1972 Bavaria - Full build and swap

Very interesting and thorough build history. Thank you for posting!

I like the metal fuel lines, and the use of D38999 aircraft-grade connectors to route wiring through the firewall caught my attention.

I also noticed the chrome deletion along the body line; with the proper paint, I feel that body line is elegant and simple, and requires no chrome for "highlights." Great discussion of the wiring issues, and additional details regarding your choice of SpeedHut custom gauges. Significant mods to the engine bay, and nice documentation of soundproofing and interior.

Eventually, I think a lot of people here would love to hear a recoding of the sound of your M30B35 under acceleration with the ITB's....

Looking forward to seeing your next set of posts and images.
 
It’s funny because I feel like we are often striking a balance between being “period correct” and “upgraded” with some of our mods, and if you throw that period correct concept out the window if really opens up options. Again, not for everyone and clearly not a car built for resale value, but as an artistic expression this is definitely a unique and technically impressive vehicle
