For those of ou who follow the project, I've got two XXS Thing shells for sale... 181 euros each, shipping charges to be defined.

Hurry up guys, there won't be enough for everyone : the current mold is broken, no new shells expected before long... If any...

The shells I sell are the two rightmost ones on the above picture (detailed in the two below pictures)... Want more information? contact-me... Later will be too late!

EDIT 03/14/2007 : One of the shells for sale is already sold... If you want the very last one, hurry up!
EDIT 13/04/2007 : The second shell, reserved for a while, has been shipped this morning...

I had this idea while reading the "dormir dans son 181" (how to sleep in your thing) article (you need to register to read the article) written by PJ, the webmaster of 181Spirit.com... Excellent idea, I must say!

I only doubled the system to get a fully "Westaliazed" Thing, perfect to sleep at the Menton annual meeting! Here it is!
Hey, time is passing by, I'm getting too old to sleep directly on the floor!

July 2005, Küby is pretty clean, but it still has no top to protect our heads from the rainy days... So I have to take care of its convertible top, and its top chassis as a starter - which is in a rather bad shape...

I nought the top on eBay US. A brand new high quality top, for a little bit more than 260 euros, it's merely impossible to find in old Europe...

The front rail, rusted to the bones, is replaced by a NOS one, brand new in its VW package, found for 150 euros on eBay Germany. You can always find the parts you need... It's just a matter of patience! Now that I'm protected from rain, I still need a clean interior to match... Between Doumé (thanks dude!) who gave me an almost complete interior, and seat covers found on eBay Germany (encore), I finally manage to replace the old, crappy, black interior with a Khaki Green version in pretty good shape... Here we are!
Küby is, at least, ready for looooooooong cruisings... Below is a picture taken at Menton's annual meeting in August 2005. It's been a long way since the first visit to Küby...



As planned, this is not a show car... But this is the ultimate cruising machine when you live on the French Riviera like I do!

I originally planned to keep it 1 or 2 seasons... But finally, I got attached to it, it's so funny to use... Nobody would touch it, you can park it anywhere, drive it with the windshield down... I even use it to carry large object, as the two rear backrests fold down providing a large platform... So useful to me!

You guessed it folks... It would be pretty difficult for me to sell my Küby!

There's pictures we'd like to see more often... The Porsche production line, during the 356 era.
Wet sanding of the bodywork, all done y hand... Aaahh, t'was the good ol' time! You probably noticed, the 3 men trick to fit in the gearbox... Looks like they know their stuff, uh?

Definitely, there's some gems on YouTube...
