Przybylski's Speed Shop Single Cab

Post by dsan »

As promised, it's time to start this project as all the parts have finally started to come together.

Always wanted one, was amazing when one was offered to me and it's been under wraps for a few months now. Yes it's a Fleetline, no I don't give a monkeys what you think, so shut it about that aspect.

Thankfully this doesn't have much rust at all, which is a good start. The bits that are rusted have been sorted with some lovely metal from Karl at Autocraft in the UK
Image

I've also managed to grab some Porsche Teledials, Safari Window's and other goodies, which will eventually make their way onto the SC.

So, plans:

Body:
Fix all rust, then i'll drive up to Jozi and grab it. Plan then is for it to be sandblasted and then me doing all the prep work required for paint. I'm giving myself 10 weeks for prep alone.
Paint will most likely be along the lines of:
Image

Interior:
I'm having a full bench made up with a lovely cow hide purchased in the Natal Midlands.
Image
Yes, the seat will be hide, booya!. Other than that, the dash will remain totally standard, but the air vent will have an oil temp, pressure and fuel gauge in it. Sound will be installed but not sure how, most likely just an iPhone jack going into an amp somewhere.

Running gear:

Buggered'd box, SA setup and disc's at the front. Toying with the idea of going down the route of a 944 conversion at the front, all depending on availability of parts. Narrowed front beam (4")

Engine:

Impi 1776 all the way. Dual carbs, nice cam, an IMPI special.

Wheels:
Porsche Teledials (black) with some decent rubber

I'll also be having some sign writing added to the doors, but more to come on that later.

Should be a good project, I'm giving myself until Nov to get this 100% ready.

I've seen pictures of that split somewhere, but just can't remember where. Sounds like a wicked project, hope that you're not putting eyelids on it?

Is anyone running an iPod/Phone like that? I've read that sound quality is compromised doing it that way. Apparently the proper plug is available from Radio Shack (and others) to wire it in like a docking station - that way it charges too. The cable needs to be made up to fit your application, but there is info available on the interweb...
I have asked around locally about this but no-one has a clue. They all want to sell me the Sony/iPod head unit.

Barry,

I too have been spending a big amount of time working out the best way to do it and then Kieft en Klok came up with:
Image

My idea is to then modify that so it includes the jack and charging adapter, which should do the job.

Hi Barry you are correct. The sound quality is definately not as good. I find myself rather burning mp3 cd's instead of using my ipod. It also depends on how large your sound system is, if you have spend a good few bob on a decent system then using an ipod is definately not worth it.

But :D

If you just want to play some casual tunes without really blasting it then the ipod is definately a good choice.

Spent today googling the various options for making the load bed a little more robust. I will be custom making the pine bed strips but fancy a little more protection for the inside of the drop gates and load bed, whilst at the same time keeping with the look and feel.

Options are:

Rubber woven mat, which works well as it goes over everything and should protect the load bed, but not the sides
Image

Rubberising the bed, gates and then adding the wood
