Discovery channel video - Building a Speedster replica

Somehow it got to my hands an avi file of a Discovery Channel euro program where they build a Speedster replica (english). It's 174 MB, if you guys think it would be good to put it somewhere here let me know and I'll uploaded wherever you tell me.

Damned right--let's see it! Thanks---Jack

I saw this, is this it?

Mike, that's the one!

Thanks for the link, Mike. I was watching this one night and fell asleep 1/3 the way through. Now I have a chance to watch it while awake.It's always nice to see video of 356 not from a cell phone that run longer than 20 seconds .

Hey those little "wings" on the side of the windsheild (at the beginning of the video when the woman pulls up and stops in the silver speedster) are pretty cool. I was thinking about doing something like that but putting them on the windows instead, to keep them from getting sucked outward and also keeping a little more rain out when I get caught in those summer storms. Anyone seen those before?

Hi guys, I don't often post but just in case you want to know what those little wings are. They're the guide/seal for the wind up windows. They're permanently attached to the door.Some people don't like them over here (it's a Chesil/Tygan design) as it's an obvious change to the original. I like wind up windows.

Somehow Henry was able to reduce the size of his "wing" design on IMs, but they have approximately the same thing.

Anyone else catch that the old VW donor was a split window with a 1200cc engine?

I sure did, couldn't believe my eyes. That was just so wrong, wiping out a split window! It looked in great shape.
Other than that it was a great video, made me want to get out and drive.

Great video--good boost for the "non-rustable, powerful and stoppable" versions of the timeless Speedster!---Jack

That was a phoney split, probably a fiberglass insert. the doner car had a gas flap lid

Look again guys......The "split window" is a glassed in fake section :) ....Have a look around 1:06 mins in

The "Split" was grafted on to a later model Bug.
A replica, of sorts, in it's own rite...

Doh!
