Re: Aircooled night at C&M ?

I popped over in the Merc as Porsche and VW aren’t on the road yet, it’s only down the road from me and I know the guys who organised it well. I had to leave early but was already some incredible cars there at that point.

Re: Tyre choices

These are actually really making me question wether I should sell my originals on and get some Group 4 Torq’s in 5” and then run the 165 Pirelli CN36’s I have driven one and I get fully where you guys are coming from the 165 tyre definitely makes it feel more nimble. I haven’t driven one on the 185/...

Re: Tyre choices

That’s some great info thank you guys! I’m determined to get the 7” ones on, but worse case I have been tempted by some Group 4 Torq’s especially as they are going to be doing 5’s and 5.5’s soon, so could then go with a 165 CN36. But I already have my genuine Torq’s, oh the choices haha

Re: Uncovering original paint

Have a search on TheSamba.com forums for uncovering original paint. Oven cleaner is great, I’ve had good results with Cif and a scrubbing sponge also if the paint Over the top isn’t great. Picking off with a razor blade sometimes if it’s flakey.

Re: Tyre choices

Thanks Andy, I had been told that but wasn’t sure. I think may just have to go for it, but lot of money if it doesn’t work.

Tyre choices

Hi all, I’m trying to figure out tyre choice for my 67 912. I really want a period looking tyre with the right characteristics to suit a Porsche, such as the Pirelli CN36’s or Blockleys, but I have a set of 7” American racing Torq thrusts and the manufacturer’s both don’t recommend their 185/70 R15’...

Re: 67 912 my own take

Managed to get engine and gearbox in last night, feels like a bit of a milestone. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200604/1b6b4f4e0d5b31f3ab12495af54d4adb.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200604/80b2a2f78783b71fa3f450845c4de2be.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200604/e1119b55b1aaeeb369...

Managed to straighten out all the crumpled up tin and add on the extra bits that I was missing, so engine and gearbox now ready to go in. Air filters look bit on the clean side though.
