[project] 309 Turbo Cup

Recommended Posts

sander swinkels

Updated my website:

 

http://www.swinkelsracing.com, 309 Turbo Cup.

 

I'm translating it at this moment, and will update this topic today or tomorrow.

You can also use google.translate. But I think that it won't be quite right.

Does this have a fibreglass boot lid and polycarb window or is it standard metal & glass?

Where are you getting the new polycarb rear window and new boot lid from?

 

I haven't seen the rear windows for sale.

I have a set of SL 431's and the guy I bought them from had got them from a 405.

But they seem to be very rare. Had a norwegian guy that offered me £1000 for them. :P

 

 

Very nice project, well done.

 

Sorry but there's one thing thats bugging me so i have to point it out, the SL 431 alloys are not SL 431 but are actually SL 341 :P

I bought all the engine-parts from 1 person in France.. He contacted me, and told me that he had these parts, and would like to sell them to me..

 

I payed a total amount of 4 figures.. ;) It was enough..

 

This weekend a few more parts arrived:

This is right at the top of my favorite topics.

 

Unfortunately some of the picture links on the first page are broken. Any chance you can fix them? ^_^

Update : March 2012:

 

Meanwhile, of course,continue the process of collecting parts..So I was looking for a 2nd set of PTS SL341's, So I have 2 sets for my project..

 

Ten days back I got the tip of Arnold Naber (well known here) that there was a set for sale in Belgium for very little money ..The seller had them for 10 years in the attic, left them with his parents and had completely forgotten that he still had them..And I got the idea that the person didn't know how special they were..So I had luck with them ..

Since I have also bought a complete 309 GTi phase 1, I now also have all the wiring harnesses together, and I have the complete dashboard all together..

 

So all in all going in the right direction..

 

So once the 309 Goodwood is ready, I'm happy to get on with this project..
