delivery driver used to cover the car in transit. When they get old, plastic tarps turn into sandpaper. A car just sitting there with wind movement could result in scratches on all of the points of contact.
Just sayin.

Rich Kallenberger started the topic Door Fitting Problems in the forum General Discussion 6 years, 4 months ago
I was prompted by Happyjack’s recent comment about his doors not fitting flush to open a topic about getting doors to fit. Be warned that I have no answers but I think that this is a common problem and maybe some answers will emerge.
First; my experience with my FiberFab when I acquired it was that the doors fit poorly, one not closing all the…[Read more]

Rich Kallenberger replied to the topic Refresh "Sammy" Black BCW in the forum My Project 6 years, 5 months ago
Not sure I should even reply on the steering topic because my TDr is VW based but mine had stiff and irregular steering due to- 1. Poor alignment of column and steering box, 2. Flimsy mounting of column at both the dash and chassis ends, 3. Missing bushings inside the outer steering column, 4. Shaft coupling rubbing on the fiberglass side panel,…[Read more]

Rich Kallenberger replied to the topic Refresh "Sammy" Black BCW in the forum My Project 6 years, 6 months ago
I love the electrical panel. I built a much rougher one on plywood and it helped clean up the wiring mess. I have one suggestion, if it isn’t too late. Can you rotate the panel 180 so that the terminal strip is at the top and the fuse block is at the bottom? That way the wires, which hopefully you will never have to access again 😉 will be t…[Read more]

Rich Kallenberger replied to the topic Removing my old carpeting help! in the forum General Discussion 6 years, 7 months ago
I certainly agree about Goofoff. It has serious toxic warnings. Not really a concern for occasional use but you’ll likely spend hours leaning over the solvent-soaked carpet so you would get a big dose. The oscillating tool sounds promising. Also, I have seen roofers use an angle grinder with a wire brush to remove tar-saturated seam tape fro…[Read more]

Rich Kallenberger replied to the topic Troubleshooting Help in the forum VW Based Kits 6 years, 11 months ago
I’m curious. If the rear wheels are not parallel, are you experiencing uneven tire wear? Being a worrier, I also wonder if TDrs can have similar errors in the other plane – left to right, probably as a result of an accident.

I hoped to insert a photo here but I can’t seem to get it out of my media file.It is #32 in my gallery.
I have a similar problem with fender alignment which I have puzzled over for some time. One thing which was helpful was to try to isolate where the problem was with the use of a photo. I parked the car on level ground and then aligned my camera…[Read more] -

Here’s an interesting one:

Sadly many DIY electric conversions never see completion. I think that as prices for lithium batteries continue to fall or used hybrid battery packs become available more of these will be on the road.

Recently stumbled on this short list of TDRs movie appearances on an interesting web site about movie vehicles.

Doesn’t seem complete but interesting nonetheless. 📽

Rich Kallenberger replied to the topic Steering Vague in the forum Chevy/Ford Kits 7 years, 3 months ago
Before tearing apart the steering, are your tires more than, say, 8 years old? Even if they look fine internal tread separation will cause the symptoms you describe. Been there.

Rich Kallenberger replied to the topic Project Zella in the forum My Project 7 years, 3 months ago
I experienced similar idle problems with my 70 bug TD. I had not yet found this site but did get good advice through Samba. Before connecting your nice new carb to the fuel system you really need to be sure the entire system is clean. I did two carb cleanings and spent hours reaming and flushing the tank to engine compartment line before it pa…[Read more]
