    Default Project 2010 - Steve's Michalak Spider

    Hi

    After finishing the Irmscher Spider and building the Sport replica last year, it was time for the next project

    A colleague offered me his rare Michalak Spider that he owned since 1993. As I could not resist, the car arrived at my home in December.







    The car had been converted to MK2, incl. the engine (C14NZ).
    The rare Scheelmann Sport seats had already been put in the car by Michalak, so they will stay in it.

    The shell is in solid state, only rust on the rear arches. As the head gasket is blown, engine will be replaced.

    Cheers
    Steve

    That's different, not sure I like the colour of it really but love the seats.

    What are you planning on doing to it Steve, please put it back to a MK1.

    So, last week I started with the disassembling.





    Found no rust on the turrets




    And no rust on the sills, battery tray, rear panel and doors

    Only in the trunk, where the reinfocements had been welded




    Plan is:
    - Fit a complete MK1 loom
    - 13SB engine
    - MK1 interior

    Cheers
    Steve
