Thats Awsome!!! There a guy in auckland that i got my Isseta off and he had another one that was just as mint as this. There are about 8 that i know of in NZ and only 5 of them are on the road and running. Good work on the resto though!

It used to look like this when me and dad first got it lol. The rust was just mainly surface rust except on the floor which feel out when we lifted the body of the chassis lol

Its like this at the moment.

I feel it was a bargin for $1500 though. All the main bits are there

[Guest Simon*]

Awesome! Kermit green FTW

Took an interest in Isettas after reading that and look what I found!!!

http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2007/02/bmw-i...-hotwheels.html

1959 BMW Isetta Dragster fitted with a blown Chevy 502 Big-block V8 producing about 730bhp. The automotive equivalent of sticking a rocket up a Frog's arse.

Isetta>E30 M3 lol

[Grant 4]

Very cool - thanks for sharing.

[bravo 34]

$8 a fill, and $2500 worth of vouchers if you win the Minter comp - that's a lot of fills!

Top effort - kudos.
