How To Restore A Formula Vee

[smsazzy]

As many of you know, I have started restoring a D13 that has been sitting for the last 22 years.

I will be documenting the frame up rebuild on my website. To follow along, go to: http://www.tcrmotorsports.com and click on "About The Car"

The first paragraph is about the Tsunami MKIII that I currently race, (and is for sale) but just below that will be my 'blog' of sorts with details on the progress with pictures, etc. I hope to update it often. I have posted the first pics and blurb today. Check it out.

For any newbies out there, this is also a good opportunity to see what is involved with a frame up rebuild. Please feel free to reach out to me via email, or PM if you are under going a frame up for the first time. I can share with you my project sheet that I use to budget and plan for the event.

If you would like to contribute to the website in a small way (free for you) simply click on the Google advertising banner on my page and that will help me out in a small way.

Thanks, hope you enjoy.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me with help and suggestions. Special thanks to Dietmar for the assembly manual you are sending my way and Brian McCarthy of BRM Engineering for his technical support and assistance.

Between the FV community and the VW community the page documenting the D13 restoration has been viewed over 12,000 times this month!!!!

I have updated the page to show the newest pictures and a brief recap of the work completed today. I am about 1/3rd of the way through the disassembly, then we get to start the fun stuff.

Really looking good. Can you post more photos of the bodywork? What color is it painted?

Latest pictures uploaded. The car is awaiting a couple last items, and a few odd bolts, etc. Nearly ready to go.

This week I will be installing the wheel cylinders, battery, rain light and the exhaust system, which will make the car driveable. Last items will be cosmetic and this car will be practically brand new.

Also of note, this car started 6th in the 1981 National Championship Runoffs and finished 8th. Very cool!
