First Venture into the World of Neu Klasse

[MikeinNC]

Definitely a crazy guy, but then most of the 02ers that have met me know that already The GT is gone and I had a hole in the garage Just hauled this down from Virginia 65 1800 Lots of things done already, a bit to get it going A decent project car Hopefully will have it running for Vintage.

Thanks Adam and Claiborne!

I knew this forum was going to get me in trouble

Looking good Mike. Can't wait to visit the Pugh Estate again and check it out up close.

Nice going, Mike!

One of these I haven't yet allowed into my collection, but the temptation is always there. Thankfully I have plenty of other projects keeping me poor...

Hopefully I'll be able to make Vintage again this year, but will definitely be at Oktoberfest.

Happy holidays!

What are the plans Mike? Stock? or a hot sedan?

[NickVyse]

Congratulations - always good to see another fall into the right hands. That's got to be a cadidate for a little modification hasn't it? It's got replica Tisa written all over it.

A previous owner had started down that path But I did not get the side drafts in the purchase I do have a Lynx set up that I will be trying if the engine turns out ok I have most everything to do an M20 conversion or maybe and M50 installation (stealing Martin's idea on that latter one) We shall see First goal is to get it up and going

Hey Nick, we are coming over for the Bavarian Tour next summer (June) Going to be driving Jeffrey and Adeline's Baur Are you going on that? Like to meet you. This is a trip of a lifetime for us so we are hoping to meet as many of the international 02 community as we can while there

M20 would be cool - esp with triple carbs as my mate is stuffing in his 02 at the moment - looks great. M50 though, IMO, just looks far too plasticky and modern - would go great but I'd be ashamed to open the bonnet!

Bav Tour? Yep, me and the NK will be there and a good UK contingent too:

Congrats on the "Neu" purchase. I'm interested to see more pictures of this new arrival. Is the drive shaft the same length as the 1600-2002?

Does it have a long-neck diff?

Are those 14" rims?

[MikeinNC]

Nick That is great I am really looking forward to seeing your NK and meeting some of the other 02ers Too bad I cannot put the 02 Panel Truck in my suitcase I am sure the guys from England would love to see that.

Pretty close in size, just slightly larger it seems Haven't taken many pictures yet Been a busy holiday with the girls in town and going up and back to Va. Does have a long neck, no clue as to what ratio. 14 inch wheels. Will figure out driveshaft stuff when I put the 5 speed I have planned for it for if I can get the M10 going for now. Humberto wants to take it to Arkansas in April

ahh, you're that Mike - absolutely love that van, has inspired many a silly imaginary project! Be good to meet you and share a few steins.

[Cruzr]

Yikes! Is this schedule to be completed before or after the Sunbeam? You don't cease to amaze me!

[MikeinNC]

Thats a Lotus Robert You were tired that day in Charlottesville Brooke almost has the body off and then I will get the chassis to do my part. Want to get the BMW up and running by April for the spring events We shall see

How are those seats doing?

[FunElan]

Cool NK project! and Cool Lotus project as well, it's only 14 bolts to get the body off the chassis

My dad's had one of those Elans since 1985, awesome cars!

[Cruzr]

When was I in Charlotsville? I new it was one of them japanese cars!

Best part was joining you and your mom for dinner!

My derriere is VERY happy with the newly upholstered Recaro's! Thanks again for everything you did for me and what you do for the 02 community!
