My '67 Fastback

Post by justprawn » 23rd February 2007 - 11:11pm

Finally managed to get my fastback back from the garage. I can't make my mind up to go for the rat look or try and restore. Anyway lots of new bits and pieces on the way including a new set of wheels if anybody is interested in buying the 2litres off me.

Looking forward to driving up to the Volksworld show.

Anybody got any idea how to order from Flat4 in Japan as they sell bumbers and overrider kits for about half the price that they are sold for over here - even though they are Flat4?

Here are a couple of pictures:

Anybody know anything about it's past?

Cheers

Hi there, nice fasty. Can't help you on the Flat4 stuff, but are you still thinking of selling your wheels as I might be interested :) . Cheers.

Hi

Wheels have gone I'm afraid.

I managed to get a set of Flat 4 overriders from ISPWest in the States. They marked the value low on the paperwork so I have hardly paid any import duty - Worked about three quarters of the price that they would have cost over here and about the same price than from flat 4 direct.

Thanks anyway

Thanks for getting back to me so quick. That's a shame. I saw them on Will Barratt'ss 66 fastback in the projects page and thought they'd look wicked all polished up on my fasty. :cry: Hey ho. I guess I should probably get my gearbox sorted before spending my cash on some fancy wheels. Could you tell me what they're called for future reference and how much they tend to go for? Thanks ;) .

They are Porsche 914 2.0litre alloys - they were originals but you can get reproductions fairly easily.
