"Sloppy" is VW standard. Precision is not applicable in a T1 transaxle. If you want more "feel" you'll need to step up to a Porsche 993 or a Quaife.

Warren? You have a Cimbria sitting there collecting dust...

That's been floating around for a while. It actually looked worse last year. Yes, 911's are a monocoque; he used the 2.7 engine, which basically adds another 200 pounds to the overall rear weight, nevermind all the body filler.

Finding just a shell might be a bit difficult. Parts cars are much easier :-)

I always had 3 point retractables. The tensioner I'd mount behind the seat on the pan rail with a bracket so it was pointing in the right direction, the upper mount was behind the seat on the body, through-bolted to a 3" square piece of 1/4" aluminum and the latch portion was bolted to the...

Baz - I sent you Nic's email to contact. Otherwise, look through the usual suspects -the Facebook marketplace if you're on there, eBay and Craigslist. From time to time they'll show up on The Samba marketplace and other VW related pages.

Yep, just re-tap the current metal handle or weld on something else. You only need the shift "ball" at the bottom.

Hi Gang, I'm not on here as often as I should be. Life gets in the way that way. I did a production run of the "S" badges for folks that might need one or want one (or two) for their cars. ABS plastic with chrome and 3M tape on the back. These are correct in size and detail from the original...

The single problem with all those cool lights (and I do like them) is that if your state requires inspections and the inspector checks for DOT stamps, they'll be an instant fail.

No connection. The Probe pre-dated the Nova by a few years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probe_16

2 year old ad, so no, no way to see what it was.

Welcome aboard. Some of us have been following the story on that car. You've seen the possible history in this thread and history buffs like me simply cringe about the "doors" that were added. Good luck with your (re)build.

The problem with "today's youth" is they want something turnkey and able to be tuned with a computer. If some kid bought it, I can almost guarantee his first words will be "Imma gonna shove a V8 in there" and the car will just sit and go to ruin as they struggle to find out that you just can't...

Sterling glass is made for a US company overseas, but it isn't Pilkington. Fuzz's Cimbria glass is completely US made, but I never checked to see if it was DOT stamped or not.

Well, one thought that might not be an issue: is the Eagle glass DOT compliant? I doubt not. Both the Sterling and Cimbria glass are. In states that require inspections they will be looking for that certification mark.

Many owners took the handle out and glassed the recess. There would be no other manual latch.

Nice. You'll like having T-tops. Now, if your resto shop has the capabilities, see if they can mold those. I need a spare passenger side I think!

It's not the overall size, it's the curvature. Farfegnubbin never followed up with this thread; IIRC we (he and I) had taken a Sterling windshield and placed it over top of a Cimbria windshield and the curve was ever so different. Enough that even though the Cimbria is slightly smaller, there...

Totally forgot about that thread. I have a short memory. Like a gnat.

Another GT seems to have surfaced on YouTube. Appears to be somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Ruined, of course:
