A 1964 NSU Prinz 1000 and 1969 1200 TT. Pretty good overall. Just starting to tear into them.

I gotta work DATR, but the guy I bought one of them from should bring his vintage race one down, even if not finished. You gonna be there?

No way I can make it, but just drag those POS's out there and park 'em for people to gawk at.... might be a nifty draw to the Snow booth too... shows the folks that they have some true old skool love waiting for them at Snow!

Yep, got some twin 40 dellortos and the manifold already. The other one will run on twin single barrel downdrafts until I get the sidedraft injection setup lined out.

Yeah, they really do look like corvairs with the bodyline and headlight and no-grille setup. They are tiny, though, and the proportions are alot more along the lines of a BMW 1600/2002. Can't wait.

Dude... I cant wait to see these badboys in person!

greggearhead · « **Reply #14 on:** September 27, 2008, 11:48:20 AM »

Picked up some 14" Fuchs and a header.

brandonb85 · « **Reply #15 on:** September 27, 2008, 12:02:05 PM »

I'll take one ... man i cant wait to see these things done..

scurvy_bandit · « **Reply #16 on:** September 27, 2008, 07:22:21 PM »

You going to put them wheels on soon?

Man I will be so excited for next spring in COS, there should be some sweet rides rollin around

Scott · « **Reply #17 on:** September 27, 2008, 07:47:03 PM »

So are these actually going to get some exterior work done too or is this a typical Greg project where the exterior is so far down the list, it never gets done?

greggearhead · « **Reply #18 on:** September 28, 2008, 07:25:51 AM »

Heh, no, these are actually going to get bodywork and paint and be presentable at a show. The vintage racer will have to be, the street car won't have to be, but needs it more. I'm gonna have to polish my welding skills by practicing on Clampy- the off-road Toyota, where it won't matter.

Scott · « **Reply #19 on:** September 28, 2008, 01:19:14 PM »

Oh, where the hell do you source a header for cars like these??

SwiftMKIII · « **Reply #20 on:** September 28, 2008, 02:20:36 PM »

From what it sounded like, you find one from another car that just seems to fit anyways

Kirk Racing actually has a pattern based off the factory race kit for the TTS. The factory race pack was a header, muffler, cam and jetting, I think. Made right at about 100hp out of 1000cc in the 1960s. Not bad. THey will make a run when they get 5 orders at a time or something like that. The president of the NSU club takes all the orders and organizes it. Great club.

I think he might mean this picture. If not, count me as curious.
