    I've seen this one in Montreal for the F1 weekend a few times.

    I hope it's there again this year...

    It sounds amazing.

    Hey Lash, how ya doin?

    I got some parts for wheel flares but they would be of no use to you. I'm building a tribute to a '78 BB IMSA entry of Thompson / Pozzi.

    Open Roads, great to hear from you. I don't have a BB, but it's on my list.

    Please tell us more about the BB project!

    Weak effort. Between the pop up headlights, front bonnet and roof, he's missed at least 4 or 5 opportunities to place large Cavallinos. Hopefully, he made up for it on the airbox cleaners, etc...

    Looks like mostly Koenig bits and some Zender bits.

    These types rear-ends are all inspired by the 70-ies LM and IMSA entries, and I must admit that these are still my fav Boxers to look at.

    Willy Koenig's personal track BB looked much like it too, save that it had also the large intake-ducts on the buttresses (to keep the turbo-monster cool)

    All Helmut Becker's (Auto Becker) BB's had the small flares with wide rims and the then highly fashionable P7 rubber. They went very well that way, but aesthetically I'm biased towards the LM-look (pre moby-dick BB's)

    That said, I'd never do this to a pristine BB. So please, nobody point me to a vastly neglected car....

    Do you think it's a FERRARI? Not sure what it is, without any logos.

    Here is some "customtrics" on my BB.
    13"x15" Ferrari formula one weels from 1972.
    345x35x15 Pirelli tyres.
    Its very easy to make it like original again. I like it,

    Johan.

    I love the look of gold painted wheels on a Boxer.
