Project -goggomobile sedan gasser?

G'day to all, I currently own ( and have for sale) a goggomobile t sedan, and if I don'tsell it i ha a very stupid idea, to make it into a g***er. The body is usable, but the subframe is too far gone to try and restore it and I'm missing all the other bits. So my idea is straight ch***is out of box steel, straight axel on leaves for the front and a shot diff on ladders for the rear. And whatever engine I can find to stick in it. It wont be loc, it will just be a show/burnout/idiot car , want to do it cheap as possible - under a $1000.
What does everyone think?

Here are some stats for the car.

Goggomobil was a series of microcars produced in the Bavarian town Dingolfing after World War II by Glas.

Glas produced three models on the Goggomobil platform: the Goggomobil T sedan, the Goggomobil TS coupé, and the Goggomobil TL van. The engine was an air-cooled, two-stroke, two-cylinder unit originally displacing 250 cc, but later available in increased sizes of 300 cc and 400 cc. It had an electric pre-selective transmission built by Getrag and a manual clutch. The engine was behind the rear wheels. Suspension was independent all round using coil springs with swing axles.
214,313 sedans, 66,511 coupés, and 3,667 Transporter vans and pickups were built from 1955 to 1969.

Goggomobil T250 with suicide doors and wind-up windows.
The Goggomobil T250 was introduced by Glas at the 1954 IFMA international bicycle and motorcycle show. The T250 was a conventional-looking two door sedan with a rear-mounted 245 cc air-cooled two-stroke straight twin engine.
Design changes were made to the T250 in 1957. Two windshield wipers were used instead of the earlier system with one wiper, and the sliding windows in the doors were changed to wind-up windows. Also at this time the T300 and T400 became available; these had larger engines of 300 cc and 400 cc respectively.

The last design change for the T sedan came in 1964, when the rear-hinged suicide doors were replaced by conventional front-hinged doors.
214,313 sedans were built when production ended on 30 June 1969.[2]

Hell yeah! Do it!
I am from Dingolfing , not more than 200yds away from the Old Glas Factory where your goggo has been built.Bmw took over in 1969. Today this is the biggest BMW plant ,they are ***embling axles and diffs in this old Glas building.They also built scooters there. I'm really surprised one of these has made its way to Australia.
I'd really like to see one of those beeing turned into a fire breathing gas coupe!

 

Interesting thing, and at the risk of going right off topic, after BMW took over the Glas plant they shipped all the Glas saloon tooling to South Africa, where the car was subsequently produced with BMW engines and badges as the BMW 1800SA and 2000SA:



As Glas had no prior exposure in South Africa this was rather typical of the "they'll never know the difference" at***ude many of the mainstream manufacturers had towards their colonial licencees. Sometimes interesting hybrids resulted (especially in South America). More often we had stuff like VW "Super Beetles" with curved windscreens but swingaxles and wide-five drums all round.

I believe gl***fibre-bodied Goggomobils were made under licence by Buckles in Australia. Is that perhaps what you've got hold of?

 

Or you could build a Mille Miglia road racer as in these pictures 'borrowed' from the interweb thingy....

 

cheers guys
I've measured up an 1948 anglia, and a morris 8 front axes and i think its a go. will buy one of them, drag them out of the bush and hack the bits i need out. Just gotta clear some stuff out I've got in the workshop and i'll start. has anyone shortened rear axels at home before????
