For all the boyz and girls that can't read the dutch forum :frown:

Bought in Sept. 2002 from a leading aircooled shop in Belgium as a naked body,with no mechanics.
The Good !!
*No welding has been done in the past
*front,raingutters,cargofloor and cabinefloor are in a "like new" condition !!
*Orginal Dutch crew cab ...
The Bad ...
*has serious roof damage at the rear window
*chassis & floor (after the bulk head) rather "chrispy"
*Gates need serious work ....
modifications
-Porsche 944 S2 rear axle,including the tube,brakes and trailling arms
-Porsche 996 Turbo brakes (disc's and calipers)
-Porsche 944 mastercilinder with servo
-Porsche Cup2 7x17,et55 & 8x17 et70 (need them because the width of the axles is increasing)
-Porsche 915 5-speeder
-Weedeater front axle from Creative/England
-steering T3 (rack and pignion)
For now I'm still collecting bits and pieces,but once it's all there,I'll start !! :D
update 1,monday dec.6th
Finally I got a chance to do something on the brakes.
I was very happy that everthing has turned out as I planned.
(did this before -only then with 996 Carrera2 calipers- on my other Split,a 1967 SO42 westfalia)

Only "downside" (not for me,but for the purist's :D) is that I have to use 17" Porsche wheels to clear the brakes.
Hubs are T2b,and the wheel adaptor (5x112 to 5x130) is directly bolted to the hub,the disc slips over it.

This is how I did it at the westy,using Porsche 993 rear disc's and using (because they are
a little bit smaller) Porsche 996 Carrera2 rear calipers.
Hubs are also T2b,with the -modified- adapter bolted directly to the hub.
I used a Weedeater axle from Creative,witch is 44mm smaller (per side) so I had enough clearance
for the 25mm adater and the 8mm spacer (between disc and wheel to clear the caliper).
