Will look for any signs or nametypes on the wheels when I have the car in my garage.
I do know it was a Korbler hardtop (surrey top), but it's been sold already.

Hm, a forum mod in automatically resizing pictures would be a nice addiction to this forum :oops: :wink: :mrgreen:

Mounted a new Pioneer DEH-P77MP radio with mp3 and classic look, fits perfectly I must say:
Image

Also mounted a nice gray softtop, black lids will be red again, will look great then. As the gray/black looks a bit strange for now:
Image

Image

But hopefully we'll be running with the top down, most of the time:

Wheels are Campagnolo Miura wheels, 14 inch, 6J and offset 16. 8)
Been looking for them for over a few weeks now, but can only find one website who's got them mentioned.

I've replaced this steeringwheel:

By this old Spider wheel, after polishing the spokes:

And also I've replaced the broken radiator-surrounds in the centreconsole:

For a new one:

And last but not least, replaced the on the front side fully rusted hood:

And today I've removed the wheels and the tyres from the car.
Brought them to 'Gerritsen-Coatings in Nijkerk, The Netherlands' who will sand and powdercoat them in silver with a top coat.
Let's hope I'll get these babies back in superb state :mrgreen:

So far, so good. You should start posting in the general section so everyone can see. Not too many people hang out in this section.
