Great project. Great idea buying the replacement parts from the factory rather than repairing the old ones. Look forward to seeing more photos.

From grasser you say....

Word of advice - get them from the Ultima factory.

Why?

[Novipec]

yes, this was the car.
The old chassis is now ready for melt down to build new things out of it.

I have a spare set rims if you are interested?

Same here. Why?

Is this a route to getting an Ultima on the road in Austria Christian ?
(buy a pre-registered damaged one and repair with new parts)

[Gulf LS3]

my thoughts as well Dave.....

[Novipec]

yes, this would be easyer to register the car.
If some German Ultima drivers red this - they please could help me with their documents (Fahrzeugbrief/Fahrzeugschein, TÜV documents).

The Customer in question does not want to get into a Forum fight so has kept his issues of this forum... He might email you personally if he sees this thread... I think he was in Europe somewhere if i remember..

My post was aimed at Stigs stating to buy it all off the factory, not the customer for rebuilding it.

Not wishing to start a bun fight but as we know there are alternatives to factory parts, some are considerable better.
But if Christian is buying parts off Grasser including screen and body, it'll either be factory standard and Grasser are the middleman, or modified by Grasser to the customers requirements, so why go to the factory if it is easier to get the same or better from Grasser?

[Novipec]

it is as you said, the parts are factory standard, including the AP brake (calipper and disc).
I will get a good price for all the parts, have no waiting time, and Grasser is only 180 miles away from me.

Martin - you have mail!

Good work!

PS: where are you located in Austria? I am 2 hours from Klagenfurt..

[Novipec]

Thanks, I am located in Braunau / upper Austria.
Think this is the wrong direction to you.

Tomorrow I will build my own center placed cable gearshift system with part of a VX220, think that will be work fine!

Yes, you are a little more far! However, I will go to Salzburg this spring, i will try to remember and i will let you know!

Keep us updated about the works on your car!!
