Was very excited to see this thread still kicking, Johann was a huge inspiration for many of us. Rest in peace Johann, from Canada with love.

Last months we’ve been very busy at Johann’s workshop, aka Area 34.

Cleaning, sorting, checking the cars, etc.

Status update on Johann’s heritage:

- SDM (the OG N/A racecar ☝🏼); runs and drives. Needs a belt (16 years old, but still looks brand new😅). Needs a seat swap, lots of tiny details and a good cleanup. Had a backfire at first start so it became a 2 cylinder while the Jenveys switched in a save mode. Took us a few headaches to find out. It’s loud, it’s fast, it’s nuts.

- SD11; 855 with 4T4, M66, VST; sold

- 850 Carrier (6 wheeler); failed inspections two years ago. Couple of days work and then it should be good to go. Needs calipers, front axle…Runs and drive. Finding a good place for inspections is hard, it’s a odd size vehicle.


Datsun 180b; first run in 12ish years yesterday. Fitted with a new battery and found out that the ignition didn’t work, as we later found out Johann stated that fault in a old topic in 2012. Needs inspection and a new rms.

Square tires, limited interior. When the 18t starts to spool at 3000tpm, the earth stops rotating. Crazy little car.

D2 (n/a 10v in Porsche green); might become a parts car of the carrier.

850 ERC (CY rallycar) ME7 N/A, to be determined.

Opel Blitz with the T5 will be sold without the engine.

Really nice to work with Johanns sons and his dear long time friend Zippo (Maarten) on his old projects.

❤️
