you can get these HRE '935 vintage' wheels for around $10k a set! bargain

I'm sure you could get the real thing below in BBS for similar money with wheel fans

[Shitbreak]

Turbo fan BBS RS's are fucking sick!

Things to check on a 76?

Looking at one that needs a fair bit of work (perfect for me). Just don't want any surprises popping up later down the track that I didn't know to check.

[clutch-monkey]

rust
broken head studs
dodgy lhd->hd conversion if applicable (i.e. wiring and steering column etc)

Sing it to me again...

Main areas of rust in these?

I'm guessing around the windscreens, bottom of the doors, base of guards.

Anything out of the ordinary?

No lhd to rhd conversions. Was left lhd.

How do you check for broken head studs?

[clutch-monkey]

sills, especially area just in front of the rear wheel (three layers of metal here so check it all), where the front fenders join the body, where the rear wheel arches join the body especially if some cunt welded on a widebody, footwells/luggage space floor(battery area) to some degree, check under the oil lines where they run along the body- pretty much just the usual old car places to look, you'll get a good picture of how the body is pretty quickly.

headstuds nfi never had it happen to me haha

if the gearbox feels shit it may not be rooted just the 40 yr old bushings/coupler etc may be out of whack. 915 life

Thanks for the advice.

A couple from Cavallino's yesterday.

^^ Damn!

Besides the obviously sexual 991, that Orange replica and the the blue/BBS RS wheeled one. Yeesuz!

[Cal]

Not seen that Speedster before. Niiiice.

[Grunt]

Have people had success importing the speedster replicas into aus yet from the US? or does the replica bit break the 30year rule and all its stipulations?

Seems you can get a really nice one for US$20k

[Uncle]

If you replica is 30 years old you should be ok. A 1998 replica of a 60's car not so much.

2.7's pull headstuds out of the case material, it doesn't normally break them. sometimes the gearbox/case will have oil blotches on it where the metal has gone porous and will keep seeping oil.

rust normally isn't that bad on a galvenised body, but it's worth looking anyway
