@Urbanmotorworks doors open and close with ease. Shuts with the tip of your fingers
@997_Turbo body a solid vehicle, has a sore spot left rear qtr.
@996TT thanks for your interest. The tach is not adaptable to the VW motor. To make this vehicle more of a daily driver we wanted a 12v setup with an alternator. There would need Sri be some thought out in the tech setup. Speedo and trip are the current working gauges. Steering- all bushings, shocks and damper were replaced- solid stiff steering. Drum brakes are all new and braking really good.
@Franz hello added more photos of rocket and jams. Floor pans are metal and are insulated on really good shape. No need to address. We addressed the front trunk floor pan. That was the only main area that needed replacing

Are the doors sagging? Does the tachometer work? How are the steering and brakes? Are these your concerns? Ambitious undertaking.
Greetings
I’m interested thus the following questions:
- Are the speedometer and tachometer working?
- If not would the tach work with the VW engine?
- How are the steering and brakes?
- Are the doors sagging or do they open and shut properly without lifting?
Thanks
Hello,
please, would you mind to add some fotos from the rockers underneath and rocker corners on the doors and the wheelhouses?
Is the floor inside done with GFK or is it solid metal?
Thanks in advance,
