compomotives 16" ;)

[MMgolfnut1]

I believe those rims are Schmidt. ML may be the type, but i'm not sure. I'll look it up 4 you. There is one thing i know 4 sure. These rims are extremely rare!

[Marco]

[Tjaap]

[hajee]

compomotives in 16"!!
does no one believe me?? :frown:

[hajee]

look at the WOB! from august 2004 page 30........ :rolleyes:

[MMgolfnut1]

I've got a VW-speed and a WOB that both tell these rims are made by Schmidt.....

[Gert]

Schmidt IMPORTS wheels to Germany
They never made a single set :D

[Marco]

I thought, the word is much to long for Schmidt :)

[rapid-rabbit]

I'm pretty sure those aren't Zenders, I think the Zenders you might be thinking of are these ones,

edit: sorry, I didn't notice there was a second page :biggrin: so they're compomotives then?

remember we were discussing the original place of the chassisnumber of that car? knew the car directly, but didn't know the owner's a volksforum member

[Stijn]

original place of the chassisnumber is on top of the right forward struttower :D

[Chrispy]

original place of the chassisnumber is on top of the right forward struttower :D
Not on thisone

[Stijn]

why not?

[Chrispy]

In austria it was removed from the strut, and placed elsewhere. something to do with placing a strut bar evt.
That's the only thing i didn't like then. It just took away something originally. IMHO it could be a 83 with a welded rearend.

[snoopydub]

They are labeled Compomotive but they are indeed 100% positive Schimdt TH 1 piece, just built for compomotive thats why they are labeled as such

[veedubluv04]

they look like ronal turbos smoothed and polished

[veedubluv04]

enyone want to enlighten me on wtf a swallow tail is and why it is called this

[Tjaap]

the first series of the mk1 has that indent between the taillights.. that's why they call it a swallowtail

[PerL]

http://www.swallowtail.info/

[veedubluv04]

cheers perl very interesting

[Stijn]

Hey....that's the site Dan and some other swallowtail owners (including ME :)) started....

[Tjaap]

is this swallow in the list yet?

[Chromosexual]

very nice .... !!!!

[74mk1]

looking up some old vw-magazine's this is what I found

vw-wob aug-2004
built by a german guy called Patrick Koller Who apparenly got the car from a couple he was friens with. in this article they are saying it's a may 75 car but,
I remember seeing photo's on the inet (years and years ago)of metalic blue 83 car with the rear cut out. and being turned into this car!!

then the car was sold to a guy in england called Rajan who later sold it to Jay McToldrige
(who I believe still owns it)

PerformanceVW june/08

Jay did a rebuilt on the car, and in the article it is told that the car isn´t a 75.

This car has been to mivw show in 08
