then, HeSa you should have said you want this thread for sharing info, not for every split vert owner to post pictures and progress with his car.

a more accurate topic start should have been something like this: " a thread for every split vert owner, so we can share opinions, ask questions, debate some vert only parts, share knowledge, ... "

don't get me wrong but this thread started just like any reades rides " post beetles on brm's" " ragtop fest pics post them up" and so on.. just sounded like "post your split vert. "

Bengt H just posted a picture with his vert. not asked questions, not posting any info on his vert... just like in reader's rides forum.

i hope you understand what was i thinking when i posted earlier.. hope no harm was done Wink

Here´s my 51 as of last summer. Wish there was more to show but the metal work has not been proceeding in the time anticipated. 53 pans - still need get rid of the indents for the rubber mat buttons. Also the clips for the brake line are incorrect. Just a few of the disadvantages of being 2500 kms away from the project.

Block, cylinders and heads went to Czech Republic last weekend for machining. Gear box will go to Netherlands for full restoration as soon as I find the time.

The only missing original part is the co-pilots seat. According to the previous owner it remained in UK in 1987 when the car was bought to France.

Hey Rich, Klaus made that inner piece out of aluminum and screwed it down like the o.g. way. I think he has pictures on his site. I hope this helps. And If I cause a little conflict in posting this forum " My Bad " But these are one of the Hottest cars being sought after and built at this time. " to me" Lee
