My 68

[Danborn]

This is my bus
I thought I show you some pics of my 68 bay.

It has 944 brakes and early fuchs, and This winter it will receive a 2.2 flat six and a type-1 gearbox…..

looks really fast already, a 2.2 youll be running 15 sec quarters :wink:

 

[Danborn]

Thanks, glad you’re like it!
Well for the first picture, I don’t know, it was my friends 10 years old son that snapede the pic with a Nikon D40 in an other early bay!

I will keep your updated with the progress, I have been measured the gearboxes and it should be easy to fit the type-1 gearbox,
15 sec… Hmmm, wouldn’t be bad would it?

Thanks, no unfortunally maybe next year…

But I have a small up date on my car, and some pics
Here is a pic of the type-1 gearbox modified to fit the 68
I used drive flange from an 181/Thing to match the Axels of the Bay
Then I made a shifter coupler 1.5 cm longer than stock,
Moved the clutch cable slightly. And made a longer gearbox mount..


Works Great! 2800 rpm. At 100 km/h top speed 190 km/h
New front Wheels 4.5” Fuchs….
Btw the flat six delivers 141 hp and 201 nm not bad for a 2.2!

I have also mounted central locking, nice!

Mounted 7 cm dropspindels so I have a descent ride height..

And for the winter, air shocks all around

Ohh and I made it walkthrough! From a scraped bay it toke me 3 hours..
It was a huge improvement..
