Protected by St.Christophorus

More important than the rollcage, harness, helmet and the fire extinguisher ;the St.Christophorus  badge

One of my favorite rallye cars
This oldschool VDO tachometer was in the car when I bought it. This will stay with the project!
The dash in the donor car. In very good condition. 

The watercooled engine has moved out. No more water for this fighter.

The donor; a 1974 1303, will have to donate some parts for my project. A pristine dash and speedometer, front and rear suspension, rear clip, mirrors, wire loom, door and hood handles and other useful parts.  It has already donated its sprintstars to my rallye car. This one used to be a "Porsche-looker" in the 80s, and had some ugly fiberglass parts attached to it. Anyway, it will prove useful for my rallye project.

The seats that came with the car were these awesome 70s RECAROs. They will be swapped with a pair of 70s Scheel racing seats, but the RECAROs will be in reserve. The door panels were in awesome shape.

Fenders were donated from a fellows 1974 1303. Almost totally rust and dent free, these fenders are perfect for this project. The best thing is that they were free! As were the swedish spec bumpers with integrated headlight washers.
