Adding vintage Cibie "bobi", or Z Beams
Not to dissimilar to my acquisition of the vintage, date appropriate, steering wheel hub, I recently came across a set of Cibie "Z" Beams, aka "bobi" headlamps. They were LEGALLY available for a short time (early 1980s) here before the ...

Currently she is out @ tunedbypsi.com getting something MUCH more then an amateur tune that I've been diddling with over the past 2 years. I tried, and although her in-town manners are better now, then 2 years ago... her emissions ...

adjustable camber now

Nice wheel to add
As the interior gets its fair share of attention it needs its own unique features. One of her unique interior features is an older Nardi flat-dish rim @37cm
