Saturday tour of Vintage Underground

 

I stop at VU every once in awhile on Saturdays to see what's new in the windows.  Oddly this morning I walked over and the door opened!  I walked in and said to the guy there "I didn't think you were open Saturdays."  He explained he was waiting for a tour group but said that I was welcome to come in and look around.  Here's some of what I saw:  GLAS BMW, Datsun 710 2-door Coupe and a Tiger.   










This car is apparently quite rare.  He's having a hard time finding accurate reference photos for the interior.  So if anyone here has one, or has interior photos he'd probably appreciate it!
























My Tiguan dreaming...




Couldn’t resist a wrist shot

What would you choose to work on if you had the time, space and money?

Well I’m a 911 guy

so I probably would have a 964 with NA motor increased displaced and management, rs bumpers and door cards, the interior with rivets, no back seats, full mechanicals. Just off the top of my head.

Looks like a great garage for vintage cars.
