Chuck Most Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) This is the junky, 1990-vintage Revell kit, so that means guilt-free chopping and cutting! Basic objective? Put the 'Party' back in 'Communist Party'. Edited July 24, 2012 by Michigan Madman

RodneyBad Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 As long as it is Guilt free, Your good to go.. Very Interesting, can't wait to see what you're gonna do to it..
MachinistMark Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 that, is the funniest picture i have seen in a long long time.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Oh my, Chuck, this thing is looking perfect. So keep it going, I'm looking right over your shoulders . . .
jeffs396 Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Chuck, if that filler piece out back isn't glued in yet, you could make a "hot tub" out of it for a real party Or a Pike's Peak racer, to make sure it's there on time for the next "Summit" meeting
Dr. Cranky Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 You are putting a big smile on my face with this one!
Jantrix Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 <---------------says no to the rear fender skirts. Other than that, loving this.
Chuck Most Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 <---------------says no to the rear fender skirts. Other than that, loving this. Rob- tell that facepalm-loving feline that while I honor his opinion and input, I respectfully disagree with his issue on the skirts.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I like this skirts, it's what make this Trabant DIFFERENT!
Chuck Most Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 Strange how much a Trabant resembles a Sunbeam Alpine/Tiger when you hack off the roof and lower the trunk lid-
Alyn Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Alright, you've officially gone over the edge...
Chuck Most Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 No, that happened back around '97 or so. Still a way to go on this one!
Kris Morgan Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I dig it. For some reason I think pedal car when I look at it though.
robertw Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I look forward to seeing this built since I did the same thing about a year back. Instead of a custom I built mine as a stock factory convertible. My research indicated that a few conv may actually have been built by the factory and certainly the present Trabbi community in Europe have converted more to soft tops. When I was in East Germany in 1990 Trabants were everywhere, on the sides of roads with flat tires (explains why most coupes had a rack on the roof to carry a couple of tires), on the sides of the roads with the hood up, abandoned in back yards and on the streets and a few were even on the highways (appearing first as a cloud of thick black exhaust ahead of you). Considering how bad a car they were it's amazing why they've become a popular cult car in Europe today. rob
