A Porsche Speedster KIT, or the real thing? A pic is worth 1000 words, if you managed to nab one.

It's sold.

Nice looking car, but not an -SS. This is a Gen-1. SS's have the doors that go all the way to the pan. Still great looking car. Is it still available?

Not sure if anyone would be interested, but I found one locally on CL in upstate SC. It doesn't run, but turns over. If your interested, I could help with logistics. It's in the Greenville, South Carolina Craigslist, just as I titled it; it's not mine, but only 20min from me. Seemed like a...

An intriguing question has puzzled me since the acquisition of Cimbria #3. With all 3 being Gen. 1's, I've noticed a difference with the yellow one. Both #1 and #2 (Red and Black) are very similar in style, shape, and features. However #3 seems to be the odd duck. I can't really put my...

I bought these two cars last year. Both came out of the Chicago area. The black one came first, and the previous owner stiffed me for the title. It's a complete car, minus the interior, and needs new floor pans to start with. It's a bigger project. The second one is properly titled, and...

Well, here we go again, again! Another one came available on KitCars.com, and I talked with the guy. Seems real nice, so we've been working out the details and price for about a month. I just cut him a check today. The car is in Chicago and will be transported by my company again, like the...

Hey all; I've got needs! There's probably a million parts to ask for, but I'll start with a few knowns; 1. Original Cimbria Tail light groups. Looks like one member can help with one, but I'll need the other 2. Bumpers (F&R), and rear bumper support tubes. The rear bumper is the most...

It's here! Having taken ~1-1/2 months, it's been a patient wait. Since it's not my first, I wasn't too anxious. Well, it's a dog! The floors are completely gone - some semblance of a dropped pan has been crushed and rusted through. The t/a is manual, not automatic. The guy said it only...

Does anyone have a set of the original steel wheels from a Cimbria? -Or, at least know the sizes including back-spacing?? Most distributors are getting rid of their 15" wheels these days, and some pretty good deals can be had on rims. I believe the size of the original spoked ones were 10"...

After my first kit car, I imagined doing it again, but never with the same car (Porsche Speedster "C"), but when we sold the Cimbria, I really regretted letting it go. So, after a hit on Cragslist, and the exchange of a few quick picks, I'm committed to another Gen 1 Cimbria (Yeah!) It's...

I regret many things I do, but as mentioned on another thread, I just graduated my first son. His present was a custom built, mil spec, limited edition AR-15. I really enjoy giving unique gifts, and this one has a good story to go along... That said, I began thinking about what to get my...

Here's a new one...My son pulls into the driveway and says the engine is making a noise. He starts it for me, and sure enough, a noise! It seems to be eminating from right in the muffler area, complicating diagnosis, as the valve cover, muffler (Dual Zooms), and heater box are all right there...

Hey all. I ran into a problem that's kept the Cimbria garaged for the last 3 weeks or so. The rims on the car are the 'factory' rims, as shown on the brochures from Amore (in my case). I have seen these on Sterlings also, but there may have been several options available. Anyway, I noticed...

Well, the saga begins with the adjustable spring plates. My Swing axle pan may be unique from most of your IRS versions, so I've 'jumped-threads' to cover this specifically. It looks like I'll be in it for the long-haul. I started replacing the spring plates Sunday after Church. 3-1/2 hrs...

One of the issues I noticed while squirrming around on the floor was that the riveted aluminum floor pans really 'talked to me' whenever I jumped in. They would 'bump' like some one hitting a cookie sheet with a felt mallet. I could also feel the buckle a bit when it happens, which is every...

Well, we're rollin'! I haven't posted much lately, since attention turned to the mundane, non-technical interior and exterior about a month ago. I determined not to run the car until I wasn't sitting in a nest of wires staring through open door bays, etc. All interior is complete, except for...

Moving from the ignition issues on my Cimbria, I did a little digging around the carburator last night, and it appears devoid of adjustments. It's a Holley carb, on a Bugpack manifold. Has anyone seen this setup before, and can advise on where to find some adjustment screws? Supposition suggests...

I dont' know whether I should tell this or not...O.k.: The throttle cable was not attached, so I set out to re-attach it this morning, having built up the courage to pull out the pedals and re-do the brakes and clutch (hopefully, you see where I'm going...) Long after yanking the brake rod...

Have any of you seen this unit before? Very small @ 7x8.5x18.5", with control box for only $330! I'm interested to know if it works...At that price, I think it's worth a try, if it doesn't take 7 batteries to run! Vintage Air Space Savers
