| I have long been searching for a proper project for a 70s style rallye car. It had to be cheap, it had to be a 1303S, and it had to have a sunroof. In october 2012 I found a good candidate. It was located quite near my parents house, and I went to look at it an early saturday morning. It had been customized during the 80s, and had 9" rear and 7" front ATS rims, plastic fenders, welded trim holes etc. Best of all: It had a pair of totally awesome 70s RECARO seats. It had a watercooled 2,1 liter engine in the rear, but the conversion was (luckily) never completed. As a result of this engine swap, the engine compartment was hacked up in order to make place for the 2,1. The car was also lowered. It has some rust issues, but not too bad either. The ATS rims will be sold and a set of 5,5 inch sprintstars will replace the ATSs. A 1303 parts car will donate some donor parts for this project. I have also collected some parts for this project over the last years. A Type 181 army transmission will be used for this project, and a 2442 Fuelinjected Type1 engine will find its place into the rear. The car had papers that stated it had been approved with 7" and 9" rims as well as a "dual carbed engine". |
